MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 <br />Vehicles Sales and Repair ". He further recommended that the <br />Commission consider the option of limiting the combination of licenses as <br />outlined in the report. <br />Duray asked if there was a limitation on Motor Vehicles Sales Outdoor <br />licenses. The City Clerk reported that there is a limitation of four outdoor <br />sales licenses, and one may be available at this time. <br />Maleitzke asked if the Planner's recommendation was consistent with <br />other cities. The City Planner reported that the Auto Repair /Auto <br />Sales /Outdoor Storage issues are unique to Little Canada and Ryan <br />Industrial Park. <br />With regard to the limitations on the combinations of licenses that the <br />Planner recommended, Duray asked if this would apply to new businesses <br />only. The Planner replied that that is correct. Current businesses would <br />be able to maintain their existing licenses provided they are in compliance <br />with the terms of their CUPs. <br />Maleitze asked what the Planner's recommendation would be. The <br />Planner stated that he felt limiting the combinations of licenses is <br />appropriate. The Planner noted that a typical car dealership does not have <br />outdoor storage of parts. Parts are stored indoors. The Planner also <br />indicated that the idea that outdoor storage is a necessary part of an auto <br />repair business is not necessarily true. He indicated that it is just the style <br />under which the businesses in Ryan Industrial Park operate. <br />With regard to the combination of licenses, Barraclough stated that he can <br />see the connection between an auto repair business and auto sales <br />business. He could also see the connection between a salvage repair <br />business and outdoor storage. <br />Duray suggested that a workshop meeting may be necessary with the City <br />Council to discuss these various options. The Planner indicated that a <br />workshop could be held or the Commission can make a recommendation <br />to the Council for their review in considering this matter. <br />With regard to the consideration of additional limitations on outdoor <br />storage for salvage repair as noted in the Planner's report, Fischer pointed <br />out the Planner's comments that the current outdoor storage regulations <br />appear reasonable and that the issue was compliance with those <br />regulations. The Planner stated that that was his impression, although he <br />recommended some additional language relative to storage of parts for <br />salvage sales and repair. With regard to outdoor storage in general, <br />Barraclough stated that he was not sure more limitations would be the <br />answer. The Planner noted that when the Code was updated a few years <br />-4- <br />
