5a. PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit request for additional
th
accessory structures at 735 5 Ave West
Robbins moved to open the public hearing and seconded by Sandhu. Sta?
presented that the applicant is proposing to add a storage shed to their property of
approximately 80 square feet. Based on the lot size, the applicant exceeds the
allowed lot coverage. Commissioner Forsythe asked if applicant could do a larger
shed since we are allowing the applicant more space than the 80 square feet. Sta?
noted that anything over 250 square feet would need a building permit.
Commissioner Robbins asked if it was being used for storage and why the applicant
needed more storage. Sta? noted the garage is partially being used as a music
studio.
John Wright, applicant, said it was clear what the need was.
Commissioner Robbins moved to close public hearing, seconded by Reding and
passed unanimously.
Reding made motion to approve Resolution PC2025-001 to allow accessory
structure totaling up to 100% of the square footage of the principal structure of
1,176 square feet. Second, by Robbins. Approved unanimously.
5b. PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit for Vehicle Repair Service in
the B-1, Highway Business Zone at 936 First Avenue East
Motion to open public hearing by Commissioner Robbin and seconded by
Commissioner Ranua.
Sta? presented that Clay Monsrud (owner of A?inity Plumbing), property owner, is
requesting the CUP to have auto repair at this location. Should he sell the property
to a non-auto user, sta? is recommending that this CUP be withdrawn.
Chair Sepulvado asked about if the auto used did not move forward what would be
the process. Sta? said they still would need a change of occupancy permit and the
use would dictate what needed to be done to the building.
Commissioner Robbins asked what exactly the Board was acting on. Sta?
explained that there was vehicle repair at this site that stopped when A?inity
Plumbing purchased the building and used it as its o?ices. The applicant is now
asking for a CUP for vehicle repair since that previous use had expired. Vehicle sales
would be prohibited.
Applicant Mr. Monsrud spoke. Property is under contract for another use and this
would not be needed. This is a back up in case the sale does not close. Chair
Sepulvado asked about the parking arrangement. Spots in the rear would be
employee parking and parking in the front. Commissioner Robbins asked about
how many vehicles could be repaired. Monsrud stated this would be for a potential
renter that would need to meet all the terms. Commissioners stated that he is the
property owner.
Commissioner Forsythe asked is eliminating the paint booth worked. The applicant
stated that if there were any body work it would be PDR (Paintless Dent Removal).
That would be a condition of any lease. Chair Sepulvado said as a landlord, you will
be responsible that the tenant upholds all of the conditions which he stated yes.
Motion made by Commissioner Forsythe seconded by Robbins. Passed
unanimously
Commissioner Forsythe moved to approve Resolution PC2025-002, approving a
Conditional Use Permit for Vehicle repair and service in the B-1, Highway Business
Zone for 936 First Avenue East. Seconded by Commissioner Ranua. Approved
