Background Information: The subject property is owned by Hastings Property LLC, an entity affiliated with Industrial Battery Products, Inc., which currently utilizes the warehouse space. The applicant seeks approval to lease the front office and showroom area for the operation of a boat dealership franchise,representing a specific boat manufacturer. SUP Review The Zoning Code permits industrial uses by right within the I-1,Industrial Park District and allows retail sales and services with a Special Use Permit (SUP). The purpose of the SUP review is to ensure that a proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area. Conditions may be attached to an SUP approval to further assure compatibility. Traffic, parking, deliveries, and related activities associated with a boat dealership are similar to those generated by other retail, service, and industrial uses permitted in the district. The proposal includes an outdoor yard for the storage of new and used boats. A privacy fence is required to screen products and materials from view of public streets and adjacent properties, consistent with Industrial Park standards. Vehicular Access and Circulation The parking lot and entrances are pre-existing and appear to function well. A boat storage area is proposed on the west side of the building that aligns with the west entrance. The storage area is required to be paved with curb and gutter. The 2002 approved site plan identified the area west of the building for possible building or parking lot expansion in the future. Planning Commission Memorandum X-C-01 Parking The building was constructed as a retail and warehouse use, which had a higher parking requirement. The boat dealership requires 18 spaces, and the warehouse requires 14 for a total of 32 spaces. There are currently 47 parking spaces on the site.An overhead door for boat service is currently proposed on the east side of the building, which would eliminate four to five of the extra parking spaces. Notification Property owners within 350’ were notified of the SUP. No comments have been received.
