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 has requested the approval of a Conditional Use Permit that would allow them to operate an indoor vehicle sales showroom in the same building that is currently occupied by Family Auto Care.  As shown on the floor plan provided, Family Auto Care would occupy 2/3 of the existing building, and Metro Auto Sales would occupy the vacant bay (1/3 of the building) on the south half of the building.
 
The area in which Metro Auto Sales will operate is approximately 3,666 square feet.  The business will conduct all sales within the building as there will be no outside storage or display of vehicles.  
The building currently has an automatic fire suppression system therefore that issue is not listed as a recommended condition.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
