C. Action on Conditional Use Permit Case No. 2016-0493

The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a warehouse and transfer facility for general freight, to establish in a Light Industrial (L-1) zoning district, Assessor's Parcel No. 227-23-029. The Conditional Use Permit is required as per Article 2-6 Chapter 8 Section 8.1-C.3 of the City of San Luis Zoning Ordinance. 

This is the first proposed development in the Magrino Industrial Park Unit 2 Subdivision. All lots adjacent to this development are zoned Light Industrial and are undeveloped. The nearest development to this proposed project are the Port of Entry II and the ADOT Facility. 

The proposed building is approximately 49,800 sq. ft. and is planned to be a warehouse transfer/custody and inspection facility. The building will house an approximately 13,000 sq. ft. cooler/freezer space and a 3,000 sq. ft. office with the balance being a warehouse/transfer facility which is contained within a fenced/secured site.

There would also be a customs inspection office to allow the review of imported products from Mexico. The project will have appropriate drainage facilities, landscaping, parking and utility connections. 

GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as “Business” in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The Business Land Use designation includes all types of higher intensity commercial, office, employment and appropriate industrial uses. The property is zoned as Light Industrial (L-1) which is one of the appropriate zoning districts in the “Business” category. 

AGENCY REVIEW:
As part of the review process, all land use cases are reviewed by various City and outside agencies. As required by State Statute, staff sent notification letters to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed project ( 3 letters).

The City has not received any significant concerns or objections from the various review agencies or adjacent property owners. 

The applicant has provided the information and materials necessary for review of the Conditional Use Permit.

The Conditional Use Permit is to allow a warehouse and transfer facility for general freight on property located at 4832 E. Vaughan Street. It will still be required to comply with all applicable regulations adopted by the City. 

Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 2016-0493.

The reason for approval is that the request meets the criteria of the City of San Luis Zoning Ordinance and is consistent with the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan.
