SPECIAL
USE
In 1996, this site was annexed into the city with a zoning designation of C-4 (Freeway Commercial).
A short plat request for a 4-parcel commercial subdivision was brought before the Planning & Zoning Commission and City council in 1998 and was approved.
There have been no rezone or comprehensive plan map amendments since the site annexation in 1996.
In 2004 the Airport Overlay Zone was adopted, and this area is in the APO-1 overlay zone.
The site has historically been vacant with no structures or buildings on site.

Zoned Light Industrial
Today’s requests consists of the applicant's proposal for a Special Use Permit in the Freeway Commercial Zone for a Truck and Tractor Repair, Service & Tire Repair/Sales Store.
The purpose of the C-4 (Freeway Commercial) zone is to provide areas in the vicinity of freeway interchanges and frontage access roads for the purpose of providing travel related services
to highway users.
The proposed business is surrounded by Freeway Commercial uses and vacant land.
Tire repair and sales is a directly permitted use within the zone, however, truck and tractor repair and service requires a special use permit.
Staff finds the use, is a compatible use with the surrounding uses and the zoning as conditioned.

Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Commercial & Service
Commercial & Service
The site comprehensive plan map designation is Commercial & Service.
The site is mostly surrounded by Commercial & Service comprehensive plan map designation and manufacturing and production to the south.
While this site is also adjacent to areas designated as environmentally sensitive, in these locations that is just indicating that the site is adjacent to the interstate interchange
as well as a canal to the south.
The south boundary of the parcel has a 20 ft wide utility and drainage easement for the High Line Canal and the applicant has remained outside this easement.

Staff Review and Analysis
Staff has determined the requested use is compatible with the surrounding uses provided the requested buffer modification is approved and meets the intent of the zoning Freeway Commercial.
Staff further determined that this use is located within the APO-1 OVERLAY ZONE, however, it is not a noise sensitive use as listed in Caldwell City Code 10-11-05: NOISE SENSITIVE
USES and is therefore permitted. The access off aviation is preferable by both the City and ITD. Though parking on the adjacent parcel has been reduced to accommodate the new access
point, staff has reviewed the parking numbers and both sites will continue to meet City parking requirements.
