Staff outlines conditions for auto body shop and used‑car sales across five Richardson Drive lots
Summary
Staff presented a SUP and site plan (SUP‑25‑12‑0047) to unify five Richardson Drive lots, enclose a canopy for a spray booth and add service bays; the site would total about 1.005 acres with 61 parking spaces and 2–4 employees, and staff proposed several conditions including platting the lots into a single lot prior to permit issuance.
Staff described a specific use permit and site plan (SUP‑25‑12‑0047) for auto body and non‑franchise used vehicle sales across five contiguous lots at 519–537 Richardson Drive. Together the parcels total about 1.005 acres; staff said the project would enclose an existing metal canopy to create a spray paint booth and add roughly 1,350 square feet of enclosed area.
Why it matters: staff told commissioners the operation would add a paint booth and two service bays, employ an estimated 2–4 people, and provide 61 parking spaces. Because the proposal spans five unplatted lots, staff recommended a condition requiring the property be platted into a single unified lot before building permits or a certificate of occupancy are issued. Additional recommended conditions include recording a license agreement for right‑of‑way use and reserving specified visitor and employee parking allocations.
Staff also noted the item will go to city council later this month for the associated license agreement. No variances were requested in the briefing and staff emphasized compliance measures and parking allocation before occupancy.

What’s next: the case will proceed to the public hearing and the city council will consider the license agreement on July 21st as part of the project’s conditions.
