STAFF PRESENTATION
Mr. Patterson described the subject area and the current use restrictions, explaining the rezoning request was to add one use – new & used automobile sales inside a building – to the list of allowable use for Phase C-1A only. Interior showroom for sales of high-end new & used cars. The outdoor display/storage of vehicles and auto service/rentals would be prohibited. Mr. Patterson outlined the surrounding uses and stated Staff’s opinion that the rezoning would have little impact on the area.
A revised Preliminary Development Plan was required to reflect the use of an un-leased portion of the existing building for the new use. The revised Final Development Plan would be approved administratively.
Staff recommended approval of both items, subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Report(s).
