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.

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 2 May 16, 1995 SUB DIVI I IT 1 C nG.
