Summary:
The 0.77-acre property at 115 NW 16th Street, located in the I-1 (General Industrial) zoning district, currently includes a 7,920 SF one-story industrial building. A proposed project plans to remodel the existing structure, add a 4,848 SF warehouse to the west side, improve driveways for better access and circulation, upgrade landscaping and irrigation, and provide ADA-compliant parking. The project requires a variance for a 30-foot rear setback on the north side and 10-foot interior setbacks on the west and south sides.
