John Dulmer, City Planning Consultant explained that the original application submitted was
revised and distributed the new revised staff report. He then described the revised petition and
gave a brief background of the property. Mr. Dulmerreviewed the findings in the staff report with
the Board. He explained that the revised petition is requesting the expansion of the non-
conforming structure. Mr. Dulmer further explained that the revised request will be more
beneficial to everyone. He explained that the subject property will not have an adverse effect on
public interest or the surrounding properties. The subject property is an appropriate location for
continuing a car wash use and will not adversely affect property values or living conditions nor be
a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. The subject property will not create a density
pattern that will overburden public facilities such as schools, streets and public utility services and
will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety
as the facilities are existing. Staff recommends granting approval of Petition 02-001-V, variance
request to allow for the expansion of a non-conforming structure and may require additional steps
above and beyond standard Code requirements to protect the health and welfare of the City and
adjacent property owners upon receipt ofthe site plan review.
