such services. Additionally, Mr. Haselman indicated that vehicles that come to their business for those types of repairs are sent out as quickly as possible in order to minimize their time stored/kept on their property. He indicated that at 8 South Owasso, this same practice would occur. As a result, the applicant has requested a text amendment that would allow for Emergency Vehicle Sales and Repair which are currently not permitted in the I-P zoning district. Besides the text amendment portion of this request, the applicant is also seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit that would allow for outdoor storage of up to 12 emergency vehicles in the rear of the property. The rear yard is surrounded by a fence and the applicant has indicated that screening would be provided to the gates on either side of the building that allow access into the rear yard storage area. This screening will ensure that any outdoor storage is not visible from the street. Emergency vehicles that may potentially be kept outside could be those awaiting delivery to clients or to be sent off to a third party for additional services. Requirements - This is a new classification that the applicant is proposing as a Conditional Use within the I-P, Industrial Park District. The text amendment provision that staff has created below encompasses sections from Motor Vehicles Sales Lots, Motor Vehicles Repair – Minor, and Outdoor Storage that could be applicable to this use. Additionally, staff has created standards that are limited to specific conditions so that the use couldn’t be expanded or interpreted to include additional services. Staff also feels it is best to keep the distinction of Motor Vehicles Sales and Repair separate from Emergency Vehicle Sales/Storage Lot with Ancillary Outfitting Services so that no overlap or misunderstanding of services is created. Proposed Definition: Emergency Vehicle Sales/Storage Lot with Ancillary Outfitting Services. Vehicle Sales is limited to emergency vehicles only (such as squad cars, ambulances, firetrucks and the like). Outfitting Services are limited to installation, replacement, or repair of the “specialized equipment” portion only that is needed for these vehicles to be ready for 9-1-1 services, including but not limited to radios, light bars, computers, mobile display terminals, cages, consoles, and upholstery. This does not include repair services such as tires, batteries, tune-up service, oil changes, glass work, incidental body and fender work, transmissions, engine maintenance, painting or other mechanical repairs related to the operation or condition of a motor vehicle. Proposed Text Amendment Language with additional staff notations for clarification (the proposed ordinance for adoption is included at the end of staff’s report) - 918.040. CONDITIONAL USES. (Requires a conditional use permit based upon procedures set forth in Section 921 of the Zoning Code.) H. Emergency Vehicle Sale/Storage Lot with Ancillary Outfitting Services, provided that: 1. Outside sales of emergency vehicles is not allowed on the property. 2. Customer reviews of emergency vehicles will be conducted completely off-site.
