Public Hearing - Case No. CD 04-42 Ms. McPherson presented the staff report by Planner Chris Leeseberg for a request by William Matthews to operate an auto sales business at 950 Highway 10 (Martin Plaza property). She noted that sales will specialize in late model, low mileage used cars and classic cars of the 50's through the 70's. Ms. McPherson explained that the site will primarily be used as a retail meeting space to sell autos and most of the vehicles will be stored off site. A limited number of late model used vehicles will be displayed on the site, not to exceed more 10 vehicles at one time. She reviewed the site plan, parking, number of employees (1), hours of operation and signage. Staff recommends approval of the request with the five conditions listed in the staff report. Commissioner Stevens asked if any cars would be on the site overnight. Ms. McPherson stated that the late model vehicles would be displayed on the site until they were sold, and the classic cars would be stored in an off site indoor storage facility and transported to the lot by appointment only. Commissioner Offerman asked what types of uses are at the site now. Ms. McPherson stated that the site has a mixture of small retail, office and personal service establishments and that this would be a new use. Commissioner Stevens stated that he has observed vehicles parked there overnight. Ms. McPherson stated that staff will inspect the site for possible code violation.
