Special Use Permit – Silver Lake Auto Planning Commission Report; 9-18-18 Page 4 Special Use Permit Review In General:  The need for a Special Use Permit is triggered by the specific use of “automobile sales” in the I-1 District. Zoning allows the City to approve any use within the I-1 district by special use permit except those uses specifically guided for the City’s I- 2 district Criteria Review: Zoning Code Section 8-130 contains five standards the City must review prior to making a decision on any specially permitted use. The applicant and staff analysis of these standards is shown below: 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. APPLICANT COMMENTS: Silver Lake Auto’s operations are strictly a professional setting. Since we are a logistical office, we will comply and never endanger any general welfare. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. The property is designed for office uses like Silver Lake Auto, and no part of the proposed business should be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the community. Other than a new sign on the building, staff suspects the business will largely go unnoticed. 2. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. APPLICANT COMMENTS: Silver Lake Auto will maintain a clean and professional office. We will be running a quiet operation. Other offices won’t even notice us as renters on the property. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. The proposed use is consistent with other uses on site and no aspect of the use suggests it will impair area property values. 3. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. APPLICANT COMMENTS: Silver Lake Auto is a logistical office. We will not impede any situation concerning the district. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. Silver Lake Auto will have no impact on the use or leasing of other suites in the building, and will not impact the uses on adjacent property.
