Memo to Planning Commission Page 2 May 23, 1995 • OVERVIEW The plans that were originally approved last year are not changing substantially. However, Kennedy Transmission's proposed use of approximately 3,500 square feet was not included in the original conditional use permit, and therefore is required to obtain a new conditional use permit to operate an auto repair facility. The proposed tenant for the building (Kennedy Transmission) will require some slight modifications to the original building plans by including the required number of overhead doors for the business. The applicant has also indicated the balance of the building, approximately 2,100 square feet, will be used by a chiropractor's office. ANALYSIS As mentioned above, a majority of the exterior improvements such as landscaping and parking, have been approved and will be installed in accordance to the previously approved plans. In continuation of the screening that has been installed behind the existing automotive repair, businesses will continue to the south and provide a similar screen on the west side of the proposed building. With the screening issue being resolved on the west side of the building, the only outstanding concerns relate to the 1111 specific businesses operation, and once again parking. As far as the specific businesses operation, similar conditions that were attached to the original automotive repair businesses should probably be included on this application. These will be highlighted in staff's recommendation.

As the Planning Commission may recall, parking was a concern with the original plans for this commercial development. Staff has been monitoring the parking situation at the existing three auto repair businesses. Staff originally presented two concerns to the Planning Commission and City Council regarding the parking issue. 1. An inadequate total number of available stalls based on the intended use. 2. The location of stalls in relation to the businesses and their convenience for use by customers. Although the businesses have not been operating for a great length of time, a general observation is that the north end of the site (where Tires Plus and J.R. Tech are • located) is receiving the greatest amount of parking demands. The concern for convenient parking in close proximity to those businesses, may in fact be an eventual problem. Immediately south of ABRA Auto Body, there are eighteen stalls that s:planning:pc:cu95-06
