The Paradise Town Board Advisory Board on July 8 approved preliminary staff conditions on several land‑use applications, including a parking‑lot design review and waivers, an office use permit for an industrial site on Reno Avenue, a review for a food processing facility, abandonment of utility easements for a roadway segment, and multiple waivers and design reviews for residential subdivision adjustments.

These routine approvals matter for local development because they authorize a mix of commercial and industrial uses—parking adjustments in a commercial/resort overlay, conversion of industrial space to office use, and civil‑plan corrections tied to road and easement work—without significant public opposition recorded at the meeting.

Key items approved by voice vote or motion with preliminary staff conditions included:

- UC2540063: A use permit and design review for a 1.9‑acre parking lot in a CR (Commercial Resort) overlay, requesting waivers to eliminate street landscaping, alter parking landscaping, reduce setbacks and adjust trash enclosures. No public speakers opposed; the board approved the item.

- UC250426: A use permit to allow office use within an existing office‑warehouse complex on 3.63 acres in an IL (Industrial Light) zone on the north side of Reno Avenue; applicant Gary Coby presented and the board approved with preliminary staff conditions.

- AR2540059: A waiver and design review for a post‑food seafood processing facility and associated site adjustments on 1.08 acres in an IP (Industrial) zone in the airport overlay; the applicant presented and the board approved with preliminary staff conditions.

- CS250438 (Aristocrat Technology): An abandonment of easements affecting local rights‑of‑way; Philip Dunning represented the applicant and said civil improvement plans were not permitted previously and the abandonment is being requested to correct record plans. No public opposition; board approved with preliminary staff conditions.

- Combined items read together (BF250453 and WS250452 etc.): Multiple waivers of development standards and design reviews for single‑family residences and subdivisions, including reduced lot area and increased wall height requests; board approved with preliminary staff conditions after no public speakers objected.

Board members moved and approved each item by voice vote after staff presentation and applicant comment. The record shows these items proceeded without extended debate or formal roll‑call votes; motions were approved as "Aye" in each case.

Item 6 on the agenda was deleted or held earlier in the meeting; the board noted it will return to that item separately. The board closed general business and adjourned after public comment closed with no speakers.

The approvals advance the permits into their next administrative stages; applicants and staff will complete any required conditions or plan corrections before final permits are issued.
