Question #1 Please confirm that heavy truck sales are a permitted use.
Response: SDC Section 3.2-410 does not specifically list heavy truck sales as a use in
any zoning district. Automotive, heavy equipment repair is a "permitted" use within the
LMI zone. The primary use of the Kenworth facility will be the reoair and service of
heavy trucks. The majority of the square footage on the site is devoted to repair. As such
staff believes that it is accurate to say that the project is primarily a repair facility. Truck
sales are a secondary use.
The proposed use is a permitted use under the Code.
Other Questions
The remaining questions are transportation and public works related. The City Surveyor
offered an opinion on the status of certain "paper" streets and various vacations of right-
of-way.
Planning staff provided the applicant an exce:;pt from.the Glenwood Refinement Plan that
speaks directly to transportation issues on 22" Street, in the vicinity of the proposed,
development. The Refmement Plan mandates that new development take into
consideration the existing residential development and build interim facilities that avoid
impact on residents on the north side of 22" . In a somewhat contradictory statement, the
Refinement Plan calls for building to accommodate future industrial development in the
area. Transportation Policies #5 and #6 state that the responsibility for making street
improvements in the area will fall upon those property owners initiating the
improvements, and that as an interim measure a 2/3 street will be built with curbs, gutters
and sidewalk being provided on the industrial side.
