Application No. 85014
Applicant: Silver Lake Leasing
Location: 4315-70th Avenue North
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to operate an automobile leasing
office out of the commercial building at 4315-70th Avenue North (also occupied by
Sun Maintenance) . The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north
by 70th Avenue North, on the east by the Duoos Brothers Legion Post and on the
southwest by Brooklyn Printing and other small businesses along Brooklyn Boulevard.
Automobile and truck rental and leasing is a special use in the C2 zoning district.
The applicant has submitted a brief letter explaining that the activity at 4315-70th
Avenue North will only be a leasing office. No cars will be stored on the site.
Nor will vehicles be picked up or dropped off at the site. Traffic generated by
the use will consist of employee and customer traffic. The applicant has informed
staff that leased cars will be picked up and dropped off at auto dealerships in
this general area of the Twin Cities. Since the site has sufficient parking for
office use of the building only, it must be established, for the record, that the
site will not be used as a storage area or pick-up/drop-off location for auto-
mobiles or other vehicles. The Commission should request the applicant to state
clearly for the record that the site at 4315-70th Avenue North will not be used
for storage or transfer of vehicles to be leased by the leasing office.
Aside from the concern regarding parking, staff have no misgivings about an office
use locating in the building at 4315-70th Avenue North. Office uses are permitted
in the C2 zoning district. Approval is, therefore, recommended, subject to at
least the following conditions :
1 . There shall be no storage or transfer of vehicles at the site
or on the neighboring Legion Club. Office use only is permitted
at 4315-70th Avenue North.
2. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the facility
and is non-transferable.
3. The permit is subject to all applicable codes , ordinances and
regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
