Summary:
The applicant is requesting minor site plan approval for an outdoor storage. The applicant, who manages industrial outdoor storage sites nationwide, plans to continue using the property for equipment and material storage as it has been for over 30 years. Although the proposed use is typically exempt from site plan approval under City code, there is no approved site plan on file. Therefore, the owner is submitting this application to establish a formal record of existing site conditions and ensure continued use.
