Home My WebLink About2425-PDATE: October 19, 2020 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow used car sales in a NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District, MIX: 2425-P STAFF REPORT Munro Properties is would like to use their property at the southeast corner of Delaware Street and Briarcliff Drive for used car sales. Persons wishing to sell a vehicles will commission with Munro Properties to park their vehicle on the lot and will deal with prospective customers themselves. No structures will be built on the property. While the proposed use may cause negative impacts to the neighboring residential properties, the site is located on Delaware, a major arterial street. However, Engineering has raised several issues concerning the design and layout of the parking lot. The northermnost space in the southeast parking cluster will need to be removed in order to provide access to the eastern most spaces facing Delaware Street. Pavement markings will not be adequate due to the grass/gravel surface, therefore wheel -stops will need to be installed to designate the parking spaces and prevent parked vehicles from overhanging the property line. Cars being test driven would most likely turn south into the residential neighborhood. This would increase traffic and pose a potential danger to pedestrian traffic and children at play. A sign should be placed at the exit of the property restricting departing traffic to a right turn only, protecting the adjacent neighborhood. The two (2) southernmost parking spaces will need to be removed to accommodate the required ten (10) foot wide landscaped buffer with trees. All landscaping must meet and be maintained to ordinance requirements. In addition, an eight (8) foot tall, wood or masonry fence must be installed and maintained along the south property line. The proposed parking lot is to be grass or gravel, this fence would aid in shielding residential properties to the south from dust due to this unpaved parking lot. Directional lighting should be installed as well, to protect the neighboring residential properties, Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Place wheel stops to designate parking spaces and remove the northernmost space in the southeast parking cluster and the two (2) southernmost spaces, and install a "No Left Turn" sign at the exit of the property. 2. Install eight (8) foot wood or masonry fence and ten (10) foot wide landscaped strip along south property line to greet landscaping ordinance requirements. 3. Install shielded directional security lighting only. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and .acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
