STAFF REVIEW
The subject property is located on the east side of N 3rd Street north of I-70. The property is surrounded by commercially zoned property to the south and east and industrially zoned property to the north and west. A small portion of the property to the west is zoned for Single-family Residence, but is part of the storage facility. The property to the east and south is zoned for Commercial Strip, but is currently undeveloped. Further to the south is a mobile home sales lot. This is the first Special Event Permit request for this property this year.
Chapter 6 Article 15 of the City Code has been enacted by Ordinance No. 8089 in March of 2007. Section 1501.4 permits administrative approval of special event requests if the property has been site planned with parking in excess of the number required in the zoning ordinance to support the principal use(s) on the property. This request can not be administratively approved because the property meets but does not exceed the parking requirements set forth in the site plan. Section 1501.5 of the City Code states that ‘Any special event not meeting the criteria of Sections 6-1501.3 or 6-1501.4 may be granted a Temporary Special Event Permit by the City Commission.”
The proposed event will take place on June 23rd, 2007 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. June 24th has been requested as a potential rain date. The motorcycle display will be located on the paved surface to the west of the building and will not utilize any parking spaces. An 8’ x 20’ tent for t-shirt sales will be located in 2 parking spaces to the north of the building as shown on the accompanying graphic.
The site plan for Slow Ride Roadhouse [SP-09-60-01] was approved by the City Commission on February 26, 2002 and is on file in the Planning Office. The event is planned for non-peak business hours and there is adequate parking for the anticipated increase. The event is not anticipated to increase accident potential or cause overcrowding of the parking area.
The tent must be flame retardant, a fire extinguisher must be provided and “No Smoking” signs must be posted. If the tent has walls, rather than just a canopy, 2 exits with exit signs and emergency lighting must be provided.
Additionally, any signs displayed in conjunction with the event shall comply with the City sign regulations and shall not be located on public right-of-way. A temporary sign permit must be obtained from Neighborhood Resources if temporary signage is planned.
Recommendation: Planning Staff recommends approval of the Temporary Use Permit for a motorcycle show at Slow Ride Roadhouse, 1350 N 3rd Street on June 23th 2007 from 10 AM to 5 PM and June 24th, 2007 (with June 24th being a potential rain date) subject to the following conditions:
