Planning commission recommends M2CM zoning for classic‑car sales at Belmar Drive
Summary
Commission recommended rezoning 1300 Belmar Drive to M2CM (commercial/manufacturing) to allow classic‑car sales, approving a waiver for perimeter landscaping and a DDP with binding elements limiting parking adjacent to Belmar Drive.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend Metro Council approve rezoning for 1300 Belmar Drive to M2CM to permit classic‑car sales and related uses.
Staff said the site sits beside a railroad separation and a mix of industrial and nonresidential uses; the applicant proposed classic‑car sales and no new restoration activities at the site. The request included a waiver to omit a property‑perimeter landscape buffer in a constrained portion of the site; staff found the waiver justified and the DDP met code standards.
Applicant Joseph Dean told commissioners the business will be sales‑only for older vehicles (model year roughly 1972 and earlier), and he agreed to a binding element that prohibits staging or parking in the narrow strip between the building and Belmar Drive. The commission approved the rezoning recommendation, the waiver and the DDP and will forward the recommendation to Metro Council.
