The purpose of the amendment is to accommodate storage for an auto repair business that has now occupied the building, in addition to the applicant's concrete business. The 0.63 acre subject site is zoned 1 -1 District, which allows for limited industrial uses. Contractor shops and major auto repair are both permitted uses within this District. A CUP allowing outdoor storage of contractor equipment as an accessory use based on the site plan submitted with this application was originally approved on November 22, 1999 and amended in September 2000. ANALYSIS The applicant's request is to allow for storage of vehicles being serviced by the permitted major auto repair use within the existing storage south of the building, as identified on the site plan. The three storage areas shown on the site plan are fenced and screened from view by a slatted chain link fence and landscaping. All of the storage areas also have an asphalt surface consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. As such, the change from storage of contractor's equipment to repair vehicles is not likely to have any type of effect. However, the City should limit the use of the storage area to vehicles under service and not for storage of destroyed vehicles, parts, or other accessory equipment. Page 28
