BACKGROUND The Fayetteville Unified Development Code (UDC) Chapter 162.01(B), Use Unit 2, contains a list of uses that may be conducted anywhere in the Fayetteville city limits subject to Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit, as these uses can sometimes be objectionable to nearby uses. Use Unit 2 includes campgrounds, solid waste disposal facilities, carnivals, construction trailers, and other temporary facilities. It is typical for a large site under construction to contain a temporary office structure with utility connections for the purpose of efficiently overseeing and managing the construction process. The office is removed from the site once construction is completed or prior to a City-issued certificate for occupancy. In the past, these temporary construction offices have been treated as an accessory use to the construction of a permitted project on the same property and have not been required to request a conditional use permit. Staff proposes to strike "Construction facility" from Use Unit 2, City-wide uses by conditional use permit, finding that it is onerous to require Planning Commission approval for a conditional use permit to utilize a temporary construction facility on a temporary construction site. Staff also proposes to replace "Construction facility" with "Commercial facility". This would allow the Planning Commission to approve a Conditional Use Permit for a temporary commercial facility, such as an office, retail, or eating establishment. The intent is to provide an option for property/business owners to utilize interim space during expansion, construction, reconstruction, or for outdoor mobile vendors requesting to operate on private property longer than the current 90-day limit. DISCUSSION On July 12, 2010 the Planning Commission unanimously forwarded this request to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. BUDGET IMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.

Planner: Dara Sanders BACKGROUND The Fayetteville Unified Development Code (UDC) Chapter 162.01(B) contains a list of uses that may be conducted anywhere in the Fayetteville city limits subject to Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit, as these uses can sometimes be objectionable to nearby uses. Use Unit 2 includes campgrounds, solid waste disposal facilities, carnivals, construction trailers, and other temporary facilities. It is typical for a large site under construction to contain a temporary office structure with utility connections for the purpose of efficiently overseeing and managing the construction process. The office usually contains the final set of construction drawings permitted by the City, telephones, computers, and meeting space for the sole purpose of site construction and is removed from the site once construction is completed or prior to a City-issued certificate for occupancy. In the past, these temporary construction offices have been treated as an accessory use to the construction of a permitted project and have not been required to request a conditional use permit.
