Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Designation — The comprehensive plan and zoning designation for the property is Commercial Enterprise (CE). Pursuant to F)YRC 19.240.050, tow lots are an allowed use in the CE zones. 3. Setbacks — The setbacks from the west and south property lines are both 15 feet. The western property line setback has been waived based on the request submitted by the applicant. The reasoning behind this decision is due to the similar use, contiguous ownership of the subject and adjacent properties, and lack of proposed improvements (intrusions into setback is for vehicle storage only). Therefore, vehicles must be kept a minimum of 15 feet from the south property line.

Community Design Guidelines — As proposed, both the existing and proposed fences comply with FWRC 19.115.090(2); the existing chain -link will utilize privacy slats for additional screening in addition to the proposed cedar fence.
