recommendation is presented as a combined motion for Council consideration and that the applicant is available remotely to answer questions.

Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heineman, Councilmembers Buscher, Olson, Peters, Riley, Specht, and Stewart. Voting No: None. 7.03: Adopt Resolution #26-024, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Repair Uses at 14310 Sunfish Lake Boulevard NW (Clark Companies) City Planner Martin presented two related conditional use permit applications from Clark Companies, which were discussed together because they are similar. The requests seek approval for motor vehicle repair uses at two industrial properties: one on Sunfish Lake Boulevard Northwest (formerly the Waltek property) and one on Azurite Street Northwest. Both properties are zoned I-1 Light Industrial and are guided for business park uses under the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Sunfish Lake property is approximately 4.65 acres and contains two buildings with eight suites and shared restrooms. The Azurite property is approximately 2.09 acres and includes three buildings with seven suites and shared restrooms, surrounded by a privacy fence. City Planner Martin explained that the buildings were originally approved for warehousing uses. The applicant has made improvements to the properties and is now seeking approval to permit motor -vehicle repair as a permitted use. Because motor vehicle repair requires a conditional use permit in the I-1 district, the applicant is requesting approval on a speculative basis, with no specific tenant identified. Approval would allow, but not require, motor vehicle repair in any of the existing suites. The applicant's proposal includes several operational limitations: no customer waiting areas; no outdoor storage; no visibly damaged vehicles parked outside; all repair work conducted indoors; and limited shared parking to ensure compatibility among tenants. These conditions align with the city's performance standards for motor vehicle repair uses. City Planner Martin stated that additional requirements and conditions outlined by staff include compliance with all applicable building and fire codes, issuance of new certificates of occupancy as needed, and completion of required permits. A sewer accessibility charge determination is required for the Sunfish Lake property because it is connected to municipal sewer service. In contrast, the Azurite property is served by a well and septic system. Other conditions include no loading or unloading on public roadways, proper screening of trash and hazardous waste areas, prohibition of on -site vehicle sales, and termination of any unidentified or outdated conditional - use permits. Staff also included standard enforcement language authorizing revocation of the permits if violations occur, use is discontinued, or conditions are not met.
