<br />City Council / CU 06-01 <br />February 21,2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />On December 19,2005 the City Council denied a Conditional Use Permit request for this <br />site. In order to assist the applicant, the City Council suggested that the applicant apply for <br />an Interim Use Permit. The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit for a period of <br />three years. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />The details of the initial request have not changed, just that it is being asked for a period of <br />three years. The applicant will be utilizing the property as a retail meeting place to sell autos <br />to pre-existing and new customers. Sales will specialize in late model, low mile, used cars <br />and classic cars of the 50's through the 70's. <br /> <br />Although there will be limited late model used vehicles on site (no more than six), the <br />applicant will draw the majority of his customers to the business from newspaper advertising <br />and a fully furnished Internet web page. The types of cars being sold are not ideally suited <br />for outside display due to their value and rarity. Therefore they will be stored in an off site <br />indoor storage facility and transported to the lot by appointment only. The applicant will be <br />utilizing the building for an indoor show room also. Any modifications to the building will <br />require a building permit. <br /> <br />The vehicles will be delivered to the site under their own power and will not be brought in <br />on a tractor trailer semi. <br /> <br />As there will be limited late model used vehicles on site, the display area will not exceed <br />more than six vehicles at one time. The display area for the vehicles is proposed to be <br />directly across the drive lane from the front entrance. <br /> <br />The number of employees will be one, the applicant. <br /> <br />The hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by appointment and <br />Saturdays and weekday evenings by appointment only. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending that advertising on the vehicles shall be limited to one sign per <br />vehicle not exceeding 94 square inches. The applicant has provided examples of what he <br />would like to use to advertise the vehicles. <br /> <br />The property owner has signed the application for this request. <br /> <br />Parking and Circulation <br /> <br />The parking and circulation is established and will not be affected. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2006\CUP\CU 06-01 Matthews Interim\CU 06-01_CC.doc <br />
