CASE # 6 REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN OUTSIDE DISPLAY/SALES AREA; CASE OF JIM PROVINZINO By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Mr. Jim prov_o.v~zin~ is_pmpoaing._to~_es_ta~b~_s~_~_mg_t_or.._y~i~c!c_~a!_cs lot at 6304 Hwy. #10 N.W. -Thc subj~t prop~ is app. mximatcly_ .1.D ~a~._!n size and is zoned B:3 Hi~'g~h~way vehicle s~lcs-'t~'l~lgCn:~tt~ hse'ln-tl'ie B-3 Busin~'l:)i~c~-L~l-IoW-eV~r~b._~h~~ use_:Pe/_rmit is required if a p~Red use in the B,3 Distri~ct includes an otif~ifi~sp!ay/_s.al_es~a~._ea.

In the past, I believe the City used the same setback as that required for off-street parking, 3 feet. I did find a little known requirement in the City Code that requires a 25 foot setback for merchandise sales areas in Outdoor lots. Also, the front yard setback in the B-3 District is 35 feet, however that section also specifies that there shall be no activity permitted in the front one-half of that setback. The applicant is proposing to provide a 12 foot setback from the front property line. The applican~ is also proposing to place customer parking at the very southern most part of the property. I would Suggest that a more logical place for customer parking would be nearer the sales office at the n0rthem end of the property. Recommendation: I recommend approval of the request for a conditional use permit contingent upon negotiating a lesser number of vehicles to be displayed on the property and resolving an appropriate setback for display areas.: The City Engineer and I discussed the setback issue briefly and perhaps the least comphcated boundary, to enforce is the property line, which is established.
