" ~ . . . ,""'- The C-2 zone requires that retail stores or businesses not involve any kind of manufacture, processing or treat- ment of products other than that which is clearly incidental to the retail' business conducted on the premises. It ' appears that the applicants will not be stressing retail sales of automotive parts and supplies but instead will be operating more of an automot~ve service anq repair type of business which, accordirig~eo Code, is limited to C-M and M zones with a conditional use permit. Code, requires a total of 85 parking spaces based upon the total floor area. of all buildings on the property. Existing are a total 'of' 58 marked spaces 8' 6" by 20' in size. Code requires that.all. parking spaces be 9' by 20'. The plot plan was'deficient in that it did not give dimensions of the two planter areas iocated adjacent to the building, existing planters located in the parking lot or for the proposed planter on the north side of the Fairv~ew.Avenue parking lot area. Code requires that three percent (3%) of a parking lot be landsc~ped. In. addition, the plot plan did not show the parking stalls and only indicated one driveway along the Baldwin Avenue frontage. Code requires that additional landscaping be located along ~e parking lot area fronting on Baldwin Avenue. Further, the plot plan did not indicate an enclosed trash area or outdoor lighting arrangement; also, no s~gn plans were submitted. The plot plan was also deficient by not showing existing chain link fencing that separates the Baldwin Avenue parking area fro~ the automotive service areas or . , , , ~ . r . . -~ er.J~' ,1 ~~ lf6' /),r-<.I- <f c.r Jr.-PjuJ4...-- ~' C;:Z-W1 parking lot I~ ~~~ C.U.P. 72-11 the chain,link fencing that exists area fronting on Fairview Avenue. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department fe s that the proposed use is more of a garage type. busin s rather than being an incidental use to retail saies and should be restricted to a C-M or M zone. Therefore, the Planning Department recommends that this application be denied. However, if the Planning Commission desires to approve this application, the following conditions. should be made conditions of said approval: 1. Applicants shall submit to the Planning Depart- ment a revised plot plan delineating all of the deficiencies outlined in this report. I , ~2.
