Analysis
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The property at 301 N Belt Line Rd has a non-conforming use for Auto Tire Sales and Installation. The business is named Car Zone. The earliest Certificate of Occupancy for tire sales at this site was issued in 1984. Current zoning requires a Specific Use Permit to operate a tire sales use in a General Retail (GR) District. The business has outgrown its existing space and a significant expansion is proposed. The applicant is requesting a Specific Use Permit for Auto Tire Sales and Installation with Outdoor Displays in order to bring the property into a conforming status and to expand the use. Additionally, a new use is proposed that requires a Specific Use Permit within a General Retail (GR) District; Quick Lube and Tune Services (Oil Changes with minor auto repair).
