Landscaping The ordinance requires 33 trees for the property. The exiting tree inventory satisfies this requirement. Environmental There is the 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. Dumpster/Damaged Vehicle Storage A 30’ x 30’ damaged vehicle storage area is proposed. Staff recommends this be screened with a six-foot-tall 100% opaque fence and be paved with an approved surface (asphalt, concrete, pavers, class-5). This storage area shall meet setback requirements. The FAST district does not regulate trash enclosures yet through the CUP process; conditions can be applied as the city deems necessary. Staff recommends that the dumpster be screened with the same material as the damaged vehicle storage area. Applicable Regulation In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the Council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The proposed car dealership is the same as other businesses in the area and is compatible with the other industrial businesses. The building shall provide all proper exhaust and venting as required by the building code. Exterior doors shall be closed while any motor vehicle repair or finishing occurs. Paints, chemicals, or other hazardous materials shall be handled and disposed of in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). 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. With these measures, the proposed motor vehicle repair shop should not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. 2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The underlying land use of the property is Highway Business. The highway business category primarily consists of a mix of auto-oriented retail and service businesses, restaurants, and community and regional- scale shopping centers. Highway business uses are located along Highway 169 and Highway 10 and have high visibility from these corridors. 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.
