The site is zoned E-1 Employment and guided as <br />Places to Work in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is only allowed by a conditional <br />isuse permit within this district. <br />The applicant would like to use the unoccupied site for the sale and outdoor display of vehicles. <br />There would be approximately 10 to 15 cars on the lot. The cars would be parked on the front <br />side of the lot that faces Highway 10 and along the western side of the site. The existing building <br />-would be used as a sales office. <br />City Code states that a conditional use permit can be obtained to conduct open or outdoor sales <br />as a principal use within an E-I Employment district if the following criteria are met: <br />1) That the use does not take up required parking spaces or loading areas and, <br />2) That the sales area is surfaced with asphalt or concrete material to control dust. <br />3) The standards on determining the suitability of granting the conditional use permit are <br />met, per Section 9.03.05 of City Code. <br />The site is paved in accordance with a site plan submitted on November 15, 1995, and was <br />inspected on July 28, 2000.
