PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is seeking site plan approval allowing for the final permitting, construction and operation of a major auto repair facility consisting of three single story buildings on one lot. The 0.818 acre vacant lot is zoned Heavy Industrial (HI) District and lies with the Central Business District No. 4. Major Auto Repair uses are allowed by right within the HI zoning district; however, new development with CBD-4 requires City Council approval of the site plan.
Tiger Auto Sales (Camden Used Auto Center) is the current applicant and has recently developed the property located approximately 200’ north of this site. Currently, the vacant industrial property consists of five (5) separate lots and an associated replat is on the current agenda for the Commission’s consideration to combine the properties into one single lot. The site is generally flat terrain, gentle sloping east. There is evidence of past open storage uses on the properties. Utilities are available to serve the site.
The applicant proposes two (2) 3,200 square foot auto shops and one (1) 1,800 square foot shop. All three shops will consist of a combination of brick exterior construction generally facing the street and R-panel steel along the remaining side of the buildings.
• (2) 3,200 sq. ft. Major Auto Repair Shops (8 spaces per unit including 1 accessible space)
• (1) 1,800 sq. ft. Major Auto Repair Shop (5 parking spaces, including 1 accessible space)
• Masonry dumpster enclosure per City Standards.
• No Auto Salvage
As proposed, the development complies with the dimensional and setback requirements for the LI district. The primary customer entry will be two commercial drives via Camden Drive with adequate customer and employee parking designated for each shop.
The exterior elevations will consist of combination brick primarily up front (facing street) with the remaining sides consisting of steel, R-Panel construction.
Adequate landscaping is provided (20 %), which exceeds the minimum 4% requirement. The site provides for eight (8) street trees and four (4) on-site canopy trees, and multiple shrubs.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as appropriate for Industrial uses. The FLUM indicates Heavy Industrial category. The proposed use is consistent with the current FLUM designation.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee recommends approval.
