Moved by Commissioner Reed [0:00] · Seconded by Commissioner Bednar [0:00]
The primary discussion points included the nature of major auto repair as a conditional use in the B2 zoning district, the proposed business's location within a new multi-tenant building, and assurance that all operations would be contained indoors. Parking adequacy was a key concern raised by a commissioner, which was clarified by the developer regarding the allocation of spots per tenant and overall site capacity. The process for enforcing CUP conditions and potential revocation was also clarified.
Public Hearing: Request for a Variance Increasing the Maximum Area of an Accessory Dwelling Unit to 1,000 Square Feet by Zamira Salakhutdinova

This item revisited a previous discussion about an existing illegal duplex. Staff presented a path forward via a variance, as reducing the unit size was deemed unfeasible. The discussion focused on meeting the seven general variance conditions, particularly the 'unique circumstances not created by the landowner' criterion. Commissioners expressed satisfaction with staff finding a solution that balanced resident concerns and applicant needs. The applicant was not present but had submitted a supportive email, and one public comment in favor was received.

According to the applicant's narrative all auto auto automotive repair and maintenance and assembly and disassembly uh would um be completely done within the enclosed building and then no operations occurring outdoors.
four spots are allowed for every Yeah, for every tenant per 2,000 square feet, So, that's been made clear with everyone. ... there's also enough room for approximately three or two to four cars inside to be worked on. So, there'll be space inside and then those spots outside as well.
Yes, correct. Yep. Usually we try we try and avoid and work with the the proper or, you know, property owner the applicant and everything trying to mitigate that trying not to have to revoke the conditional use permit, but essentially that is um the course of action for that.
The zoning code does allow for accessory dwelling units subject to certain conditions, uh specifically in this case related to the size of the accessory dwelling unit. Um reducing the basement dwelling unit from its 1,000 square feet or 983 square feet uh to the 800 square feet um maximum would be unfeasible, according to the applicant.
The existing illegal dwelling unit on the lower level of the structure was not designed nor constructed by the current property owner.
I you know, this was a one we went back and forth on to find a solution that that worked for the residents all the residents in that area as well as that myself and the commission felt comfortable with um with doing. So, I appreciate the work staff did to to find a solution here.
