The subject property is zoned B -3, Highway Business and warehousing which lists "auto service centers" as conditional uses. It is the applicant's intention to occupy the northern 3,900 square feet of the existing 7,032 square foot building and renovate the space to accommodate their business needs. The existing "DDD LLC development" was approved in 2001 as a PUD that allowed the project to be constructed in two phases. In the spring of 2003, the original plan was revised to allow a downsizing of the subject building (Building 2) and an increase in the size of the parking lot. The southern half of the subject building is presently occupied by the Stillwater Auto Clinic. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1 : site Plan Exhibit 2: Building Elevations Exhibit 3: Floor Plan Exhibit 4: sign Detail I 'Q��1J� WiJk I ►MW Project Request. The request is to allow an auto service facility within the northern portion of the subject building (Building 2 as identified on the site plan). According to the applicant, AAMCO Transmission is a specialized transmission and repair center which is complementary to a repair shop such as the Stillwater Auto Clinic. Typically, an outside vender provides tanks for transmission fluid, oil, etc. and periodically removes wastes and refills the tanks. All of the tanks will be stored indoors in compliance with building and fire codes. Normally, the business employs five persons. Although not finalized, anticipated business hours are 7 :30 or 8:00 am to 5 :00 or 0 :00 pm Monday through Friday and Saturday 7.30 or 8:00 am until noon. Proposed renovations (within the existing space) include the following: 1. Three new garage door openings 2 . The relocation of an existing man door 3. Interior improvements including: Five vehicle service bays Three new office areas (including a second level mezzanine office) A customer waiting room Employee break room ® Restroom The Zoning Ordinance lists specific criteria for review of auto service stations and motor fuel stations. Those criteria that are applicable to solely an auto repair center will be complied with. conditions will be added to the approval related to outside storage areas, keeping the doors to the service bays closed, noise, and licensing. Parking. A total of 99 off-street parking spaces exist on the subject site. Fifty three of the spaces are devoted to use by the subject building (Building 2 ). As part of previous evaluation, it was determined that 11 off-street parking spaces are required of the Stillwater Auto clinic. The Zoning Ordinance provides a parking requirement for auto repair consisting of eight parking spaces plus one additional space for each 800 square feet of floor area over 1 ,000 square feet. This equates to an off-street parking space requirement of 12 spaces for AAMCO Transmission. The combination of the two automobile repair uses on the site would require 23 off - street parking stalls, significantly less than the 53 stalls provided. ON To be noted is that the parking supply surplus (30 stalls) allows for parking flexibility for the project owner as it relates to future potential tenants. Garage Deers. As noted previously, the applicant is proposing to construct three new service bay doors (on the north side of the building). The new garage doors are located such that they will not negatively impact site circulation and do not contradict the intentions of the city's Design Guidelines. As a matter of city policy, such new service bays constitute off - street parking stalls in the evaluation of off - street parking supply. It has not been indicated whether or not new lighting is to be installed over the new service bay doors. If so, fixture details should be submitted for City review and approval. Performance standards. The buildings and site have been constructed according to approved plans. All grading and drainage, lighting, building design, trash enclosure, and landscaping issues were resolved at the time of construction. ignage. wall signage has been proposed on the northeast and southeast sides of the building. Each sign is to measure approximately 52 square feet in size (see Exhibit 4). The ordinance makes an allowance for the two wall signs for multi-tenant buildings provided they are affixed to the tenant space and do not exceed the area requirements of the B -3 zoning district. The sign location and size requirements of the ordinance have been satisfied. The proposed wall signs for the development will be required to meet all requirements of section 401.15.G of the Zoning Ordinance. Based upon the preceding review, it is recommended that the conditional use permit to allow for auto repair use, for AAMCO Transmission at 5525 Memorial Avenue in the l3- 3, Highway Business and warehousing District, be approved subject to the following conditions: �. All automobile repair activities shall be limited to within the principal structure and the doors to the service bays shall be kept closed except when vehicles are being moved in or out of service areas. 2. There shall be no exterior storage of automobile parts, parked cars, tanks (for transmission fluid, oil, etc.) or related items on the site. All storage shall be internal to the building. Any cars to be stored outside of the building shall be in full working order. 3. All tanks shall be stored in compliance with building and fire codes. 3 4. All noise created from operations on the site shall be in conformance with Section 401.15.13.11 of the zoning ordinance. 5. The applicant shall receive and retain, if required, a Hazardous Generators License from Washington county for the Discount Tire operation. 5. If new lighting is to be installed over the new service bay doors, fixture details be submitted for city review and approval. 7. All proposed signage shall be in compliance with section 401.15.G of the zoning Ordinance. C!
