The use shall provide for efficient internal circulation of vehicles on site. 2. All service stations located within an IG District shall be subject to the restrictions and requirements of the applica- ble fire department, in order to ensure adequate separation from heavy industrial uses which may pose a safety hazard. [Not applicable in the CL district.] 3. All tanks and facilities for the storage of gasoline petrole- um oils and other flammable liquids shall be located under- ground and shall be subject to all setback requirements of the applicable district. 4. No outdoor storage shall be permitted.. 5. No site shall abut or be located within one hundred (100) feet of a residential district." Proposed Changes: It is the applicant's opinion that the administrative permit criteria cited above do not appropriately apply to a quick oil change facility, since some of the criteria are in place to deal with the safety and fire hazards of gasoline fuel storage. In particular, the applicant is opposed to criterion #5, which requires a 100' separation distance between project sites and any residential district. Application of such a criterion would preclude development of a quick oil change facility on a site the applicant wishes to develop which is currently zoned CL and abuts a single family residential district.. In general, the applicant feels that his quick oil change use generates less traffic, noise, and solid waste than other uses allowed in the CL district that are not required to be separated from residential districts. The applicant cites convenience stores with accessory gasoline sales as an example. The applicant proposes the establishment of a new classification listing, "Automotive Petroleum Products Sales Other Than Gaso- line", to be allowed within the CL district as an administrative permit use with the following criteria: "1. Service of automobiles with petroleum products other, than gasoline shall be within a completely enclosed buildingland outside sales of petroleum products is prohibited. 35 Boor 17 F,�1.) ;3-,
