PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit request for additional accessory structures at 735 5th Ave West Robbins moved to open the public hearing and seconded by Sandhu. Staff 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. Staff 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. Staff 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. 3 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. Staff presented that Clay Monsrud (owner of Affinity Plumbing), property owner, is requesting the CUP to have auto repair at this location. Should he sell the property to a non -auto user, staff is recommending that this CUP be withdrawn. Chair Sepulvado asked about if the auto used did not move forward what would be the process. Staff 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. Staff explained that there was vehicle repair at this site that stopped when Affinity Plumbing purchased the building and used it as its offices. 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.
