Adoption of this motion will result in the construction of six storage silos exceeding 45 feet in height on property located at 7920 — 215 Street. Overview National Polymers KW Holdings, LLC, (d /b /a National Polymers) has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of six storage silos on property located at 7920 — 215 Street. The proposed silos would be at a height of 68 feet. The property is zoned I -2, General Industrial District which allows a building height of 45 feet unless a conditional use permit is approved to exceed that height. National Polymers is a plastics manufacturer that has operated at this location in Airlake Industrial Park since 1973. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their June 7, 2012 meeting and recommended unanimous approval. There was no public comment at the public hearing. Staff also recommends approval of the conditional use permit. Primary Issues to Consider What, if any, impact is there to properties in the area? The requested silo height of 68 feet is consistent with the height of other similar storage silo structures approved in the area of Airlake Industrial Park. Due to the routine nature of storage silo height requests, the Planning Commission recommended that consideration be given to allowing them by administrative permit. This will be discussed in more detail at a future Planning Commission work session.
