Page 3 <br />5. ANALYSIS: <br />Parking <br />There are two other properties including Super America, Premier Bank, and Hugo Auto Parts <br />adjacent to the property in question and all of the properties have a shared parking agreement. <br />The total number of parking spaces required per ordinance for all of the uses is 58 parking <br />spaces. Since the property in question is fenced in for a portion of the shared parking area, there <br />are 48 parking spaces available for use. There are 20 spaces that will be used for deferred parking <br />south of the fenced in areas behind the auto parts store that will be paved and striped when <br />needed. The total number of parking spaces would then be 68. The applicant has an agreement <br />with the owner of the auto parts store over the gravel parking area for the deferred parking. <br />Lighting <br />The applicant is proposing the to use the existing lighting on the building and property. No <br />additional lighting is proposed. <br />Signage <br />The applicant is not proposing any signage at this time. Any signage would require the issuance <br />of a sign permit and shall meet the ordinance requirements. <br />Fencing/Screening <br />The property has existing chain link fencing around the property. The applicant is not proposing <br />to change any of the fencing on the property. <br />A. Conditional Use Permit <br />The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand the legal non -conforming <br />use. The CUP can only be approved with findings that the expansion will reduce the impacts of <br />the legal non -conforming use on the surrounding properties in terms of activity, noise, traffic, <br />light, appearance, outside storage of vehicles, equipment, or materials, or other issues pertinent to <br />the property and use involved. <br />The Planning Commission must review the application for a conditional use permit with the <br />standards provided in Section 90-37 of the City Code. Staff used these standards to review the <br />application and found that the request meets the applicable standards as follows: <br />1. The proposed use is permissible by law. <br />An expansion of a non -conforming use may only be permitted in the Central Business (C-1) <br />zoning district by a CUP. <br />3 <br />
