Dear Dan:
I understand from our telephone conversation of November 29, 1990, that you will
not be continuing in the PUD process to gain final approval for the Dollar -Rent-
A-Car automobile sales at 132 West Thunderbird Drive.
Preliminary approval was granted by the Planning and Zoning Board on November 19,
1990 for the automobile sales portion of your operation, with two conditions
attached related to landscape improvements and closure of an existing curb cut.
This use is not allowed in the HB zone as a "use -by -right" and requires a PUD
approval to continue operating as a used car sales lot.
The City takes the position that it is important to assure that improvements will
be made at the time a request is submitted for any change of use or reinstatement
of a non -conforming use on a site. These improvements may consist of, for
example, providing adequate parking, better vehicular and pedestrian circulation,
appropriate signage, landscaping and other visual amenities.
You currently have vehicles displayed at the front of the lot with information
in the windows indicating that they are for sale. This is in violation of the
City zoning ordinance and may result in a citation being issued. I suggest that
you.contact the Zoning Department at 221-6760 to discuss what action may be taken
concerning this situation.
I would very much like to continue working with you to accomplish a solution that
is acceptable to you, being the operator, as well as the property owner and the
City. Please call me at 221-6750 and I will answer any questions you have
relating to these issues.
'rely
