In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. Anal is The applicant desires to use the property to sell boats. The sign indicates that RV and power sports would be available for sale, as well. The use is consistent with the current zoning ordinance (with a Conditional Use Permit), although the property is among those subject to the 1715` FAST moratorium, the purpose of which is to promote uses that enhance property values in the area and maximize the benefit of the train station. Because the FAST plan is not yet adopted, the following comments are based on the existing ordinance: Parking., The ordinance requires parking, using a ratio of 2/1,000 square feet of building area, and 1/5,000 square feet of outdoor display area. Based on this, the site plan should provide 26 spaces. The site plan suggested by staff provides 24 spaces in the front of the building, which is more than the 17 suggested by the applicant. Staff is comfortable with the reduction of spaces, as the goals of the ordinance are met with the provision of islands and landscaping. If parking becomes an issue as identified by staff, additional spaces for employees may be located within the fence. The parking area should be repaired and re-striped. The rear display area should utilize an approved surface, Class V, concrete, or asphalt. Landscaping. The site currently includes no formal landscaping. Typically in such situations, it is suggested that landscaping be added, in scale with the reuse or redevelopment. The site perimeter would require 34 trees. Staff has suggested 4 trees in the front island areas. Additional landscaping beds should be added along the building. Seven overstory trees should be added along the west property line (1 tree per 40 feet), on the west side of the access drive. All landscaping should be approved by staff.
