Cameron Langille, Principal Planner
At its meeting on December 7, 2021, the Planning Commission (PC) voted 6:0 to recommend approval of
SP201900009 with conditions 1, 3, 4, and 5 as stated in the staff report and a recommendation to remove
condition 2.
The PC recommended approval of the two special exception applications, SE202100036 and
SE202100037, associated with the special use permit by a vote of 6:0.
Attachments A, B, and C are the PC staff report, action letter, and meeting minutes.
DISCUSSION:
The PC raised no objections to the S.L. Williamson Replacement Asphalt Plant special use permit
request. However, the PC raised concerns with condition #2 recommended by staff which states "Use of
the asphalt plant authorized by this special use permit will expire when the adjacent quarry is no longer in
operation." The PC discussed several scenarios that could be problematic if condition #2 were imposed
on the asphalt plant use. For example, the condition would result in expiration of approval for the asphalt
plant use if the quarry were to cease operations for a short period of time due to a change in ownership.
Therefore, the PC recommended that condition #2 be removed entirely.
No members of the public spoke at the public hearing for this proposal.
Staff has revised the proposed conditions for SP2019-09 to reflect the Commission's recommendation
and these are reflected in Attachment D. The original condition #2 recommended by staff has been
removed. The remaining conditions that were recommended for approval by the PC have been
renumbered (1-4).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board:
1) adopt the attached Resolution to approve the special use permit request, subject to the conditions
attached thereto (Attachment E);
2) adopt the attached Resolution to approve the critical slopes special exception request
(Attachment F); and
3) adopt the attached Resolution to approve the special exception request to waive building site
area and dimension requirements (Attachment G).
