Body
Description/Background:
The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission review and approve the preliminary Site Plan for an addition to the north side of the dealership building consisting of new service bays and employee parking on the lower level and a new vehicle inventory display terrace on a new second level in the Auto Mall (Dealership) (AM) zoning district. A parking structure/terrace is a conditional use in the AM zoning district. The Planning Commission is the approval body for both land use actions.
Mr. Kyle Lane, of Archstone Group, building contractor and Mr. Kelly Nielson, Architect, applicants, are requesting approval to construct an addition to the existing Mark Miller Subaru Dealership, located at 10920 South State Street in the Southtowne Automall. The applicants are requesting that the Planning Commission review and approve the Preliminary Site Plan for an expansion of the service shop area and the construction of a two level vehicle inventory display terrace on the north side of the existing dealership building. The zoning of the surrounding area is Auto Mall (Dealership Area) (AM). The automotive sales dealership is a permitted use in the (AM) zoning district. The initial dealership was built in 2000 by a prior owner and was expanded in 2012 by the current owner. A parking structure/terrace is a Conditional Use in the (AM) zoning district.
