ADJOURNMENT SITE DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW Special Meeting of February 13, 1975 Staff Report SDR 4-75 Applicant 's Request The applicant is proposing to construct a concrete block building to be occupied by an automotive repair and towing operation. This is a conditional use in the C-3 zone and has been approved by the City Council, upon appeal, with the following condition: That wrecked vehicles not be stored on the site and that any other outside storage of vehicles should be screened. Staff Findings 1. The staff is concerned that the site is not of sufficient size to properly support the proposed development. This is the result of the property being bisected by a drainage way which renders the rear portion unuseable and also by a non- conforming use in the form of a single family dwelling which is proposed to share the frontage with the proposed repair garage. A relevant point in this regard is the fact that the tax lot represented as the applicant 's when applying for the conditional use permit was shown as being measureabl larger than it actually is (1.4 acres versus .86 of an acre. The staff is sure that this error was unintentional and is not suggesting that any impropriety exists. However, it is a fact that the conditional use permit was granted to place an auto repair and towing service adjacent the existing house with the understanding that there was 50 feet more of street frontage than shown on the present plan. This represents a new item to be considered by the Design Review Board: is there sufficient useable land area on the site to support both an auto repair towing service and a single family dwelling? 2. Submitted drawings do not address the following items: A. signs; location and design B. grading plan C. rear elevations of building D. building exterior materials and colors Staff has therefore not had an opportunity to address the above issues. 3. The parking lot meets the code requirements for patrons and employees but does not provide for the parking of tow vehicles. The applicant has stated that he had 3 business vehicles parked on his previous business site across Pacific Highway. The above stated-condition of the conditional use , permit requires that the tow vehicles should be screened i from public view. No such area is indicated on the sub- mitted site plan. In addition, the staff finds that the parking plan does not provide sufficient room for backing out and maneuvering. 4. A sight obscuring fence is not provided adjacent the resi- dential zone as required by section 18.60.200 of the Tigard Municipal Code. In addition, in that the applicant has chosen to continue the residential use on the property, the staff questions if this dwelling should not be granted the same consideration provided properly zoned residential uses by also providing the necessary screening. In this regard, the submitted plan proposes removing the car port and drive- way of the subject dwelling in order to provide parking space for the auto repair-towing business. Due to the site 's topography, a fence would not be effective along the boundary of the residential and commercial zones and possibly this money would be better spent in screening the existing house. 5. Parking provided for the house meets minimum parking stan- dards but is located in a 10 ' set back area where landscaping is required. Staff Recommendation Staff is concerned that an effort is being made to "squeeze" the proposed auto repair-towing business and existing house onto too small an area being a detriment to both. The staff finds that the best solution to this problem is to remove the house, thereby providing sufficient space for the proposed business. In fact, the house appears to be located in the proper location for the proposed building. Following this recommendation will result in a better utilization of the applicant' s property by providing room for the existing business as well as expansion space. The house therefore appears to present a liability as regards the commercial development of this property. The recommended action is tabling to allow a revision of the site plan according to the staff recommendation.
