ANALYSIS:
The application was reviewed against the following criteria:

1. Will the proposed special use be consistent with the stated purpose of the zoning district in which it will be located? It is staff's opinion that the proposed special use is not consistent with the stated purpose of the LI zoning district, in that many of the uses included in the application are more retail/assembly in nature, which differ from the service/distribution uses that exist and are occupying adjacent buildings.


2. Will the establishment of the special use not impede the normal and orderly development of the surrounding property for uses predominate in the area? It is staff's opinion that there are a limited number of parking spaces available in the front portion of the building to accommodate the uses proposed in the application that could lead to vehicular conflicts within the remainder of the adjacent buildings and respective parking areas.


3. Is the location and character of the proposed special use consistent with a desirable pattern of development in general? It is staff's opinion that many of the uses included in the application are more retail/assembly in nature, which differ from the service/distribution uses that exist and are occupying adjacent buildings.
