Background
The applicant occupies a building and operates an auto repair business at 10705 University Avenue NE. The site is zoned B-2 (Community Commercial). The applicant would like to have a dealer’s license, and for the City to allow this license to be issued by the state, a conditional use permit must be granted for an indoor vehicle showroom. The indoor auto sales will allow the business to sell current loaner vehicles with warranties. The vehicles have been inspected and repaired at the auto repair shop.
The applicant has stated that he intends to sell vehicles from time to time but will not have any vehicles for sale outdoors on site. Because the conditional use permit is for an indoor showroom, the City does not allow any cars to be for sale outside on the premises.
The building is approximately 7,600 square feet. The floor plan indicates plenty of room to store vehicles inside if necessary.
The site itself meets ordinance requirements for landscaping and parking. The applicant will need to obtain a certificate of occupancy and meet all building and fire code requirements.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
