Bruce Carland, Case No. 2498 Page 2 LandscaDing The fenced enclosure is over 250' from Long Lake Road and sits behind a landscaped berm which screens it from Long Lake Road. No additional landscaping is proposed. Liqhtinq The fenced enclosure will be lit by existing lights which are attached to the building. No additional lighting is proposed. Zoninq Code References The standard criteria in the Code for consideration of Special Use Permits include impacts on traffic, parks, streets, etc., compatibility with the site and surrounding uses, and compatibility with the Comp Plan. The proposed use does not raise concerns on any of these issues, except the impact on surr:ounding uses, which will be minor depending on the exact desiqn and appearance of the fenced area. 3. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION The proposed use of the space for the maintenance of vehicles for a valuable public agency like the FBI does not include many of the objectionable features associated with other auto service uses, and is compatible with the intent of the B-4 District and the existing character of the CSM building. We recommend approval of the Special Use Permit request with the following conditions: 1) That all maintenance of vehicles be conducted entirely within the principal building. 2) That the facility be used for the maintenance of vehicles owned and operated by the FBI or agencies with whom they have direct involvement, and that the facility not be used in any way that will involve advertising or offering of goods or services to the public. 3) That the design, appearance, and materials of the fenced enclosure be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. 4) That the applicant and lessor agree to maintain the fenced area in good repair at all times.
