The current permit allows "Alex's Lawn and Turf, LLC to operate a landscaping business..." at 7087 20th Ave. South. The applicant is requesting a change to their CUP to allow additional bins and the retail sale of landscaping materials to its customers. Site History Records indicate that Eagle Trucking (which was a dirt excavation company) owned the property at 7087 20th Ave. S. and was in the building in 1988 until the City purchased it in 2000. The City of Centerville's Public Works Department, then, operated from the building until 2008. The building sat vacant until 2014 when Alex's Lawn and Turf, LLC purchased, renovated, and commenced operation on the site and has been operating there since. The site has been zoned Business (B-1) since at least the late 1980's with the exception of the period where the city owned it, when it was changed to "Public(P-1)". The City rezoned the property from P-1 back to B-1 in early 2013 as the City was no longer utilizing the property. Returning the property to the B-1 zoning matched the abutting zoning of properties along 20th Avenue and was consistent with the existing growth management plan from the city's adopted comprehensive plan. The city's current comprehensive plan continues to guide this property for Commercial use.
