Ordinance 05-2019: Second introduction of an ordinance amending the Broadway/County Line Commercial Center planned development (AutoNation Ford), entitled the "6th Amendment to Broadway/County Line Commercial Center PD"
Body
Presented By:
Karl Onsager, Planner I
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION / BACKGROUND:
The applicant requests amending the Broadway/County Line Commercial Center planned development. More specifically, the amendment would allow hail canopies as an approved structure on a portion of the property.
The applicant seeks to install permanent hail canopies to protect inventory parked on the site from severe weather events. The amendment does not impact gross floor area because the hail canopies are permeable and open on all sides. The placement of the canopies over parking areas does not impact required unobstructed open space.
PRIOR ACTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS:
Council approved the original planned development plan for the property in 1985. Council approved subsequent amendments to the plan in 1988, 1991, and 1999. Minor administrative amendments occurred in 1991 and 1995.
The ordinance was approved on first reading on March 5, 2019.
