Synergy Motor Car Company (tenant) and Roseville Properties (owner/manager) have requested a conditional use permit to allow rental and leasing of motor vehicles, including resale, at 1900 Oakcrest Avenue. The property located at 1900 Oakcrest Avenue has a zoning of 1-1, Light Industrial, a current land use of "I", Industrial, and a future land use of "B", Business. The Light Industrial District allows rental and leasing of vehicles as a conditional use permit. Specifically, Section 1 007 .02D12 states: Rental and leasing of motor vehicles including the resale of motor vehicles previously rented or leased by the leasing or rental business owner (September 1979). Thomas Paschke noted there are no obvious impacts. Staff recommended approval with conditions: a. The use of the premises, Suite 9, 1900 Oakcrest Avenue, being used as a vehicle rental, leasing, and sales business with daily operations including, title work, accounting, financing, and other business related activities. b. The tenant space being divided into an office of approximately 1,400 sq. ft. and a vehicle showroom of approximately 4,600 sq. ft. c. The allowance of a 6 to 10 vehicle outdoor display area in the parking lot. d. No overnight outdoor storage of vehicles is allowed on the premises. All vehicles must be stored within the showroom each evening. e. All signage pertaining to this use must meet the requirements of Section 1009 of the Roseville City Code. Chair Duncan asked why vehicles must be parked indoors over night. (This is a rental and leasing operation). Member Bakeman asked for the difference between Enterprise locations and this proposal. Peter Downs, Bill Manor, Blake Alder, representing Synergy, stated that Minnesota requires three licenses: sales, leasing/broker and used car sales. Will they be in compliance with the conditional use permit? (Yes) Chair Duncan asked for clarification for condition "d" requiring indoor evening sales. Thomas Paschke noted that the owner (Roseville Properties) has requested the condition in the permit requiring indoor storage, which is also in the lease. Member Mulder said he supported indoor storage as a site specific condition for this unique site. Member Peper asked for concerns of tenants applicants. Chair Duncan asked the applicant for concerns - will work with landlord. There being no further comments, Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Bakeman, to, recommend approval of a conditional use permit for Roseville Properties and Synergy Motor Car Company to occupy a portion of 1900 Oakcrest Avenue (Suite 9) as a vehicle rental and leasing business, based on the findings of Section 4 and the conditions of Section 5 of the project report dated July 10, 2002.
