The City of Lakewood Community Development Department will be holding a public hearing for permit numbers 3241- Unusual Use Permit- Starlite Trailer Parking; and 9014- Land Use Modification Permit for previous CUP (LU-18-00222). The proposed project (3241) consists of site improvements for a trailer parking facility to support the tenants of the industrial warehouse across 82nd ST S at parcel #0320312109. Land Use Modification #9014 is being utilized to eliminate a restriction in previously approved CUP (#LU-18-00222) which restricts truck/trailer traffic across 82nd ST S.
The proposal for application #3241 is located at 3515 82nd ST S (APN0320312111) and the proposal for application #9014 is located at 3451 84th ST S (APN#0320312109). Both properties are located within the Commercial 2 (C2) zoning district. The existing warehouse at 3451 84th ST S is considered a legally non-conforming use which was approved under conditional use permit #LU-18-00222 in 2018 when the use was considered conforming. Removing the existing restriction related to truck traffic will not impact the legal nonconforming status of the use or site. The proposed trailer parking was previously not identified within the Lakewood Municipal Code at the time of original application but is now defined and allowed in the C2 zone upon approval of a conditional use permit (which is the same process as the mentioned unusual use permit which was originally applied for).
All persons wishing to submit written comments on this project prior to the public hearing may do so by April 29, 2024. Written comments may also be submitted at the hearing and interested parties may testify at the public hearing.
The project files are available upon request. A copy of the staff report will be available for review through the Community Development Department five (5) calendar days prior to the public hearing.
