CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 08/25/2020 Submitted For: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development By: Eric Maass, Community Development Information 5.7. Title: Adopt Resolution #20-156 Approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application for Car Sales and Service at 6021 Highway 10; Case of Lund Auto Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for auto sales and service at 6021 Highway 10 NW. The Applicant, Lund Auto, currently utilizes warehouse space at 6043 Highway 10 NW and would like to utilize the back garage space at 6021 for auto repair and the parking lot for car sales. Lund Auto has utilized space at 6043 Highway 10 for several months without a zoning enforcement action taking place. The property owner, Roman Gadaskin, has submitted a building permit application for interior upgrades that would involve the construction of a bathroom, office, and customer waiting area. If approved, the use would not be allowed until the City's Building Official has issued a certificate of occupancy necessary for this type of use. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommended approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at its meeting on August 6, 2020. Notification: City Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property of the request by U.S. Mail as reflected by Anoka County Property Records for the August 6 Public Hearing. Notifications are not required for this step and have not been provided. Observations/Alternatives: Observations Staff has worked with the property owner on cleaning up the property since the revocation of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) issued to Truck Garant. The property owner has cooperated with staff and has been investing in improving the exterior of the property in addition to the interior of the garage space for the proposed use if approved. Lund Auto would conduct car sales and service from the property. Proposed activities would include mechanical repairs such as brakes, engines, suspension, as well as oil changes and tire replacements. Lund Auto would not provide any paint service or repair of body work but would replace a damaged body part for a non damaged part. Such use would need to comply with inoperable vehicle and outdoor storage requirements. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. This consideration shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: a. The nature of the land upon which the use is to be located. The land is zoned H-1 Highway 10 which has a number of similar businesses including a car sales business currently only the property. b. The nature of adjoining land or buildings. The land adjacent to this property includes properties also zoned as H-1 Highway 10. The site backs up to the railroad as well which further buffers this use from adjacent industrial uses to the north.
