Review and Recommendation: |
Motor vehicle repair establishments must receive Use Permit approval in any industrial district per the zoning code. The subject property has had auto repair uses on site for a number of years without incident. This Use Permit request allows for auto repair uses within the buildings located at 6509 W. Frye Road as long as required parking can be provided. Staff was made aware of the auto uses within the building when Voodoo Performance relocated their operations to the subject site. This triggered staff to inform the applicant that Use Permit approval is required for motor vehicle repair within a General Industrial (I-2) district. The subject site is between Kyrene Road and 56th Street on the south side of Frye Road, nestled within an industrial park. There are eight buildings in the industrial park grouped into pairs that are split by a breezeway. Each pair of buildings has its own address. Parking is located along the perimeter of the site. The auto repair uses on site have been compatible with surrounding land uses and have not caused any negative externalities to neighboring properties. Internally, the buildings consist primarily of warehouse space in the form of bays accessible by overhead doors as well as a small percentage (~15-20%) of ancillary office. There are thirty-eight (38) parking spaces flanking the subject building on the west and south, ample to support the warehousing, office, and auto-repair uses. All vehicle repair is conducted entirely indoors within the storage bays and only takes place during business hours. Neighborhood outreach indicated no opposition from surrounding landowners. Considering the amount of time that auto repair uses have been conducted on site and the level of intensity exhibiting compatibility with surrounding land uses, Planning staff has reviewed this request and find it is consistent with the General Plan. |
