The shopping center property is zoned C2 and is bounded on the east by Logan Avenue North, on the southeast by Acme Typewriter, on the south by 57th Avenue North and on the northwest by Highway 100. Auto leasing operations are a special use in the C2 zoning district. The applicant has submitted two letters describing the proposed auto leasing operation. The operation would be located in the north building at Northbrook Shopping Center between Pilgrim Cleaners and Carpet King in an 800 sq. ft. space. Hours would be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday -Friday and 9:00 a.m. until noon on Saturday. No repairs would be conducted at this location. The first letter from Mr. Alan Lampe describing the operations states there may be a need for 10 to 12 parking spaces and most of the time less than five. The second letter clarifies that cars will not be displayed at this location, only picked up and dropped off. Overnight storage of cars will be occasional and customers may occasionally return cars after hours. Cars are taken to the auction for resale or shipped to car sales lots nationwide. In general, we see no zoning conflicts with the proposed leasing operation. Under the City's Zoning Ordinance, a leasing office is a permitted use, provided there is no sales, display or storage of products at the site of the leasing office. In this case, we have classified the operation as a special use because it appears there will be at least some incidental storage of vehicles. The retail parking requirement for the 800 sq. ft. space to be used is approximately 4.4 spaces. Because of the change in the ordinance formula, there is a slight surplus of spaces at Northbrook Plaza. If the proposed use does not require more than 10 to 12 spaces at any time, there certainly should be no parking problem at the shopping center, but we do not wish to imply that approval of this leasing operation should confer a license to park as many cars as the lot will hold. Other retail businesses must be able to function. The storage function of this operation should be minimal. We would, therefore, recommend a limit on the number of rental vehicles of not more than 15. Recommendation Approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The total number of rental cars on the site at any one time shall not exceed 15. Application No. 91023 continued 2. The special use permit is granted for an auto leasing operation. Any change in the use involving more vehicles, trucks or marine craft shall require approval of an amendment to this special use permit. 3. There shall be no service, repair or maintenance of leased or stored vehicles at this site. 4. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. Submitted by, Gary Shall cross Planner Approved by, Ronald A.

The application was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its December 5, 1991, meeting. The Director of Planning and Inspection reviewed the application as contained in the Planning Commission information sheet attached to the December 5, 1991, Planning Commission meeting minutes.

APPLICATION NO. 91023 (Altra Auto Rental) The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for special use permit approval to conduct an auto leasing operation at Northbrook Plaza at 1912 57th Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 91023, attached). Commissioner Johnson asked whether there were any restrictions in City Ordinances regarding overnight parking. ' The Secretary responded in the negative. He stated that the City only restricted parking on public streets. Commissioner Johnson asked whether there was any problem that the police might have with overnight parking. The Secretary stated that the police could make a check on a regular basis if they had theft problems. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the cars were identified 'as belonging to 12-5-91 5 Altra Auto Rental. An unidentified gentleman representing the applicant responded in the affirmative, noting that there was a sticker on each of the cars. Commissioner Bernards asked regarding dropping off cars and a lock box for keys, etc. Mr. Lampe, the applicant, stated that a drop box could be provided. He stated that most cars are returned before closing time. Commissioner Johnson wondered whether the operation might lead to car theft problems as had been experienced at Brookdale. The unidentified gentleman stated that the problem could be eliminated by letting the customer keep the keys since the rental agency would also have a set of keys for each car. The customer could then return the keys the following day. In response to a question from the Secretary, Mr. Alan Lampe of Altra Auto Rental stated that it was not their purpose to display the cars, just handle the demand for rental cars on a daily basis. He stated that they did not want to disturb other tenants in the shopping center by.having displays of cars for sale. PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 91023) Chairperson Malecki then opened the meeting for a public hearing and noted that there was no one else present to speak regarding the application.
