Louisville City Council Meeting November 20, 2001 Page 15 RESOLUTION NO. 57, SERIES 2001 - SPECIAL REVIEW USE FOR MONSTER MOTOR SPORTS, 465 PIERCE AVENUE, COLORADO TECHNOLOGY CENTER Davidson called for Staff presentation. Principal Planner Ken Johnstone reviewed that the applicant is Monster Motor Sports, a commercial retail operation that offers sales of a variety of new and used recreational vehicles (water craft, motor bikes, ATV, etc. and excluding motor homes and camper trailers). Johnstone explained that the applicant is requesting approval of the Special Review Use to allow for the continued operations of a commercial retail and service operation in the approved CTC Industrial PUD. Sales and repairs of motor vehicles can be permitted as a SRU use in the Industrial (I) zoning district. Johnstone noted that the applicant is currently operating in the building without SRU approval and that a business license was disapproved in January of 2001, at which time the business was in operation. Johnstone stated that the building is owned by Gramps, LLC (J. Marcellus), and was constructed in 1998. The operation is located in a building that includes two other tenants, a video distribution operation and it's offices, and a kitchen cabinet sales showroom with a small office space. The total square footage of the building is 12,118 SF. The applicant leases 5,425 SF, and proposes that the square footage would be used for Showroom - 2,400 SF/Office - 1,000 SF/Warehouse - 1,025 SF/Shop (Manufacturing) - 1,000 SF. Johnstone reviewed the criteria of a Special Review Use, which provides that the request be compatible in the location. Johnstone reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation, which supports the SRU, with conditions. He noted that the testimony reflects that the primary concerns of the project were adequate on-site parking, current use and limitation of outdoor storage of trailers, and the "test driving" and operations of un-licensed recreational vehicles on site. Johnston noted that Staff has brought forward an additional condition prohibiting servicing vehicles on the property. Davidson called for applicant presentation.
