title
Public hearing and consideration of the request by Jeff Olson, Hansen Storage Company, for a Conditional Use in the M1/Planned Unit Development District at 1300 Glenview Place for a general warehousing operation
body
A. Background/Options
The applicant proposes to operate a multi-tenant storage/warehousing facility at 1300 Glenview Place in the Light Industrial (M1)/Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone. Surrounding land uses include railroad tracks and open space to the north, open space to the west, and a mix of residential and commercial uses to the south and east. Currently there are three (3) buildings onsite:
Building 1: (Warehouse Building): 184,838 square feet
Building 2: (Warehouse Building): 24,441 square feet
Building 3: (Office Building) 16,556 square feet
Hansen intends to occupy a portion of either Buildings 1, 2, or 3 (space location and square footage are to be determined) while leasing the remaining square footage to other businesses for storage purposes. Hansen will primarily use their portion of the building(s) for long term product storage which will be managed by approximately ten (10) employees. All storage will occur inside existing building(s), no outdoor storage is requested.
On June 1, 2021, the Common Council approved a Zoning Map Amendment & Planned Unit Development preliminary plans to allow construction of a multi-family residential development at the project site. Ultimately, the plan did not moved forward as the project became infeasible.
