The property is located at 9110 I-30 (old McCoy's Home Center) and is zoned C-4. The applicant proposes the auction to be part-time, approximately eight (8) days per month. The auction will take place during afternoon and early evening hours. The applicant proposes the auction activity to take place inside building #2, as shown on the site plan. Occasionally, if an item (a large R.V. for example) is too large to enter building #2, the item will be auctioned just outside building #2. No permanent outdoor speaker system will be used. If any of the auction activity takes place outside building #2, a small hand-held speaker will be used.
