Stewarts seek conditional use to open Centurion/Supreme boat dealership at 4851 Shoreline Drive
Summary
Ron and Katie Stewart presented a proposal to repurpose 4851 Shoreline Drive for boat sales, limited service and appointment-based demos. Development staff said marine sales and open storage require a conditional use permit and a substantial-use determination or code amendment to allow boat-related service activities.
Development Director Sarah Smith introduced a council introduction for a reuse proposal at 4851 Shoreline Drive and said the city had mailed notice to neighbors within 350 feet. Property owners and prospective tenants — Jan Gunther Knudsen and Ron and Katie Stewart — described plans to operate as the region's Centurion and Supreme boat dealer, sell by appointment, offer lessons and demos, and perform limited service such as winterization and warranty repairs on-site.
The Stewarts emphasized minimal outside storage and low traffic expectations: "It's not a high traffic type of situation where there's a lot of cars coming and going all day," Katie Stewart said, noting most activity would be appointment-based and spring/fall busiest. Development staff said marine sales and display and open storage are conditional uses in the mixed-use corridor district; service activities that are not explicitly listed would require either a substantial-use determination (planning commission review and council action) or a zoning amendment. Smith outlined a target timeline with Planning Commission review in August and a potential council public hearing in late August or early September, contingent on required notices.
