Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2024-303 - Special Use Permit renewal for auto sales, service & repair - AutoDreams, 1231 SE Century Drive; AutoDreams, LLC, applicant.

Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant requests the renewal of a Special Use Permit to allow the continued operation of automotive sales and also requests the Special Use Permit approval to allow major automotive repair services. The original 2015 Special Use Permit (Ordinance No. 7607) included the condition of approval that “no on-site automotive repair service activities shall take place without the appropriate City approvals, including but not limited to, compliance with applicable UDO, Fire Code and Building Code requirements”. The application uploaded on November 11, 2024, states that due to COVID, and other economic factors, major automotive repair services were added to the business in October of 2020 and are currently conducted on the site. The City was unaware that automotive repair services were being performed on the subject property until the Special Use Permit renewal application was received. Staff has been working with the applicant since that time to bring the subject property into compliance with all City codes and ordinances. Approval of the subject SUP application would bring the subject property into compliance with the UDO’s zoning regulations. The applicant would then continue to work with the City to ensure compliance with all applicable Fire Code and Building Code requirements for the building’s use.
