CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - AUTO MALL
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: That the anplication to amend
the ori�inal Conditional Use Permit to allow the existin� outside
storaAe is denied.
Denial of this motion will make the Auto Mall remove the fenced tire
storage area.
The Zoning and Planning Commission unanimously approved the
eonstruetion of a briek tire storage building with conditions .
.OvervieW.
When the Auto Mall was approved on February 3 , 1987 , one of the
conditions of the Conditional Use Permit was that there was to be only
inside storage of all materials maintained. During the construetion
of the Auto Mall a feneed tire storage area was constructed behind the
Tire Plus store. The staff informed the Auto Mall that this was a
violation of their Conditional Use Permit. They have applied to have
their Conditional Use Permit amended to allow outside storage.
'_ Jeff Sweet , representing the Auto Mall , appeared before . the
Commission. He stated they were willing to construet a brick
enclosure for the tire storage. � However, the Auto Mall wants to
construet the brick enclosure on a floating slab and not use footings .
I consulted with the Building Inspector following the meeting. He
stated that the Building Code requires the addition to have footings.
Issues to Consider.
o Should the Auto Mall have outside storage?
o Is there another alternative to outside storage?
o Does Tires Plus need an additional tire storage area?
o Is a fenced storage area acceptable to screen outside
. storage?

Detailed Background .
The Auto Mall constructed an outside storage area in violation of
their Conditional Use Permit . Since the construction of the fenced
tire storage area , the staff and the Auto Mall have been trying to
solve the tire storage problem.
The following are the alternatives the Auto Mall has:
- 1 . Remove the feneed storage area.
2 . Apply to amend their Conditional Use Permit
3 • Construct a brick addition to the building for storage of
the tires .
The Auto Mall has decided to apply to amend their Conditional Use
Permit and allow the fenced tire storage area to remain .
Analysis .
Jeff Sweet , representing the Auto Mall , has stated that because the
tenant changed from Firestone to Tires Plus , there is a greater need
for tire storage . Firestone did not have the large volume of used
^ tires because their business involves car repair activities other than
installing new tires .
As this area is one of the ma3or entrances into the City the staff
felt that any redevelopment on this site must set a high standard for
future development in this area.
When the Auto Mall was being proposed it was presented as a high
quality building , not the typical auto repair type building . After a
substantial number of ineetings and diseussions , it was finally
approved based on this agreement . The fenced tire storage area
detracts from the whole building. The tire storage area is clearly
visible from the street .
It seems that the concerns of the City and the applicants can be
accomplished with a small brick addition to the back of the Tires Plus
store . If a brick storage area was eonstructed with a roof, it would
appear as part of the existing building.
Since the fenced storage area was constructed there have been a few
times when the tires have actually exceeded the height of the fence .

Alternatives .
1 . Allow the existing fenced tire storage area to remain.
This alternative will allow outside storage at the Auto
Mall .
2 . Allow no outside storage as the existing Conditional Use
Permit states . This alternative will make the Auto Mall
remove the existing fenced area.
3 • Approve construction of a covered brick addition for
storage of the tires . This alternative will allow the
Auto Mall to construct an area for the tires that
compliments the existing building .
4 . Continue for further information . If the Commission
feels that further information is needed , this item
should be continued .

Detailed Background .
The Auto Mall constructed an outside storage area in violation of
their Conditional Use Permit . Since the eonstruction of the feneed
tire storage area, the staff and the Auto Mall have been trying to
solve the tire storage problem.
The following are the alternatives the Auto Mall has:
1 . Remove the fenced storage area.
2 . Apply to amend their Conditional Use Permit
3 . Construct a brick addition to the building for storage of
the tires .
The Auto Mall has decided to apply to amend their Conditional Use
Permit and allow the fenced tire storage area to remain.

Jeff Sweet , representing the Auto Mall , has stated that because the
tenant changed from Firestone to Tires Plus , there is a greater need
for tire storage. Firestone did not have the large volume of used
tires because their business involves car repair activities other than
^ installing new tires .
