Subject: (EXCP- 2-12-1356) Special Exception Use request to operate Auto/Truck sales (used) dealership on less than 2 acres located at 4250 Miller Road.


Donald R. Jones and Carson Cummings have submitted an application for the Special Exception Use cited above. The property is located in a GC (General Commercial)/NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district. The site for the proposed dealership is approximately 1.63 acres. The applicant has submitted a site plan, which is attached. The purpose of the Special Exception Use is to allow for the operation of an auto sales dealership on less than 2 acres:

Thirteen (13) property owners within 300 feet of the property have been notified by mail of the proposed Special Exception Use. To date, the Planning Department has received one neutral comment regarding this request.

Additional Information: The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property from NC (Neighborhood Commercial)/GC (General Commercial) to GC (General Commercial) where a Special Exception Use must be obtained before operation of a car/truck dealership under 2 acres.

The Planning Advisory Commission recommended approval at the March 21, 2012 meeting.

The Planning Department recommends that the Council approves the use because the application for a Special Exception use meets the criteria for approval.


Respectfully,
Rick Jones, AICP
Director, Planning Department
