Pursuant to SRMC Section 14.05.020, uses not listed on the commercial matrix (SRMC Table 14.05.020) shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission to determine whether the proposed use is consistent with the specified review criteria for the Francisco Boulevard West Commercial District. Following review of the proposed use, and pursuant to SRMC Section 14.22.020.B, the Community and Economic Development Director determined that the application may be processed and acted on by the Zoning Administrator as it is an inconsequential use and will not have a detrimental impact on surrounding properties (see Findings below), and therefore does not warrant the designated level of review by the Planning Commission. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project proposes to operate the National Response Team (NRT) restoration and emergency equipment storage facility. The NRT primarily services to restore structures following damages related to water, fire, smoke and mold damage. The warehouse stores restoration and personal protection equipment for employee and client use. Administrative offices are also located within the warehouse space to accommodate five (5) to seven (7) on-site employees. The warehouse operates from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm for administrative purposes and equipment and supply pick-up by employees and clients. Trucks associated with the business are expected to be onsite during business hours and offsite outside of business hours.
