Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The owner of Color Mystique Auto Body and Detailing is requesting a conditional use permit in order to have indoor auto sales at his location at 9999 Goodhue Street NE. The applicant operates from approximately 5200 square feet in a 59,000 square foot multi-tenant industrial building. He has the opportunity to purchase vehicles from dealers, and on occasion private owners, that bring cars in for repairs at the business. When the repairs on these cars are more than the owner would like to spend, Color Mystique will buy the vehicles and resell them when the repairs have been made. This requires that the applicant receive a dealer's license from the State of Minnesota.
The applicant understands that there should be no cars stored outside or be placed for sale outside on the premises at any time. Since all cars would be parked inside, there is no need for any additional parking or screening on this site.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
