Summary
After Council rejected a three-story storage facility last September over impacts on homes to the west, the petitioner returned with two two-story buildings — assisted living in back, retail/office in front — plus a 20-foot buffer and six-foot wall. A neighbor's lighting, dumpster and hours questions were addressed, and the commission unanimously recommended approval.
