4. A minimum of three hundred eighty (380) square feet of sales area per vehicle is provided, and no more than ten (10) vehicles may be displayed outdoors for sale at any time. 5. Adequate off-street parking and off street loading in compliance with the requirements of Sections 903.050 and 903.060 of this Ordinance is provided. 6. A perimeter curb is provided around the sales/parking lot. 7. A strip of not less than five (5) feet adjacent to the public right-of--way shall be landscaped and screened in compliance with Section 903.020.G of this Ordinance. Landscape plans for the proposed development shall be submitted to and approved by the City Council and City staff. 8. Such use is not located within two hundred (200) feet of residentially zoned property. 9. No more than a total of two (2) motor vehicle sales lot licenses may be in full force at any one time in the B-2 and B-3 Districts, nor may more than a total of four (4) such licenses be in force at any one time in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-1Districts combined. 10. License shall be subject to an annual review. 11. The provisions of Section 921.01 O.C of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met.

As noted in the applicant's submission, their display vehicles exceed the maximum of ten allowed by the current ordinance. However, they have applied for an outdoor storage Conditional Use Permit as part of this application that would apply to the excess vehicles. In any case, all of the vehicles are expected to comply with the terms of the Auto Sales CUP in terms of operable condition. The site is well landscaped and appears to meet the general terms of the ordinance. The applicants have proposed additional landscaping in front of the fenced area to increase screening of the sales lot. Amore detailed landscaping plan for that area should be prepared that illustrates the types of landscaping proposed. Consistency with existing materials would be more than adequate. The requirements for the Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage in the I-1 District are as follows: G. Open and Outdoor Storage as an accessory use, provided that: 1. The activity of outdoor storage shall require a separate business license issued by the City of Little Canada. 2. The storage area in question occupies an area no greater than sixty (60) percent of the gross square footage of the subject parcel. 3. The storage area shall not occupy any portion of the yard between the front building line and the adjoining public street, or the side building line and public street on a corner lot. 4. The storage is utilized solely by those tenants of the principal building in an
