Explanation
Council Variance Application # CV13-034
APPLICANT: YDT Sinclair Road, LLC; 942 A Freeway Drive North; c/o Mark Taggart.
PROPOSED USE: Automotive maintenance and repair.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a warehouse building zoned in the M-1, Manufacturing District. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow the building to be used for automotive maintenance and repair. Automotive maintenance and repair facilities are not permitted in the M-1, Manufacturing District, but assembly, manufacturing, processing, and treatment of automobiles and automotive parts is permitted. The use is also permitted in the C-4, Commercial and M, Manufacturing Districts. Furthermore, the M-1 District allows bus garages and truck depots where routine vehicle maintenance is permitted. The automotive maintenance and repair proposed for this site is much less intense than the maintenance of a fleet of buses or trucks, and industrial uses will still be permitted by retaining the M-1, Manufacturing District. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area. No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspect of this request.
