including expansion of the car dealership building, expansion of the parking lots, and construction of the car wash building. The plat has not been recorded, and in 2011, the plat expired. In November 2012, the applicant received approval of a new plat (identical to the expired plat of Jabez), a conditional use permit for an addition to the main dealership showroom, and a variance for additional signage. A condition was placed on the conditional use permit approval that the property be platted prior to receiving a building permit. A similar condition is recommended for the conversion of the oil change facility. The 2006 (and 2012) Plat of Jabez combined seven lots into one buildable lot and two outlots. The car dealership and accessory car wash building were proposed to be located on the buildable lot. Expansion of the car dealership was initiated in 2006. In 2007, the city granted a building permit for the car wash building with the belief that recording the plat was forthcoming. The lot of the car wash building is non - conforming as it does not have the required street frontage. Board of Adjustment comment The board discussed the variance application at their January 8, 2013, meeting. The board voted 5 -1 to deny the application. Johnson voted nay, and Bell was absent. The board deemed that standards for granting a variance were not satisfied, and noted that the issue was not whether signage was allowed on the building, but rather whether 484 square feet of signage was appropriate and allowable. Based on Board of Adjustment action, staff prepared a draft finding of fact resolution for denial. If the Council desires to grant the variance, they may disregard the resolution. Public comment Other than those from the applicant, no other comments have been received.
