MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 11, 1994 standards which must be met. Carson asked what standards and conditions the City currently imposes. The Planner reviewed the 19 conditions listed on page 107 of the Zoning Ordinance. While most deal with motor fuel stations, many apply to auto repair. Carson asked what the outdoor storage requirement was. The Planner replied that outdoor storage is allowed subject to compliance with the provisions of the ordinance. Keis was concerned about controlling the type of auto body repair operation that would be allowed on Rice Street. Keis suggested that creating a new CUP may be preferable so that the City can impose specific restrictions for auto body repair businesses. The Planner agreed, and suggested that his office could put a list of specific restrictions together. The Planner also suggested that the Commission would want to define both limited and major auto body repair as outlined in the definition proposed by Abra on page 4 of the Commission's agenda packet. The Planner also suggested that the Commission may want to include the three conditions listed in The C. Chase Company letter dated August 2, 1994. Benson felt part of the concern was defining minor auto body repair. Benson reported that Abra does not do heavy auto body repair, those types of businesses being located in industrial parks. Benson pointed out that the Abra site will be an attractive facility with a lot of landscaping and buffering. Benson indicated that it was too expensive to air - condition the facility, therefore, it would be necessary to have garage doors open 24 inches during the summer months for ventilation purposes. Abra does not generate a lot of noise. Keis asked if Abra would repair a totaled car. The Commission was informed that Abra will repair damage up to 70% of the value of a vehicle. Abra does not fix totaled -out vehicles. Benson also reported that Abra does not repair trucks and larger vehicles. 3
