UPHOLSTERY & FURNITURE MANUFACTURING USE IN MCCD ZONE – Project #14-46 Cory Milne was the applicant present.

(Includes antiques, etc.) ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning Commission Meeting April 17, 2014 Page 6 2510 Household furniture. (Handwork trades only in no more than 5,000 feet; deliveries and shipping only during normal business hours; no odors; no outside storage). The Murray City Center District was adopted in 2011 and is envisioned as the commercial, civic and cultural center for the community. As such the M-C-C-D is a mixed use zoning district that is intended to preserve the historic downtown area of Murray City and provide redevelopment of the downtown area with buildings and uses that will enhance physical, social and economic connections for the city. With a mix of uses ranging from residential to commercial/retail and even some light manufacturing uses, many other uses which are not compatible with the character and intent of the M-C-C-D are prohibited. Manufacturing uses have been discouraged within this zoning district except for those uses which are of a low intensity and are limited in size and hours of operation. For example, land use code #2300 consists of manufacturing of apparel and is a permitted use within the M-C-C-D subject to a size restriction that those uses consist of no more than 5,000 square feet. Deliveries and shipping for those uses may only be during normal business hours and no odors or outdoor storage may be associated with those uses. The applicant is requesting the approval of a text amendment to the M-C-C-D which would allow re-upholstery and furniture repair along with the light manufacturing of household furniture. Community Development staff is recommending approval of the proposed text amendment to add the two uses as permitted uses within the M-C-C-D subject to the same standards required for other manufacturing uses within the zoning district. Cory Milne, 9497 S Lady Dove Lane, South Jordan. Mr. Taylor asked Mr. Milne is all of the furniture is custom made. Mr. Milne answered in the affirmative. The meeting was opened for public comment. No comments were made and public comment portion was closed. Ms. Daniels made a motion send a recommendation of approval to the City Council for a Land Use Ordinance Text Amendment to allow Upholstery & Furniture Uses in the M-C-C-D zoning district.
