Ms. Kirilaschok replied that they do have car covers that could be used for vehicles stored <br />outdoors. She stated that they tend to stick with minor damaged vehicles as those take less time <br />to repair. She stated that at the current location there are three vehicles outdoors and six or seven <br />inside. She stated that the vehicles stored outdoors have already been repaired or are covered. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the applicant would be open to using a fence for screening. <br />Ms. Kirilaschok stated that they would be open to a fence if that were to become a condition. <br />Commissioner Dunaway stated that his concern was with the number of vehicles that would be <br />stored outdoors but that was answered by the applicant. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he has an issue with the E-1 district. He stated that this would <br />be a request to change the Code and he does not prefer to change the Code to meet the request of <br />one business. He stated that in the E-1 district this activity is only allowed in a multi -tenant <br />building with no outdoor storage and he cannot support changing the Code in this manner. He <br />stated that he would be more in favor of looking to add more commercial areas where this activity <br />could occur. He stated that making these changes to the district would simply open up additional <br />issues. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl displayed a zoning map and identified the areas where this use is <br />currently allowed. <br />Commissioner Gengler asked if this were to come forward as a case, would it be through CUP or <br />a Code change for the entire district. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied that the easiest way to do this would be a Code change to <br />remove the multi -tenant requirement for this type of use. She noted that the outdoor storage could <br />be addressed through a CUP. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked the rational that this activity occur in a multi -tenant building. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that she believed the thinking was to allow this use to <br />begin in a smaller scale in a multi -tenant building which could grow into its own freestanding <br />business. She displayed the related section of City Code for business incubator/multi-tenant <br />facility. She stated that the section is very confusing and regardless of the action tonight, the <br />language should be cleaned up. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that he does not ever recall an applicant coming forward to use <br />anything in the E-1 district as a business incubator. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that there are a few larger buildings that rent out suites <br />within the building and take advantage of this section of Code. She stated that the only other <br />example would be in the business district where a business owner rents out individual units for <br />vehicle sales. She stated that building has consistent turnover from tenants. <br />Planning Commission/ May 6, 2021 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
