Analysis Comprehensive Plan The underlying land use of the property is FAST – Office Village. Any redevelopment within this district would likely not occur until major transportation patterns change. The redevelopment would occur within the boundary of the existing road network and natural gas line. Generally, larger office/office showroom uses would exist along Highway 10/169 taking advantage of visibility and the relatively flat topography. Smaller, flexible office uses would locate along Ulysses Street (the subject site) where topography and the natural gas line pose challenges for larger building footprints. At the center of this district are strong roadway connections linking adjacent districts to the north and south. The proposed is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Transportation/Circulation Access to and from the site will occur at the one existing access on Ulysses Street. There is sufficient on- site circulation for the business, customers, and emergency vehicles. Parking The building is 10,000 square feet in size with the applicant utilizing approximately 4,200 square feet of the overall space. The city ordinance states: Auto sales, trailer sales, marine and boat sales, implement sales, garden supply store, or building materials sales: one parking space for each 500 square feet of floor area. Open sales or rental lots shall also provide one parking space for each 5,000 square feet of land which is to be used for sales and display area. It also states: Office building: one parking space for each 300 square feet of floor area. The floor area of the subject auto sales office space is approximately 1,500 square feet requiring 5 parking stalls. The floor area of the subject auto sales detailing and show room is approximately 2,700 square feet requiring five parking stalls. The sale and rental lot area is 5,000 square feet requiring one stall. The city required parking stalls for the proposed business is 11. Furthermore, the state requires display area for a minimum of five vehicles per dealer. The applicant is proposing one dealer which would result in an additional five vehicle display stalls on site. The total number of parking and display stalls required by the city and state is 16. There are approximately 20 stalls available in the site area indicated on the parking plan. Landscaping The ordinance requires 33 trees for the property. The exiting tree inventory satisfies this requirement. Environmental Potential for environmental concerns related to pollution if paint, chemicals, or other hazardous materials are not maintained properly on site. Stormwater pond to the west could potentially be polluted as well. The applicant and/or property owner shall ensure vehicles stored on the parking lot do not leak fuels or other hazardous materials into the stormwater pond to the west of the parking lot.
