BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property consists of three parcels located on Wilson Street at the intersection with
Fourth Street. The property is currently zoned RSF and HBO. It is approximately .72 acre and
is currently vacant.
The first request is to rezone the northern most lot (Tax Map #143-1-13) from RSF to HBO in
order to combine the three parcels.
The second request is for a Special Exception Permit to allow a used car dealership. The
applicants state that they plan to have a small office and garage on the property. They also
state they will not perform any "major work" on vehicles at the slte.
ISSUES:
According to Sec. 106-310.3 Use and Design Standards for Automobile dealerships, used:
"Outdoor display areas in conjunction with automobile sales shall be constructed of the same
materials required for off-street parking areas as required by Section 106-404 of this chapter."
Since currently there is no paved lot, the applicants will be required to install one prior to
displaying vehicles for sale.
The applicants will be required to submit a site plan to the city for review prior to any
development occurring on the site. The applicants may also be required to install storm water
management on the site.
