The area to the north is zoned"A-1"Apartment House District and"AT"Apartment-Tourist District and remains undeveloped;the area to the south is zoned"B-4"General Business District and portions remain undeveloped while the remainder is developed with a hotel: the area to the east is zoned"B-4"General Business District and is developed with an auto sales dealership;and the area to the west is zoned'R-1B"One-family Dwelling District and"B-4" General Business District and remains undeveloped. Mr. Saldana stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning in order to provide an area for the outside storage of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. The existing "B-4" District requires all storage to occur in an enclosed building and prohibits outside storage,including vehicles. The proposed outside storage would be located on the north 1.38 acres of the subject property. This area abuts undeveloped land to the north and west and the auto repair portion of the auto dealership to the east.

The subject property is in the Southeast Area Development Plan which recommends to area to develop with general commercial uses. The requested "1-2" District is not consistent with the Area Development Plan. Staff recommends denial of the "1-2" District. and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for the outside storage of motor vehicles,recreational vehicles and boats subject to a site plan and the following conditions: I) USES. The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than those permitted by right in the "B-4" District is the outside storage of motor vehicles (under 2 tons), recreational vehicles, boats and boat trailers. Allowance of the outside storage does not include the storage of wrecked or inoperable vehicles. 2) SCREENING. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet must be installed and maintained along the north property line, and the north 137 feet of the east and west property lines.
