INFORMATION: Harris, Inc. was issued a Conditional Use Permit, now titled Special Use Permit-A, on October 26, 1982 for the construction and operation of a wholesale distribution facility on the property located at 308 Highway 54 Bypass (Attachment A). The Harris Distribution Facility closed and the permit was subsequently modified, in 2004, to allow for a Copy Center/Printing Operation (use #3.150). The printing operation closed and the building was later converted into an Elementary and Secondary School (use #5.110) in February of 2010. This school has since closed and the applicant is requesting that the permitted use be returned to the original use of Wholesale Sales (use #2.130). The proposed use of the building involves helium sales for distribution to local medical facilities.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION:r The Town Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt the attached resolution approving the requested change-in-use to Wholesale Sales (use #2.130).
