property will become compliant in a reasonable timeframe. Upon approval, this CUP shall be recorded by April 15, 2024, or the city may begin the revocation process. Background/Discussion The property was rezoned to Highway Commercial eight years ago and received two Conditional Use Permits (CUPs), one in 2016 and another in 2019. Neither CUP has been recorded with the county as the property owner has received several extensions to continue finalizing the project. A condition of approval for CU 19-14 was the 1,500 square foot office/house structure shall be removed by October 21, 2021. To date, this has not occurred. The applicant is requesting an amendment to their existing CUP (CU 19-14) to allow the office/house structure to remain utilized as an office. The structure has already been converted into office space and the applicant will need to obtain the proper commercial building permits for that work. Other than the addition of the office building, nothing else will be changing from what was previously reviewed and approved. The property is zoned Highway Commercial (C3) where auto body repair requires a CUP. The property is bound by US Highway 169 on the west with a commercial concrete business across the highway, two properties the applicant owns to the south, and ERX Motor Park, an off -road racing facility, to the east and north. The property contains a pole building at —2,300 sq. ft., an office/house structure at —1,500 sq. ft., and a pole building at — 10,400 sq. ft. Analysis Comprehensive Plan The Gravel Mining Area Land Use, Transportation, and Utility Plan guide the properties for Highway Business uses where commercial uses are allowed and encouraged. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Access/Parking Access to the site is off US Highway 169 in the northwest corner of the site. The parking requirement for the proposed office is one stall for every 300 square feet of area. The building is 1,500 square feet in size, requiring 5 stalls. For auto repair, it is also one stall for every 300 square feet of area. The two buildings are 12,700 square feet in size, requiring 53 stalls. The submitted plan shows 45 parking stalls but there is enough area for proof of parking. Section 30-901 states all driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. Utilities The septic system for the 10,400 sq.ft. building approved with CU 19-14 meets compliance for the commercial activities. With the change of use of the house to an office, a certificate of compliance may be required, which would require documentation from a licensed designer that the current septic system meets the design requirements of the septic code for "other establishments". Grading/Drainage All areas of impervious surface must be treated. The applicant shall submit, as needed, calculations and designs of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP's) for the property as-builts. Applicable Regulations 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.
