Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant, Family Auto Care, is applying for a conditional use permit to open an automotive repair shop at 9245 Baltimore Street NE. The business will occupy an approximately 11,000 square foot building. The applicant will be expanding his business and opening this location in addition to his existing Family Auto Care located on 91st Avenue, south of this proposed location. The zoning of the property in which the building is located is I-1 (Light Industrial).
Automotive repair shops are listed as a conditional use within the I-1 zoning district under passenger vehicle service. The applicant states that business activities will be limited to general automotive repairs such as transmission work; no auto body or auto glass work shall be performed. Serviced vehicles will be stored in the rear of the building or within the building at all times. A condition of the CUP requires that all serviced vehicles be stored within the rear parking area. This area is required to be fenced so that the storage of vehicles is screened with 100 percent opaqueness.
The building is already equipped with an automatic fire suppression system and therefore is not an added requirement with this CUP.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
