Special Use Permit Review
Proposed Use
City Code Chapter 155.34, Section C.1 identifies retail and service establishments as “Uses by
Special Permit” within the I-1 Industrial Park Zoning District.
The applicant is proposing to use the existing site for retail autobody repair and as a training
center for autobody technicians. The applicant proposes minor interior remodeling as needed.
Screening of Exterior Storage
The zoning code requires that any stored materials must be screened from view in the
Industrial park. Inoperable, unlicensed, and damaged vehicles have not been allowed to be
parked outdoors on similar SUP requests. The applicant understands this proposed condition.
Analysis
The site layout is designed well for the proposed use and it is situated well. The proposed use
will not create higher volumes of traffic than other area uses.
Notification
Notice was published and sent to property owners within 350-feet of the subject property. No
comments have been received.
