Co. Rd. D ACTION REQUESTED: Special Use Permit PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. BACKGROUND Snappy Car Rental is a tenant in the office building at 2310 County Road D. Snappy operates as a return depot for cars that are then taken to their storage lot in Bloomington. The owners of the building are applying for a special Use Permit for this auto rental use under the standards adopted last year for such uses. 2. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS The property is guided B - Business, and zoned B-2. Auto rental and leasing businesses are special Uses in this district. A copy of section 8.365 of the Code concerning auto rental and leasing businesses is attached. Snappy Car Rental occupies 522 square feet of the 7,150-square-foot two-story building. There are 44 parking spaces on site, which is eight more than needed according to Code, at 5 spaces per 1,000 sq ft. Snappy is guaranteed seven of these spaces for its rental cars. The Code requires that the number of parking spaces for rental cars be above and beyond what is required for other uses in the building, and that such parking not interfere with circulation on site. The parking plan meets this part of the Code. The Code also requires a determination that "the storage of vehicles on the premises shall be purely an accessory use, and does not al ter the appearance or character of the property" . Snappy occupies 7% of the office space and, with three employees and seven reserved parking spaces, takes up 10 of the 44 parking spaces, or 23% of the total. We do not believe this will alter the character of the office setting.
