November 10, 2021 Centerville City Council Page 4 of 12 RE: Shingle Creek Capital, LLC Ï Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit ÑBuilding supply sales and storage yardsÒ are allowed by CUP in both the B-1 and B-2 districts, but Ñwithin building onlyÒ in the B-2 district. The proposed use needs B-1 zoning to operate with its storage yard for materials and supplies. Surrounding uses include Rumble Motor Sports (motorcycle sales and service) to the west, ADL Auto Repair, and Noble Welding & Manufacturing to the east, none of which are typical Main Street retail uses. Across the pond to the south is the CityÔs industrial park. Across Main Street to the north is MidWestOne Bank, the future Kwik Trip gas station, and a vacant commercial site in Rehbein plat, all of which are zoned B-2. The portions of the zoning map below show what the pattern of zoning in the area is now and what it would be if the requested rezoning from B-2 to B-1 is approved. SITE ISSUES Soil Correction The applicant notes that there are Ñsubsurface environmental conditionsÒ on the east lot that make it difficult and expensive (or unlikely) that a building could be built on that lot. Therefore, its use as outdoor storage and parking is logical and reasonable at this time. Lot Depth As noted above, the parcels are deep north-south, about 585 ft total with about 450 ft of usable space north of the pond. This is fairly deep for typical retail lots and much deeper than many of the other B-2 lots on Main Street. Smaller retail sites typically rely on close visibility and access, making it less likely that a site this deep could attract a small retail use.
