_I <br />J UN 1 199`x, <br />BOOK F� F,,�,UE 36 <br />2. No automotive. repair or maintenance activities, other <br />than draining and replacement of petroleum products or <br />minor part replacement (such as wipers, headlights), <br />shall be permitted." <br />Staff agrees that a specific use classification listing should be <br />established that covers quick oil change type facilities. Fur- <br />thermore, it is staff's opinion that since such uses so closely <br />resemble the maintenance service (and thus, use) characteristics <br />of the old traditional service station, it is logical to allow <br />this use in the same districts that gasoline service stations are <br />allowed. <br />Times have changed. Many of the traditional service functions of <br />service stations are being performed by quick change places; these <br />include oil and oil filter changes, transmission and brake fluid <br />changes, radiator fluid changes, as well as minor maintenance <br />parts replacement (lights, wiper blades). The noise and hazardous <br />waste generated by these activities warrant separation from <br />residential areas, just as the code now requires separation of <br />service stations from residential districts. <br />Although the applicant references the characteristics of his <br />particular operation, it should be noted that quick change op- <br />erations vary. Quick change establishments operate in open <br />garages with repair equipment and can have noise generation <br />characters similar to a gasoline service station. <br />ALTERNATIVES: <br />Staff proposes alternatives to the requested amendment, which <br />would: <br />1. establish a new use listing entitled "Automotive fluid <br />products sales and service other than gasoline"; <br />2. allow the use in the following districts: CL by administra- <br />tive permit; CG,. CH, and IL as a permitted use; and IG by <br />administrative permit. <br />3. establish -administrative permit criteria that would: <br />a. allow service• of automobiles only within enclosed <br />buildings; <br />b. prohibit auto repair or painting; maintenance services <br />would be restricted to the draining and replacement of <br />fluids and minor parts replacement (filters, lights, <br />wipers); <br />C. prohibit outdoor storage; - <br />d. require proper handling, storage and disposal of gen- <br />erated hazardous wastes <br />e. require the storing of flammable liquids in underground <br />tanks; and <br />*f. require a 100' separation distance from residential <br />districts, as presently required with gasoline service <br />stations). <br />*[Note: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that <br />proposed criterion "f" be deleted from the ordinance] <br />These changes would cover all automotive fluid and minor parts <br />replacement uses and would treat them as gasoline service stations <br />have been treated in the past. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the <br />attached proposed ordinance relating to automotive fluid products <br />sales and service other than gasoline, with the 100' separation <br />distance requirement. <br />36 <br />
