Looking at that stretch of road using Bing maps (Bing has it marked as Diamond Drilling), it looks like they are applying to legitimize a pre-existent use behind their home that appears to be the only obvious non agricultural business on a stretch of road with mostly developed lots with a mix of residential and agricultural uses. It always help when someone is running a commercial operation in a residential neighborhood if they live with it too, they tend to be more considerate of the neighbors. It is definitely more piece meal rezoning by conditional use permit though, which is not the best way to make land use decisions in general.
When we lived on a narrow, sidewalkless, quiet, dead end street, and had a landscaper move in and start using their place for a base yard with a fleet of trucks running in and out 6 days a week, it was not fun. The back up beeper on the trucks starting at 6 am was the worst part of it, with the lead foot employees who didn't worry about the safety of the resident herd of kids on bikes and foot running a close second. It just depends on how much and what kind of traffic they will be generating. At least 32nd is close to the highway so wear and tear on the roads from heavy trucks will be less.
