7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the use of an existing building for a
landscaping business and an auto -related business (auto
glass tinting, sales and installation of auto alarms,
stereos, and accessories). The property is located at
8700 Asher Avenue and zoned C-3.
The applicant is proposing to utilize approximately
2,500 square feet of an existing commercial building
for an auto -related business (auto glass tinting, sales
and installation of auto alarms, stereos and
accessories). This business will be operated during
normal daytime business hours and all business
activities will be kept within the enclosed building.
The applicant is also proposing to utilize
approximately 2,150 square feet of the same existing
commercial building for a landscaping business. This
business will also be operated during daytime hours.
There is a proposed outside storage area (approximately
1,650 square feet in area) located on the east end of
the building. This area will be used for parking
trailers only. Any landscape materials (pine bark,
plants, etc.) or equipment must be kept on the
trailers. All other activities will be kept within the
enclosed building.
The property at 8700 Asher Avenue contains two abutting
commercial buildings, a carwash, and two small storage
buildings (for the carwash business) along with an
asphalt parking area. The commercial building nearest
to Asher Avenue (along the west property line) contains
permitted enclosed retail uses. The second commercial

will be divided approximately in half to accommodate

the two proposed uses. The proposed uses combined with
the existing uses will require 36 of the existing 50+
paved parking spaces.

area along Asher Avenue, the proposed uses should not
have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties.

subject to the following conditions:
1. The hours of operation are to be normal daytime
business hours.
2. The area of outside storage is to be used for
parking trailers only. Any landscape materials
(pine bark, plants, etc.) or equipment must be

enclosed building.
