13. All driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. Background/Discussion Case Number CU 21-14 The property is 4.89 acres and zoned R1a single family residential where home occupations occurring in accessory structures require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to operate a commercial auto repair business out of their detached accessory structure. Approximately half of the subject parcel is wetland, and a large electrical line/easement runs through the center of the parcel. West of the parcel is a 9.13-acre undeveloped parcel which is mostly wetlands. The remaining adjacent parcels are all developed as single-family residential properties ranging in size from 2.5 to 6.74 acres. An existing privacy fence and large trees block most of the public view from the road. A house about 700 feet to the west, across the wetland, may have sight lines to the subject area. Planning Commission Meeting During the public hearing, two residents spoke and questioned the number of cars stored outside, signage, noise, chemicals, drainage, fire suppression, and CUP duration. The applicant indicated he will be utilizing approved containers from a company that will hold the used oil and used coolant and wants to do everything the correct way to avoid harming the environment because he lives there also. It was clarified the use will need to comply with city noise ordinances, the building will need to meet commercial code standards, vehicles being worked on would need to remain in the fenced area, applicant would be required to follow PCA standards, and an approved CUP stays with the property, not with the landowner. Since the meeting, the applicant indicated he wishes to have the curb and gutter condition removed indicating if he is not allowed to work outside, there is no concern of contaminated runoff. The hours of operation were discussed and want to add a condition stating the hours of operation shall be Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Planning Commission unanimously recommend approval of the request adding an additional condition outlining hours of operation.
