Planning Commission Other than the applicant, no one spoke for or against the request and staff has not received anyT comments since the commission meeting. The applicant stated he owns Sales Ramp LLC, also operating within the same building, and is requesting this CUP to support his online auto part business, E&Y Auto Parts. He indicated a third tenant's lease within suite B will expire in one year and Class C Components (industrial hardware) within suite C plan to expand into that space. The applicant does not believe parking will be of concern as the uses will not generate the expected parking demand. The commission recommended that curb and gutter be installed on all driving and parking areas as �vell as around the outdoor storage area. The commission also asked staff about the Copart salvage �Tard, across Jarvis Street, and what the standaYds that were applied to their business. CopaYt was Yequired to install a 100% opaque 8-foot-tall fence along Jarvis Street and foY 500 feet along the Yailroad with the Yemaining 100% opaque perimeteY fencing not being less than six feet Copart `vas not required to put in both screening and curb/gutter. Staff recommend that the condition of curb/gutter around the outdoor storage area be removed as the fencing �uill screen and contain the proposed storage area. The Commission had general questions on parking and staff noted that parking is based on the square footage of uses. Conditional Use PeYmits stayr with the property; not the business, and while paYking needs today may be met, future businesses' needs ma�T not. While the Commission had no issue with the vacant lot being utilized, they wanted a proof of parking e�ibit demonstrating that the propertyT the building and proposed operations are located on can support all the required parking for the current, proposed, and future uses. An alternative to proof of parking could also be a requirement to combine the two parcels, creating ample parking space for the current and future uses. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with the conditions listed above. Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff spoke with the propernT o`vner regarding an advertisement for parking spaces allowing people to store cars and/or trucks. This use has not been permitted and the applicant has since Yemoved that adveYtisement. As the applicant has applied for their CUP after beginning operation, which is not uncommon, staff recommends a deadline for compliance with the conditions to ensure the requirements of the CUP are completed in a timel�T manner. CUPs issued prior to the start of business operations have two years to substantiall�r complete all Yequirements before a business can opeYate on the pYopeYtyr.
