. Minutes - Plan Commission Page 2 May 24, 1989 . existing business area. The unit known as 8374 Olive had been used previously for auto repair businesses, but this standing use had been interrupted by the occupancy of a bakery supply company. He further explained that the building had a clean outer appearance which he would strive to maintain. Mr. Charles Klotzer, owner of the building, operated a printing and graphics business in the unit with Olive Boulevard frontage. Chairman McCauley called on Al Goldman, Director of Planning to present the staff report on this application. Mr. Goldman explained that, indeed, the standing that this business location once had as an automotive repair facility was lost as a result of the bakery supply company's occupancy. However, the automotive repair use is certainly appropriate in this particular building although the proposed use requires a Conditional Use Permit in order to reinstate the automobile repair use as well as permission to store vehicles out-of-doors. The Chairman asked Mr. Goldman if this area had ever had any problems with the compatibility of the automotive related uses. He replied that at one time Crixdale Avenue had been used for test drives, but that practice had been stopped by the police. Chairman McCauley asked the applicant if he had any concerns regarding the three conditions of operation proposed in the staff report. Mr. LaClair replied that he agreed with the proposed conditions but may have to work out a time frame within which the parking lot striping could be completed due to the building owner's plans to repair and/or resurface the lot. Chairman McCauley stated that a deadline for completion of this work could be reviewed with the Zoning Administrator and with the building inspection department. Chairman McCauley called for the applicant to answer any questions from Commission members. Ms. Kreishman asked what type of signage the proposed business would be permitted. Ms. Elwood replied that Mr. LaClair would be permitted to have a wall sign indicating his business location and could have exposure to the Olive Boulevard frontage via a Directory Sign should the building owner elect to have such a sign. Ms. Elwood indicated that she had talked to the building owner about such a sign possibility. Chairman McCauley declared the public hearing open and called for questions or comments from those present; however, as no interested parties were present to speak, the hearing was closed. After a brief discussion regarding how this property was amenable to automotive repair uses, Mr. Kendall moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the application for Conditional Use Permit '275 subject to the following conditions: 1. The lower parking area used by the automotive related businesses shall be striped in accordance with a plan reviewed and approved by the Zoning Administrator. 2. Signs shall conform with the provisions of the Zoning Code. 3. No more than ten (10) cars held for service by Bavarian Restoration & Supply shall be parked or stored on the lot overnight. Mr. Washington seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0.
