Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Case No. 2512 Page 2 Planning Considerations The proposed use is appropriate for the location - on a major collector street, near the freeway, with easy access in and out of the site. The size of the use is relatively small for industrial properties and the expected number of customers per day, 20 to 25, should not have a major impact on the surrounding businesses or on traffic on County Road C. Based on information supplied by the applicant (summarized in the attached narrative), there appears to be ample parkil1g available on site. There are 55 spaces for the building and only 23 spaces needed according to our Code ratios. These 23 spaces include the office space for this use. Twenty-five of the extra 32 spaces on site could then be reserved for rental car parking. The use will easily be able to meet the requirement for parking above and beyond the other uses in the building. Enterprise proposes to wash and vacuum the cars inside the building, in a portion of their 1,800 square feet of space at the north end of their leased area. No other maintenance or repair will be done on site. This satisfies the second requirement above. The rental business will occupy the space closest to county Road C and the parking spaces allotted to it will be at that end of the parking lot. They indicate a maximum of 25 cars will be parked on site and 5 to 10 cars parked overnight. with the number of cars involved and their arrangement on site, we believe circulation and access should function well. As with any Special Use Permit, the city may ask that the property be brought into compliance with all applicable standards. The existing building is metal sided, but is in good condition. The parking lot is paved and curbed with grass lawn in the front yard, and two small trees in front of this building. With the addition of a row of low shrubs in front of the parking area, most of the appearance code would be met. 3. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION The proposed use meets the standards relating to car rental businesses in the Code. We recommend approval of the Special Use Permit with the following conditions: 1) ~hat 25 parking spaces be reserved on site for the rental cars. 2) That all washing, vacuuming, and other car preparation be done completely within the building. No car repair or other maintenance is to be done on site.
