Approved Commission recommends approval of this request, it ought to be strictly conditioned to ensure the negative impacts that typically result with car sales businesses will not exist at this site. Zoning Code Section 8-130 establishes five general health, safety&welfare findings that must be met in order to approve a Special Use Permit. Staff provided a written analysis of those standards within the Planning Report & finds those standards are met based on the following: • Primary use will be office. • Exterior vehicle parking will be limited to 5 vehicles, which must be in good repair, operable,and have valid licenses. • Adequate parking exists on site. • The business should have little,if any,negative impacts on adjacent uses. • Typical car sales tactics won't be used, such as car display lots and signage on public roadways. 51 notices were sent to the neighbors within 350 feet of the property,no inquiries were received. Staff recommends the City Council approve the request, subject to the following conditions: • No more than 5 vehicles, in addition to employee or customer vehicles, are permitted on site during business hours. The applicant may only store a maximum of 5 vehicles on site outside business hours. • Any vehicles located on the property,whether advertised for sale or not, shall be operable, in good repair, and be properly licensed. • Inoperable vehicles may not be kept on site. • All vehicles must be located in designated parking stalls at all times. • Hours of operation shall be limited to Monday thru Friday, 9am to 5pm, Saturday by appointment only, &closed on Sunday. Commissioner Zisla questioned where the rules of limitations of operations are included. City Planner Gundlach noted the conditions limit the number of vehicles and condition of the vehicles. Commissioner Zisla suggested the description of the business is missing from the conditions. Commissioner Danger asked where"private sales" are addressed,to avoid the possibility of public sales. Ms. Gundlach suggested the commission could add a condition "Sales are limited to credit union members only." Ms. Gundlach noted the location is somewhat hidden, Commissioner Zisla suggested adding a condition to legally restrict certain activities. Schiferl suggested the following language be added; No exterior signage, and limiting the number of cars. Commissioner Zisla suggested following the state application requirements. Andy Bryce,representing CU Companies explained how credit union sales work, noting sales are typically done through credit union members. Commissioner Danger stated he is not opposed to the sales to the public, but would like the Special Use Permit language clarified. Schiferl suggested using the language used in the biannual sales permit. Ms. Gundlach noted that would not really be relevant,as there are many more than five cars at those particular sales events. Mr.Bryce commented that there would be no repairs or detailing completed at the site,strictly sales only. Ms. Gundlach suggested adding the following two conditions: • Exterior advertisements,including window signs are prohibited. • Any for-sale vehicles must be serviced off site. Vice Chair Schiferl asked for comments from the audience. Kevin Vendex, representing Trend Enterprises expressed his gratitude to the City for their thoroughness. Mr. Vendex stated he supports the commissions point to protect from any future tenants. Commissioner Danger questioned the process if more than the five allotted parking stalls are full. Mr. Bryce commented that he drives one of the cars that are for sale; and noted the likelihood of having 5 cars for sale at one time is very small. Additionally the property management company has indicated they would have seven stalls if needed. 3
