The petitioner is seeking a Special Exception to allow:
heavy industrial uses in the I Industrial District
A Special Exception may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon
the evidence presented at a public hearing, that:
(1) The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort,
community moral standards, convenience or general welfare;
As the proposed use is in an area comprised exclusively of industrial uses, a heavy
industrial use should not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral
standards, convenience or general welfare.
(2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or
property values therein;
As the entire adjacent area is zoned as an I Industrial District with industrial land uses, a
modest heavy industrial use should not adversely affect the surrounding area.
(3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is
located and the land uses authorized therein;
The proposed use of heavy industry is consistent with the character of the district in which it
is located and the surrounding land uses.
(4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
City Plan (2006) Objective ED2 recommends the city "Retain existing businesses and recruit
new ones to the city'. Allowing heavy industry use on this site will help recruit a new
business to the city in an appropriately located area.
Analysis: The current zoning of all neighboring properties is I Industrial and the subject
property is located in an industrial park. This is a suitable location for heavy industrial uses,
which should not negatively impact the broader community and should help recruit a new
business to the city.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the information provided prior to the public hearing, the staff
recommends the Board send the petition to the Common Council with a favorable
recommendation as presented.
