APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE PARMING STALL REWQUIREMENTS FOR
O'REILLY AUTO ENTERPRISES, LLC, ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 14777
FOREST BOULEVARD NORTH
WHEREAS, O'Reilly Auto Enterprises, LLC, has requested approval of a variance to allow a 26
parking spaces, where 41 parking spaces are required by ordinance for the property legally
described as follows:
SEE ATTACHED
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing
and recommends approval and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOVLED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by O'Reilly Auto
Enterprises, LLC, for a variance to allow 26 parking spaces, where 41 parking spaces are
required by ordinance based on the following findings:
1. The proposed variance is permissible bylaw,
2. Parking and loading areas are allowed as an accessory use in the Central Business (C-1)
zoning district. A reduced amount of parking for the retail use is a reasonable request.
3. The property is with the area guided by the downtown design guidelines. In a typical
downtown setting the parking does not meet the strict parking requirements. A typical
requirement for retail uses is four parking spaces for each 1,000 square feet of floor area. In
that case, for this 6,600 square feet of retail space, 26 spaces would be required. Allowing 26
parking spaces for a retail building of this type is reasonable.
4. The variance to allow a reduced number of parking spaces will not noticeably alter the
character of the area.
5. The applicant has practical difficulties in meeting the ordinance regulations.
6. The spirit and intent of the parking regulations in the ordinance is to ensure that adequate
parking is in place for the intended use. The proposed parking spaces are adequate for the
intended use. The variance on the property will be keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance as it develops.
7. Parking and loading areas are allowed as an accessory use in the Central Business (C-1)
zoning district.
8. The property is not located within a FEMA designated floodplain.
RESO 2015-9
9. The property is served by municipal sewer and water.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 2nd day of February, 2015.
