The property operates under a conditional <br />use permit (CUP) originally issued in 1992 and amended several times since. The business and <br />property is to be sold and the owners are requesting an amendment to the CUP to allow auto <br />body repair and painting, which are not permitted now under the CUP. <br />Discussion: <br />The Bear Lot at 2375 Mounds View Blvd was originally a Saturn dealership with a CUP approved <br />in 1992 by Resolution 4195. The CUP was amended in 1994, 1996, and 2010, allowing among <br />things, added parking stalls; expansion of the building; adding a car wash, landscaping, signage, <br />and lighting; and finally in 2010 removing the requirement for a new car license on the property. <br />A condition of the 1996 amendment remains in effect: "[V]ehicle repair, servicing and maintenance <br />are permitted on this site, excluding body work and painting.
