Background
Staff Report Prepared by Shawn Kaye
The applicant has requested the approval of a conditional use permit that would allow them to operate an indoor vehicle sales showroom. As shown on the floor plan provided, Right Buy Auto would occupy the building located at 9125 Isanti Street NE.
The building in which they will operate is approximately 5,000 square feet. The business will conduct all sales within the building as there will be no outside storage or display of vehicles. The attached floor plan identifies approximately 30 vehicles being stored inside the building.
The building currently has an automatic fire suppression system therefore that issue is not listed as a recommended condition.
Please note that, given the simple nature of this request, staff has opted to bring this item forward to the city council for a public hearing rather than the planning commission. The applicant is not required to make any improvements on site and this change in schedule allows him to occupy the space sooner. All public notification procedures were followed.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
