PUBLIC HEARING - APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #278 TO ALLOW OUTDOOR VEHICLE STORAGE AT 8144 OLIVE BOULEVARD Chairman McCauley informed those present that the Plan Commission had scheduled a public hearing on an application for a Conditional Use Permit by Family Chevrolet, Inc. This company is requesting that the property at 8144 Olive Boulevard be approved for outdoor storage of motor vehicles in accordance with Zoning Code Section 34-35.4(9). The Chairman then outlined the Commission's procedure and criteria for reviewing the application. Mr. James R. Steiner, Vice President of Family Chevrolet, Inc. was present to represent the company. Mr. Steiner explained that Family Chevrolet, Inc. had recently purchased the Jung Chevrolet dealership located at the northeast corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Maryland Avenue in Clayton. The new dealership was able to store 90-100 vehicles at that location; however, storage area for more vehicles had always been needed. Family Chevrolet had been storing its excess inventory at 9119 Olive Boulevard in Olivette, but this property would no longer be available to Family Chevrolet for vehicle storage. The company was seeking approval from University City to use the property, and potentially the building, at 8144 Olive Boulevard for storage of new trucks and cars. There would be weekly delivery of vehicles to the site from out-of- town and pick-up of vehicles for transfer into Clayton almost daily. Family Chevrolet proposed to enclose the property with a chain-link fence for security purposes. The dealership realized the future potential of locating a new and used truck dealership to 8144 Olive Boulevard as a long-range goal.
