THIS ITEM WAS HEARD AT THE 233 <br />NOVEMBER 23, 2015 QUARTERLY PUBLIC HEARING 234 <br /> 235 <br />Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 236 <br /> 237 <br />Michael Harvey reviewed abstract 238 <br /> 239 <br />Laura Nicholson: Why has this become more of an issue? 240 <br /> 241 <br />Michael Harvey: The County has been receiving complaints related to the storage and display of vehicles being 242 <br />offered for sale, specifically too many cars being placed on a parcel of property blocking or impeding access for both 243 <br />customers and emergency vehicles. 244 <br /> 245 <br />Patricia Roberts: I don’t think the allowed numbers of display vehicles is enough. 246 <br /> 247 <br />Herman Staats: Where did the number of cars displayed come from? 248 <br /> 249 <br />Michael Harvey: Ultimately the recommended numbers were designed to allow for approximately 20% of the property 250 <br />to be used in support of motor vehicle display allowing for the remaining area to satisfy setback, office, customer 251 <br />parking, and required land use buffer development. 252 <br /> 253 <br />James Lea: Does this address the storage of vehicles off-site? 254 <br /> 255 <br />Michael Harvey: This amendment would not address or impact vehicles being stored on another property or prohibit 256 <br />same. Such storage would be treated as a separate, independent, land use and have to be permitted in accordance 257 <br />with the provisions of the UDO. 258 <br /> 259 <br />Lydia Wegman: if vehicles stored on the property, and screened from view, would be counted as part of the display 260 <br />limit. 261 <br /> 262 <br />Michael Harvey: They would not be counted unless parked within the designated vehicle display area for the 263 <br />property. Staff is providing an option allowing for the storage of vehicles not intended or ready for sale/rental onsite. 264 <br /> 265 <br /> 11
