KEY ISSUES Length of Use STAFF COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Urban Planning and Land Use Comments: 1. How long are you planning to utilize this trailer on the site? Applicant Response: We don t want the trailer to be permanent but we need it for the short term (5 years) while we evaluate our capacity to expand our current facility or acquire additional buildings in the area. 2. Are there plans to build a permanent structure for this use? What is the time frame on those plans? Applicant Response: The hospital will need time to raise money to fund any future expansions. The intent is to remove the trailer when a future expansion is designed and built. Since it is dependent on fundraising, there is no guarantee that 5 years will be enough. In that case, we would reapply for an extension to the special use permit should circumstances dictate such action. Staff recommends an approval time period of two (2) years initially as prescribed by code. If approved, trailer shall remain screened from view. #SP-2017-39 June 12, 2017 4
