Review File: John Buzick CUP Request February 28, 2014; Revised March 21, 2014 Page 2 of 3 parking stalls. Therefore, the available parking for the proposed use is limited to thirty-three (33) stalls. The applicant has stated that the dealers are generally on site only a few times per week thus the applicant is proposing to provide one (1) space per tenant, one (1) space per customer and three (3) spaces for vehicle display for a total of five (5) spaces per tenant. Staff is recommending a condition that the spaces for vehicle display be designated furthest from the office entry and the entry for the existing chiropractor use. There are only thirty-three (33) available stalls for the proposed use, thus two (2) of the seven (7) initial motor vehicle sales tenants will need to be limited to a maximum of two (2) vehicle display spaces. The adjacent property at 7820 Riverdale Drive NW, which is also owned by the applicant, is operating a similar facility. The intent is to mirror this use and ultimately expand the surface parking on the adjacent lot (7820 Riverdale Drive NW) to accommodate for future tenants on the Subject Property. At this time, however, the green space between the two (2) buildings is where the septic system and the alternative location for the septic system are located. This expansion of the parking, as shown on the future parking exhibit, cannot occur until such time that 7820 Riverdale Drive NW connects to sanitary sewer, which would be available when the Riverdale Drive extension project is completed. Expansion of the parking area represents an expansion of a conditional use and thus will require an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit for 7820 Riverdale Dr NW. Additionally, expanding surface parking will also require paving and grading plans, which will be subject to review and approval by the City prior to any work commencing. Should the improvements disturb more than one (1) acre of land, it will also require a Water Management Organization permit as well. Finally, a Cross Access Easement and Shared Parking Agreement will also need to be executed to document and specifically allocate parking stalls for both parcels. These documents shall be subject to review and approval by the City and the applicant will be responsible for recording them against each property. As parking is limited for the Subject Property, the Conditional Use Permit will specify that no more than seven (7) motor vehicle sales offices may be operated on the Subject Property until such time additional parking is available. However, Staff has revised the proposed Conditional Use Permit such that establishment of additional motor vehicle sales offices is simply contingent upon availability of parking spaces, with each additional office needing access to five (5) dedicated parking spaces (thus, if additional parking can be added to the Subject Property, it would not require amending the Conditional Use Permit). Landscaping: As part of the initial site plan approval for the development of the Subject Property, a bufferyard was provided with increased plantings along the southern lot line that abuts a residential parcel. It appears that there are nine (9) coniferous trees along the common property line and another four (4) deciduous trees north of the storm water pond which is in the green space between the residential property and the parking area of the subject property. No additional landscaping will be required.
