of the criminal activity in the area. There currently is landscaping on the property. He is
interested in repairing foreign cars on the property.
Mr. Gibson stated that the southeast corner of 25 Street and Grange Avenue is where Mr.
Taylor wants to secure the parking area that is located between the building and Grange Avenue.
He is requesting a variance for the type of fence and for the height of the fence. The fence is to

Hold a Public Hearing to consider a conditional use request for an Urban Infill
Redevelopment Project to allow a change of use from residential to commercial for a non-
conforming property located at 715 W. 1" Street.
Representatives Bill Burkett and Robin Parkhouse were present. Mr. Burkett stated that the
building was previously used as a residence and is currently being refurbished. They would like
to have a professional office there and they agree with staff s recommendations. Mr. Parkhouse
owns the property to the east and is looking at doing the same thing at that location. It is the
owner's intention to combine the two parcels and have a cross access. The professional offices
are consistent to what is across the street. They would like to install a wooden fence along the
west property line.
Mr. Gibson stated that once the conditional use is approved, the next obligation by the applicant
is to submit a site plan addressing the issues including the fence. Staff recommends amending
item 2 under the staff recommendation regarding the compliance with the Gateway Corridor
requirements for signage by negating the signage to meet Gateway Corridor because it is not
within the corridor area. The new sign regulations that are being reviewed will allow a sign up
to 50 square feet. Staff could work with the applicant in regards to the new sign regulations and
also on the site design.
Mr. Lowell moved to approve per staff s recommendations with the change on item 2 to move
the signage from the Gateway Corridor requirements to the new revised sign regulations and
applicant is to work with staff. Mr. Robert seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.

where the vehicles are dried and left for the owner to pick up. The lube bay is approximately
120 ft. back from road and approximately 97 ft. from the road to the car wash tunnel.
Mr. Gibson stated that between the building line and the road the City does not want the outside
activities because of appearance along the corridor. This project is not under the Gateway
standards with regards to the landscaping and signage. He is not aware of any regulations
regarding bay door location restrictions.
Allan VanKampkin stated that he understands the front of the building issue, but the vacuum
area is at the rear and that is were the workers would handle the clean out area. Only the drying
will be performed out front. Tropical Corners is the name of the car wash facility. It will be
professionally landscaped with professionally dressed workers and they can keep the towels from
being left hanging out front. The hours of operation will be 7 days a week - 8:00 AM to 6:00
