EXHIBIT -A"

CROWN CHEVROLET AND CROWN TOYOTA
PROPOSED PCD-2 ZONING

At the present time, all of the property occupied by Crown Chevrolet and Crown Toyota (hereinafter referred to as -Crown"), owned by Schnaer Real Estate Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as -Schnaer"), is zoned C-5.   After the proposed exchange of property between Schnaer and Wal-Mart, Crown will occupy the bulk of the former Payless Cashways property, and will retain a portion of the present Crown property. Wal-Mart will receive a portion of the present Crown property and a small portion of the Payless Cashways property. The Payless Cashways property is presently zoned as a Planned Commercial District (PCD) with very specific permitted uses.

Wal-Mart's property is zoned C-5 now, and it is anticipated they will be requesting a zoning change on that small parcel of Payless Cashways property they will receive to conform to their present C-5 zoning.

We understand the City would prefer that Crown/Schnaer seek a zoning change to PCD-2 with broad permitted uses, rather than C-5 zoning for the property they will ultimately occupy and own following the exchange. It is our wish and intent to work with the City in a cooperative effort to accomplish this mutually beneficial development and to that end will follow the recommendations of staff in the hope that proposed zoning can be accomplished with the least possible delay, since time really is of the essence.

With that in mind, we hereby set out the PCD-2 we are requesting, with the expanded uses necessary. It must be understood that a number of variances and waivers will be necessary to accommodate the property under PCD-2 zoning, since a number of requirements under that zoning will be instantly violated by existing conditions (which are not violations under C-5). Additionally, variances and waivers will be necessary to accommodate the planned development, and without those variances and waivers the development can not proceed. If there is some hesitancy or resistance to granting the needed variances and waivers, we will need to apply for C-5 zoning after all.

We will be requesting the following permitted uses under PCD-2 zoning:

(a)                  All of those permitted uses under Use Group 7 in Section 20-709.5 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section.

(b)                  All of those permitted uses under Use Group 9 in Section 20-709.7 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section.

(c)                  All of those permitted uses under Use Group 11 in Section 20-709.9 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section, with the exception of food stores, convenience stores, and restaurants which shall not be permitted.

(d)                  All of those permitted uses under Use Group 12 in Section 20-709.10 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section, with the exception of bowling alleys; clubs or lodges; department stores; variety stores; food convenience stores; gasoline stations for sale to the public of gasoline; food stores (including retail bakeries); liquor, wine and beer sales; pawnshops; and theatres, which shall not be permitted.

(e)                All of those permitted uses under Use Group 13 in Section 20-709.11 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section, with the exception of commercial amusements parks; commercial baseball parks; carnivals or circuses; eating establishments with dancing or entertainment; eating establishments providing only drive-up service or no seating facilities; food convenience stores, including gasoline sales; food locker plant for consumer use; commercial golf driving range; golf pitch and putt or miniature golf course; sex shop; sexually oriented media store; commercial skating rink and drive-in theatre, which shall not be permitted.

(f)                 All of those permitted uses under Use Group 14 in Section 20-709.12 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section, with the exception of pawnshops, sexually oriented cabarets, and sexually oriented motion picture theatres, which shall not be permitted.

(g)                All of those permitted uses under Use Group 15 in Section 20-709.13 of the March 1, 2001 Revision to the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and any additional permitted uses under any later amendments or modifications to this section, with the exception of a bowling alley; game arcade, including video games; a theatre; and outdoor amusement, recreational or cultural facilities.

MARKET STUDY

 

The requested rezoning of the existing Payless Cashways property and that portion of the existing Crown property that will remain Crown property, will not significantly change market characteristics at this location or within this commercial region in any detrimental way. The existing Crown property is now being used for automotive sales and service, together with related retail sales, and that is the intended use of the property under the redevelopment.

 

The proposed redevelopment will, however, enhance Crown's ability to better provide for the service needs of its customers, and will allow Crown to offer a larger inventory from which the buying public may select, both in new and used cars, as well as automotive related retail products and accessories.

 

This is the area intended for such uses, and certainly growth of existing businesses is encouraged, as competition among the existing automotive sales and service entities continues and flourishes.

 

With the assistance of Chevrolet and Toyota, we have developed projections based on the ability to expand our business into the existing Payless Cashways location, and can forecast, with a great deal of reliability, the following:

 

New car sales for Crown Toyota is expected to increase from $14,494,644.00 this year, to $20,075,675.00 the year following redevelopment, for an increase of $7,825,080.00 in the first year alone.

 

Used Toyota sales increase by 7.3%

 

Toyota Service increase by $571,230.84 in the first year alone. Toyota Parts increase from $887,140.00 to $1,042,248.00.

 

New car sales for Crown Chevrolet is expected to increase from $11,551,815.00 to $16,172,541.00 in the first year alone.

 

Used Chevrolet sales increase from $5,371,618.00 to $7,520,265.00.

 

Chevrolet service will increase by 7.3%

 

Chevrolet parts will increase by $558,850.98 in the first year.

 

Body Shop will increase from $1,389,383.00 to $1,667,259.00

 

This is a total increase in sales for the three entities from $21,354,037 to $29,009,530.00.

In addition, we anticipate the need for 29 additional employees with a total increase in payroll of $723,840.00 annually.

 

This, coupled with the anticipated increase in sales tax generated of $1,130,080 represents a substantial financial benefit to the city, as well.

 

We intend to supplement this document with additional data and reports, and will provide that as soon as received.
