Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant is requesting renewal of their special use permit (SUP) for automotive sales and major automotive repair facility which expired on May 16, 2023, and was originally granted for a 10-year duration. The application for the SUP was submitted to the City on March 29, 2023, prior to the expiration of the original SUP.

To remain consistent with the previously approved SUP and comparable SUPs throughout the community, staff is recommending approval of the renewal for a 10-year period. Staff has spoken with the applicant regarding the 10-year recommendation which they are amenable to.
