Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org

Summary: Consistent with CCMC 18.04.020, as the property is “split zoned,” to utilize the entire parcel with a use that is only allowed in one of the zoning districts, a special use permit is required for that portion of the property not zoned for the use. The product production, particularly given the use of a powder coating, is being considered most like automobile body painting, thus a special use permit is required in the GC zoning district. The applicant’s intent is to produce one- of-a-kind and personalized gifts, marketing materials, and home decor for retail and wholesale. The Planning Commission is authorized to approve a Special Use Permit.
