The parking lot/driveway setback variance (V 24-04) shall be approved. <br />2. The use of hazardous materials such as oils, lubricants, chemicals, and solvents shall be handled in <br />accordance with all state standards. <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to construct a Motor Vehicle Specialty Service <br />Station (retail tire service station) at 17994 Zane Street. The project includes construction of a 10,599 sq.ft. <br />retail and service center building with a retail showroom, pull-through service canopy, and tire warehouse. In <br />addition to tire sales and service, other automotive parts like tire rims and accessories will also be for sale at <br />this location. The service center will also service brakes, provide alignments, oil changes, and other minor <br />vehicle maintenance and repair. <br /> <br />The project will generate 10-18 new jobs and will be open six days a week, 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and closed <br />on Sundays. <br /> <br />The building design and materials (textured and stained precast concrete panels) meet the design guidelines <br />for the Highway Commercial zoning district. <br /> <br />Variances <br />While the number of parking stalls meets the ordinance requirements, the driveway is too close to the <br />property line and the applicant has applied for a setback variance. (V 24-04) The variance will need to be <br />approved before the CUP can be recorded. <br /> <br />The applicant has also applied for a variance (V 24-04) for the required number of trees. The approval of this <br />CUP is not dependent on approval of landscaping variance. <br /> <br />Page 54 of 71
