The Municipal Code does not specify parking for commercial storage or production, and is evaluated upon the type of use.

It is also recommended that storage containers be incorporated to offset any visual blight. Concerns were expressed by the Fire Department and Building Official. In order to move the application forward, the Planning Staff recommended conditions to the permit and language to include that the Applicant coordinate and work with the City’s Building Official and Fire Department to obtain all necessary building permits, address improvements, and that final use and site layout be subject to Building Official approval. The Applicants primary use of hand tools over power tools should minimize noise impacts and blend in with the surrounding commercial daytime activities. The Applicants use would provide a positive contribution to the artist community of Sand City.
