The <br /> conditions for approval include: No overnight outside storage of vehicles, facility doors must be closed at <br /> all times, and noise levels shall not exceed city ordinances. <br /> This spring, staff received numerous resident complaints about the operation and their noncompliance <br /> with city code. Specific concerns include facility noise resulting from the open dyno facility garage door <br /> and outside vehicle storage. The complaints note that tested vehicles are operated at high RPM without <br /> exhaust systems. Additionally, vehicles are driven on a residential street (Yale Street) behind the facility. <br /> The city sent two letters, dated March 26, 2015, and April 22, 2015, to the facility owner noting the <br /> specific CUP violations observed and stating operations must be amended. Staff spoke with the owner in <br /> early April and was informed that a new technician was hired and he was not as familiar with the <br /> requirements. Staff was told that the operation would comply with the permit. Since then, the city has <br /> received additional complaints noting that changes were not made. The owner has also been informed <br /> about a number of additional code compliance issues identified on the site. <br /> City ordinance outlines the CUP revocation process which includes a determination of noncompliance <br /> and a public hearing. Staff has determined a repeated failure to comply with the CUP and seeks support <br /> for a public hearing to discuss revoking the permit if warranted. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> • Staff letter dated March 26, 2015 <br /> • Staff letter dated April 22, 2015 <br /> • Recorded Conditional Use Permit <br /> • Code violation letter dated April 29, 2015 <br /> • City Code Section 30-659, Revocation <br /> p 0 W I R E a 0 <br /> NA UREJ <br />
