In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposal for a conditional use permit for a property located at the southeast corner of Paradise Lane and 53rd Avenue, approximately 7.2 miles northeast of city hall. The property, which spans approximately 35,000 square feet, currently houses a single-family home and has been the site of a pool business for the past seven years.

The proposed business will operate as a Class 2 home-based occupation, necessitating the conditional use permit due to the presence of employees visiting the site. The plan includes the development of a parking area at the rear of the property, accommodating 14 vehicles, with seven designated for work vehicles that will be parked overnight. The business will employ a total of 16 individuals, including the property owners, who will handle office and clerical tasks on-site during business hours from 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.

To mitigate potential impacts on the surrounding residential area, the business has implemented staggered arrival and departure times for technicians, ensuring that no more than one technician is on-site for more than an hour during peak times. The property will also feature a manual RV gate for access to the parking area, with improvements made to ensure a dustproof surface to minimize noise and dust.

During the public involvement phase, the applicant received support from local residents, with only one inquiry regarding the conditional use permit process. Staff analysis indicated that the proposal aligns with the city’s general plan and zoning regulations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the residential character of the neighborhood while allowing for small business operations.

The meeting concluded with staff affirming that the proposal would not adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of neighboring property owners, citing adequate space for on-site parking and existing landscaping that provides necessary buffering from the street. The property’s access via 53rd Avenue, classified as a collector street, is deemed sufficient to handle the anticipated traffic generated by the business.
