Uses: Permitted Uses. Warehousing, light manufacturing, wholesaling, and UPS /shipping are all permitted uses within the I -P District. Conditional Uses. Accessory, enclosed retail and service activities are allowed with a conditional use permit. Such use is allowed with a CUP as long as it does not constitute more than ten (10) percent of the gross floor area of the principal structure (use). Specific use dimensions were not addressed on the site plan so it cannot be determined if the retail area is within the ten (10) percent maximum allowed. Test Track. A "test track" facility is not one of the five listed permitted uses under the allowable commercial recreational facilities within the permitted uses section of the Ordinance. Although not listed as a permitted use, the Ordinance also makes no provisions for allowing other previously unlisted commercial recreational facilities as conditional uses. The Ordinance is vague in addressing this particular type of commercial recreational use and does not provide a specific guideline for application of enforcement. The City may wish to consider including the "test track" facility as part of the retail, service accessory use, thus limiting total square footage for all accessory uses to ten (10) percent of the principal use. As mentioned earlier in this report, it is not possible to calculate individual use square footage amounts from the site plan provided so total retail with the test track cannot be calculated, however, it appears that the track and the retail areas combined would exceed the ten percent allowance. Another alternative would be to expand the interpretation of the definition of "commercial recreational" use as a permitted use to include in indoor test track. This would require Commission translation of the Ordinance to allow the test track as a permitted use thereby requiring a conditional use permit for the retail and service activities only. All conditional uses combined, whether it include the test track facility or not, would still have to occupy no more than ten (10) percent of the gross floor area of the principal structure, in addition the accessory conditional use(s) must also conform to the requirements as set forth in Sections 921.010 C and 921.030 of the Ordinance. Parking. Adequate off - street parking and off- street loading would be required and would need to be in compliance with the requirements of Sections 903.050 and 903.060 of the Ordinance. Any structure containing two (2) or more types of use shall be calculated separately for determining the total off - street parking spaces required. The parking requirements for the proposed Mac's Models project are as follows: Page 39
