14. Provisions are made to control and reduce noise. 15. No outside storage except as allowed in compliance with Section 912- A.040.M of this Ordinance. 16. Sale or products other than those specifically mentioned in this subsection shall be subject to a conditional use permit and be in compliance with Section 912- A.040.M of this Ordinance. 17. All conditions pertaining to a specific site are subject to change when the Council, upon investigation in relation to a formal request, finds that the general welfare and public betterment can be served as well or better by modifying the conditions. 18. The provisions of Section 921.O10.C of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. 19. A protective canopy located over the pump island may be allowed as an accessory structure on the property and may be located twenty (20) feet or more from the front yard or side yard property line, provided that adequate visibility both on and off site is maintained. The changes to the site do not result in significant impacts on the current condition or the required conditions, many of which are more applicable to motor fuel sales rather than auto repair. The applicant has worked with the City Engineer to ensure that any stormwater impacts have been accounted for, and the applicant has proposed additional planting of eight spruce trees adjacent to the new parking area as a part of the project. The project site is surrounded by commercial zoning, and as such, does not impact any residentially-zoned areas. With regard to the Architectural Guidelines, the applicants have proposed to construct the addition of materials similar to those of the existing building. Because the addition is at the rear of the site and has limited visibility, no architectural issues are anticipated. Summary and Recommendation The proposed CUP amendment appears to be consistent with the requirements for such uses in the B-4 District, and the addition can be accommodated on the existing site. Planning staff recommends approval of the CUP amendment, based on a finding that the applicant's engineering plans are acceptable to the City Engineer, and that the proposed building addition will not impact existing conditions or code issues on the subject property. Staff recommends approval of the CUP, subject to a continuation of the applicable conditions attached to the original approval in 2000 (some of those conditions are no longer applicable following construction of the original building): 1. No auto repair may occur outside the principal building and the service bay doors are to remain closed at all times except when moving vehicles in/out of the building. 2. No outdoor storage will be allowed except for trash and refuse stored within the enclosure and vehicles for service within the designated parking stalls. 16
