CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels zoned in the C-5, Commercial District, currently developed with a self-serve carwash facility. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District would allow for the development of an automobile sales facility. The limitation text allows C-4, Commercial District uses with an accompanied list of prohibited uses. Development standards in the text address vehicle access, screening and landscaping along Cleveland Avenue and Home Acre Drive, lighting, outdoor display areas, prohibited activities, and graphics. The limitation text commits to a site plan and elevation drawings if the property is to be used for auto sales. The site is located within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location. The requested L-C-4, Limited Commercial District would allow redevelopment of the site along a commercial corridor with an automobile sales use while utilizing limitations and development standards consistent with established zoning and development patterns of the area. In addition, parking lot landscaping and screening, which does not exist with the current development, has been incorporated into the proposed development.
