TITLE 16-59 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT <br />ESCROW # 115106 <br />DEPARTMENT: Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) <br />Name: Chris Anderson <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: Phone: 763-433-9817 <br />Email: canderson@citvoframsev.com <br />General: The purpose of this file is to review a request for an amended conditional use permit and the Site Plan for an <br />expansion of surface parking area related to motor vehicle sales. <br />Applications & Assumptions: Conditional Use Permit Amendment <br />This case is being reviewed per City Code Section 117-51 entitled Conditional Use Permits, City Code Section 117-115 B-2 <br />Highway Business District, and City Code Section 117-356 Commercial and Industrial Development off-street parking. <br />Zoning: The Property is currently zoned as B-2 Highway Business District. This zoning designation allows for the operation <br />of motor vehicle sales and service through the issuance of a conditional use permit. <br />Dimensional Standards: <br />90 degree <br />60 degree <br />45 degree <br />Parking Space and Drive Aisle Dimension Requirements <br />Stall Width <br />9 feet <br />9 feet <br />9 feet <br />Stall Depth <br />18 feet <br />17 feet <br />17 feet <br />Aisle Width <br />24 feet <br />17 feet <br />11 feet <br />Setback from R-O-W <br />20 feet <br />20 feet <br />20 feet <br />Required Parking: For auto sales lots, there shall be one (1) parking space for each ten (10) autos displayed. The Site Plan <br />has been revised to reflect only the parking stalls required by City Code (per the direction of the Planning Commission) <br />and all stalls shown appear to comply with the minimum dimensional standards. Note that as motor vehicles are displayed <br />for sale, a drive aisle compliant with the above dimensional standards shall be maintained. <br />Parking Lot Landscaping: The Site Plan has been revised to include two (2) deciduous trees along the north lot line due to <br />the proposed additional parking stalls. The Site Plan shall be amended to include a planting schedule identifying the <br />proposed species, root stock, and include a planting detail as well. <br />Bufferyard: The Site Plan has been revised to include ten (10) evergreen trees along the south lot line (this is in addition <br />to the existing landscaping that was previously installed). Note that if trees within the bufferyard are removed to facilitate <br />the drainage pond, those trees will need to be replaced in addition to the proposed landscaping. The Site Plan shall be <br />amended to include a planting schedule identifying the proposed species, root stock, and include a planting detail as well. <br />Access: The expanded parking area will continue to be accessed from Riverdale Dr. NW. The Applicant is proposing an <br />internal connection to the adjacent property to the west (7850 Riverdale Dr. NW), which will require a Cross Access <br />
