Planning commission recommends Royal Gorge Cycles SRU at 227 Main Street to city council
Summary
The Cañon City Planning Commission voted to recommend that city council approve a special review use permitting Royal Gorge Cycles LLC to locate at 227 Main Street, subject to conditions that vehicles be stored indoors, outdoor display be prohibited, and no in-building servicing occur.
The Cañon City Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve a special review use (SRU) allowing Royal Gorge Cycles LLC to occupy 227 Main Street and sell motorcycles and other small recreational vehicles. City staff told the commission the proposal meets the Unified Development Code (Title 17) SRU criteria and recommended adoption of four findings of fact to certify the commission’s jurisdiction.
"As of today, staff has received no phone calls, email, or mail concerning this proposal," city administrator Ryan Stevens reported during his presentation and recommended the commission forward the item to council. Stevens summarized required use-specific standards: vehicles must be stored indoors, outdoor display of vehicles is prohibited, and servicing and repair are not allowed on the premises.
Commissioner Malayko moved to adopt the four findings of fact supporting the SRU; that motion passed by majority vote. The commission then voted, on a motion by Commissioner Clark with a second by Commissioner Clement, to recommend approval to the City Council. Staff said the item will appear on the August 3 city council agenda.
The recommendation includes the standard conditions discussed by staff; the commission did not place additional conditions on hours of operation or vehicle storage beyond the UDC standards. The next procedural step is the city council review on August 3.
