PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is seeking approval of an amendment a Specific Use Permit (SUP 502) and site plan. The applicant desires to remove the existing fuel canopy and construct a new fuel canopy behind the primary structure. The property was replatted in 2002; the proposed amendment will include an amendment to the site plan to include the area added in the 2002 replat, which now serves as the truck parking/storage area.
PROPOSED USE AND CHARACTERISTICS
Nothing will change about this site’s current operation and use. In order to permit the construction of a new fuel canopy, an amendment must be made to the existing site plan. Staff prefers this area as it lies to the west of the primary structure, which will be less noticeable from the right-of-way. This amendment will also allow the site plan to include the 4.9 acres acquired by the property owner, which now serves as the truck parking/storage area. Private wash bays and private vehicle maintenance facilities no longer require a specific use permit, but storing trucks and operating a private fueling station will still require the approved specific use permit.
Amendments to the existing Specific Use Permit's site plan will add the elevation drawings of the proposed fueling canopy, the site plan will show the new location for the proposed fueling canopy, and site plan will include the area of land added in the 2002 replat, which now serves as the truck parking/storage area.
ZONING HISTORY
In 1989, the United Parcel Service (UPS) was approved for a specific use permit, with its accompanying site plan, to allow for vehicle maintenance, vehicle fueling and storage, and a wash bay; case number SU890201. The property was approximately 4 acres. It was soon after developed and used for UPS’s truck leasing facility. In 2002, a replat was approved to expand the truck parking area. The replat created an 8.9 acre lot.
In April of 2014, Penske Trucking submitted permits to construct a new fueling canopy and to install new fuel tanks which are proposed to be behind the primary structure to the west of the existing wash bay. As part of this process the existing fuel canopy and storage tanks will be removed.
Private wash bays and private vehicle maintenance facilities no longer require a specific use permit, but storing trucks and operating a private fueling station will still require the approved specific use permit.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as appropriate for Light Industrial Uses. Staff has determine that if approved the use will be in conformance with the 2010 Comprehensive Plan.

None
RECOMMENDATION:
