Summary:
This is a request for a special use permit for motor vehicle sales, leasing, and rental at 1501 E. Santa Fe. The site is currently developed and has previously operated as a car dealership for Country Hill Motors, which was a permitted use in the C-3 District at the time the building was constructed. Car City is now seeking to operate at this location which now requires a Special Use Permit for this district under the current UDO.
The applicant will utilize the existing building with the addition of new paint and needed minor repairs. The parking lot will be paved with new asphalt and striping. Additional site improvements include landscaping, screening of building and ground-mounted utilities and privacy fencing.
A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on April 26, 2021. No individuals from the public spoke regarding this petition and the Planning Commission recommended approval 8-0, for a 5-year time limit with stipulations as stated in the Planning Commission packet.
