4 R/APPLICANT•
PROPD AL:
ORDINANCE DESIGN STANDARDS:
1. Site Location:
Daniels Automobile Repair and
Service - Conditional Use Permit
2810 West 12th Street
F. A. Daniels
A conditional use permit is
requested to allow the use of this
existing, C-3 zoned service station
as an automobile repair garage and
service station. The applicant
also desires to display and rent 4
U-Haul trucks and 4 U-Haul trailers
on the site.
The property is located at the northwest corner of West 12th
Street and Appian Way.
2. Com atibzlit with Nei hborhood:
The property is located in area of extremely mixed zoning
and uses ranging from R-3, single family residential to I-2,
light industrial. The property to the west is zoned I-2 and
an R-4 zoned duplex is adjacent to the north. The
properties directly across West 12th Street and Appian Way
are zoned C-3 and occupied by a variety of commercial uses.
This site has a long established history of use as a service
station and allowing the addition of auto repair and limited
display and rental of U-Haul trucks and trailers would not
seem incompatible with the neighborhood.
3. n-Site Drives and Parking:
The property is paved nearly from property line to property
line. There is adequate parking and driveway space. The
parking of U-Haul trucks and trailers will take place in an
area directly east of the building and will not interfere
with the required parking and driveways.
4. Screening and Buffers:
No expansion of the building or parking lot are proposed.
Staff would recommend that screening be installed along that

portion of the northern perimeter between the proposed
II -Haul display area and the adjacent residential property.

No comments
7. Staff Anal sis•
On May 19, 1987, the Planning Commission approved a
conditional use permit allowing for an expansion of the
existing building and for limited motor vehicle repair to be
added to the permitted use as a service station. Under that
approval the applicant is allowed to furnish gasoline and
lubricating oil as a service station. The limited motor
vehicle repair restricts the applicant to such functions as
tire mounting and other periodic parts maintenance. The
applicant is now requesting a conditional use permit to
allow an auto repair garage. This would allow the applicant
to perform major vehicle repair, excluding body rebuilding,
painting or refinishing.
Staff feels that an auto repair garage is a reasonable use
for this property as long as all repair work takes place
within the enclosed bays of the building.
In addition to the auto repair garage, the applicant desires
to display for rent 4 II -Haul trucks and 4 trailers. The
display will occur on an area located east of the building
and well off of West 12th Street. There is adequate room
for this limited display without interfering with the
required parking and driveways.
Staff feels that the limited display of 4 II -Haul trucks and
4 trailers is a reasonable use on this site but would
recommend that the applicant install screening on that
portion of the northern perimeter between the II -Haul display
area and the adjacent residential property.
8. Staff Recommend ion:
Staff recommends approval of this application subject to the
following conditions:
a. Compliance with the City Engineer's Comments
b. The II -Haul display is to be limited to 4 trucks and 4
trailers which are to be kept in an area east of the

of the enclosed building.
d. There is to be no storage of''inoperable or wrecked

e. Screening is to be installed along that portion of the
northern perimeter between the U-Haul display area and
the adjacent residential property.
