Staff Report

Staff report for Case #2025-05, a conditional use request for warehouse use at 7452 Springfield Avenue in the B-L (Business Local) zone (Map/Parcel 0200/4338-4). The report walks the BZA through the ten conditional-use evaluation criteria, applying the Carroll County definition of warehouse (§158-002) since the Town's ordinance does not define the term. Staff conclude that they are not opposed to approval given the site's prior warehouse use, the structural integrity questions favoring rehabilitation over redevelopment, and the fact that any approval will still go through Planning Commission site plan review and Historic District Commission design review.
