Case #2: R~quest for a Temporary Conditional Use Permit for an Auto R~pair/Towing Service/New Parts Sales Facility at 14600 Nowthen BOulevard N.W. (PIN 25-32-25-23-0006); Case of Fred Dinnetz of ATH, Inco Zoning Adm~istrator Frolik stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public heating on Al~fil 6, 1992. At that time, Mr. Greg Isaacson, Attorney for Mr. Dinnetz, announced that Mr. Dinpstz Was requesting to modify his application to a temporary conditional use permit not to exceed lStnonths. This would allow sufficient time to find a more appropriate location and funding. The modification was in response to Staff's concern that the proposed use is not "generally aompittible with the area". The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and amended th6p~roposed findings of fact and voted three to two to recommend that City Council deny the applicatffm for a temporary conditional use permit. Ms. Frolik stated she will refer to this request as att interim use permit rather than a conditional use permit as it is given for a specified time frame, l~s. Frolik stated that in January, City Council did not discourage Mr. Dinnetz from applying for a conditional use permit to have an auto repair facility at this location and since that time Mr. Dittrtetzlhas put forth a good faith effort and invested in a professionally drawn site plan and initiated ~le~-up efforts. She added that Mr. Dinnetz also displayed a cooperative nature by amending his application to an interim use permit when he learned of City Staff's concern that the proposed usa did not fit the criteria of being "generally compatible with the area". She recommended that City Council grant an interim permit that would expire in 12 months or when Mr. Dinnetz ceases to occupy the property, whichever comes first. The Council proceeded to review the findings of fact. Motion by C,o~neilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to amend #11 to read "That the groposed use will not adversely impact traffic in the area". Motion carded.
