CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - AUTO REPAIR
PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT N0: CUP87-27 OCTOBER 20 , 1987
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on an
application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a
building for auto repair.
BACKGROUND•
Name of Applicant: Dale Feste
Address of Property: 630 11th Avenue South
Present Zoning: I-1
Nature of Request : Ordinanee requires a
Conditional Use Permit for construction of
$75 ,000 and for a sign with a lesser setbaek.
—� Reason for Request: To construct an auto
repair facility.
The applicant is proposing to construct a five bay auto
service facility. The applicant currently has a
facility at 18th Avenue North & Mainstreet. This site
will remain . The applicant is also requesting front
and side yard setback variances .
An auto repair facility is a permitted use in an I-1
district .
The following is a list comparing the I-1 requirements
to the proposed site plan:
I-1 Proposed
Lot Size 10 ,000 sq. ft . 13 ,000 sq. ft .
Lot Width 100 ft . 100 ft .
Lot Depth 100 ft. 130 ft .
Front Setback 20 ft . 14 ft .
Sideyard ( N) 20 ft . 10 ft .
(S) 20 ft . 20 ft .
Rear yard 12 ft . 20 ft .
FAR .60 .28
-� Parking 14 (new Ord . ) 15
Parking will be to the southern part of the site.
No.
2
--�
ANALYSIS: The building will be oriented with the garage
doors facing south and the office area facing 11th
Avenue . The office area is two stories . The building
will have an office look from 11th Avenue .
The office section will have an exterior of pre-
finished metal , brick veneer, and insulated windows
with pre-finished aluminum frame . The garage area will
have an exterior of painted decorative concrete block .
A pre-finished metal strip will continue above all the
overhead doors . The applicant was undecided about the
color for the metal strip . The brick used will
compliment the existing surrounding buildings .
The Director of Engineering has revieWed the plans and
Found them acceptable . The site will have surface
drainage . The site is near the flood plain to the
north.
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and found them
acceptable . He noted that the building will have to be
sprinkled .
The site is surrounded by an empty lot to the south ,
"� industrial building to the north and west , and Nine
Mile Creek to the east .
The proposed sign is in the front yard setback . The
applicant as part of this Conditional Use Permit is
requesting to have the sign one foot from the property
line . The staff has reviewed this request and
recommends approval of the one foot setback .
The applicant feels that the sign should be placed here
because more of the buildings in the area are not
setback 20 feet .
Access to the site will be from 11th Avenue . There is
an alley behind the site which can be used for access .
This alley is not improved and dead-ends north of the
site .
The site will be landscaped with a variety of
plantings . The site is required to have 9 plantings .
The site plan shows more than the required amount .
The trash container is located to the rear of the site .
Access will be from the alley.
� The ordinance allows a zero setback for a side yard if
the abutting owner of the building agrees . The
3
---�
applicant is contacting the property owner to the
north . The existing building to the north is on the
property line .
The applicant has tried to make his building more
appealing by orienting the service area to the rear of
the lot . The building will have an "office look" from
11th Avenue . The applicant does not have the required
hardship for the building to be constructed as
proposed . The building could be reduced in size and
still have a workable building.
The staff has met with the applicant and advised him
that the variances would not receive staff
recommendations for approval . The applicant has
proposed to move the building to the property line on
the north. The ordinance allows a zero setback in an
industrial district for a side yard if both property
owners agree . The applicant Would not need any
variance and still give him enough workable area .
ALTERNATIVES•
1 . Approve the plan as submitted. With this
alternative the Commission Would then be
" granting the two variances .
2 . Continue and have the applicant provide a new
site plan with a zero northerly sideyard
setback and a 20 foot front yard .
3 . Deny the Conditional Use Permit . The
applicant could apply again with a new site
plan.
4 . Approve subject to the applicant moving the
building north 10 feet and remove the small
addition in the front . No variances would be
granted .
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Alternative No . 4 . The
following are suggested Findings of Faet and Conditions
should the Commission recommend approval :
1 . That an auto repair facility is a permitted
use in an I-1 District .
2 . That the proposed plan with changes will meet
the requirements for an I-1 District .
� 3 . That the proposed plan meets the requirements
for a Conditional Use Permit .
