MINUTES City of Olathe City Planning Division Application: Owner: Applicant: SU-17-004: Renewal of a special use permit for motor vehicle sales (Kidd s Automotive and Towing) 750 North Rogers Road Fishman Commercial/Lynn Holcomb Porto Law Firm, Nicholas Porto Dan Fernandez, Planner II Site Area: 1.44± acres Proposed Use: Motor Vehicle Sales Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan Designation Site North Automotive Repair/Sales Motorcycle Dealership C-3 Industrial C-3 Industrial East Office/Warehouse M-1 Industrial South Motor Vehicle Rentals C-3 Industrial West I-35 N/A N/A Dan Fernandez, Planner II, made a presentation before the Planning Commission, summarizing the request. He reported that the initial permit for motor vehicle sales at this location was approved in September 2013 for Kidd s Automotive Sales and Service, which provides motor vehicle services, as well as operating a tow service from this location. The applicant has a license to sell motor vehicles, and a special use permit is being requested because vehicles towed to the site are often abandoned, and after a certain amount of time, the applicant has the authority to sell those vehicles. Mr. Fernandez reported that staff performed a site visit and noticed that some improvements were needed. Those included a dead tree at the northwest corner of the site; a lack of parking/paving; screening of the parking area along Rogers Road; and parking spaces that needed to be restriped. All of these items have been added as stipulations, which the applicant has agreed to.
SU-17-004 (PC Minutes) August 14, 2017 Page 2 A.

Chair Vakas verified with staff that this is the first renewal and the request is for five years. There were no questions of the applicant. Chair Vakas asked if anyone present wished to speak on this item. Seeing none, he called for a motion to close the public hearing. Motion by Commissioner Sutherland, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to close the public hearing. Motion was approved 6-0.
