number of occupants on -site and not a lot of customers, which is why there is only one bathroom. <br />He explained that someone would drop their vehicle off, and customers would not be waiting. He <br />stated that the property to the south has auto repair activity as well, and therefore believes that this <br />would be a good fit for the area. He commented that he has spent a significant amount of money <br />improving the aesthetics of the property, and they will not have damaged vehicles sitting outside. <br />He stated that tenants would sign an agreement that vehicles would not be sitting outside waiting <br />for repair. He noted that he has received positive input from neighboring properties on how he has <br />cleaned up the property. He asked if there are any existing Conditional Use Permits (CUPS) on <br />the property. <br />City Planner Martin replied that staff did not find any existing CUPs recorded on the property, but <br />he could verify that again prior to the City Council meeting. He noted that the condition was a <br />recommendation from the City Attorney, which will be a standard condition for CUP requests and <br />was not specific to the property. <br />Commissioner R. Bauer asked if there is a reason the applicant is only looking at auto repair, other <br />than some of the other uses that would be allowed in the district. <br />Mr. Clark replied that he has had the most number of inquiries from potential tenants for this type <br />of use. He also believed it would be a good fit for the space. <br />Commissioner Musgrove asked if a customer would bring their vehicle and pay for their repair. <br />She asked if there would be an office space for that type of activity. <br />Mr. Clark replied that there are a lot of different options available for card processing without there <br />needing to be a physical desk. He noted that payments can be processed with software from a cell <br />phone, and an office is not needed. He confirmed that a vehicle would need to be dropped off and <br />would need to set up a ride home, similar to dropping off a vehicle at any other repair shop. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked if the applicant is comfortable with the restrictions as proposed by <br />staff. <br />Mr. Clark confirmed that he is comfortable and noted that staff did a great job of bringing those <br />items to him before the meeting. <br />Chairperson Gengler explained that typically, there would be a tenant at the time of a CUP request <br />rather than speculative. <br />Mr. Clark explained that the potential tenants he has spoken with are looking to move quickly, and <br />therefore, he needs to be proactive and have the space available for tenants to move into. <br />Motion by Commissioner N.
