Planning commission approves conditional use permit for small auto dealer at 948–950 N. Main St.
Summary
The Tula City Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit 7-0 June 11 allowing automobile sales and rentals in a flex space behind the Mountain West Ambulance facility, with display limited to vehicles inside the structure and five dedicated parking stalls provided by the property owner.
The Tula City Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit Wednesday allowing automobile sales and rentals at a commercial flex building behind the Mountain West Ambulance facility at 948–950 North Main Street.
The commission voted 7-0 to approve the request from applicant Kenner Fernandez (application no. 2025052) after planning staff recommended approval subject to conditions in a staff report dated June 6, 2025.
Andrew Agard, planning staff, said the property is zoned General Commercial and that the applicant proposes to display four to five vehicles inside a tenant space in a recently constructed flex building behind the ambulance facility. The property owner has dedicated five parking stalls for customer and employee use; Agard said staff does not anticipate more than one or two customers onsite at a time and that staff had no concerns with the proposal.
"He proposes to sell 4 or 5 cars, and the cars will be displayed inside the structure," Agard said. "Staff doesn't really have any concerns with what he's proposing." Agard also noted that notices were sent to adjacent property owners and that staff had not received feedback on the application prior to the hearing.
The motion to approve the conditional use permit was made by Commissioner Proctor and seconded by Commissioner Anderson. The roll call vote was unanimous: Gossett, Proctor, Sloan, Hamilton, Jensen, Anderson and the chair all voted aye.
The approval allows small-scale indoor vehicle display and sales in the identified tenant space; other conditions and standards in the staff report will apply to the permit. The applicant and property owner are responsible for meeting any building, safety and business licensing requirements before operation.
Details from the record: the application number is 2025052; staff estimated the dealer would have roughly two employees and five dedicated parking stalls; the property was described as a new commercial/flex structure located behind the Mountain West Ambulance facility. No public comments were offered at the hearing.
The permit is effective according to the city’s permitting process; the commission’s action was final for the planning permit but the applicant must still complete any required building and business permits before opening.
