The Planning Commission has approved a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a 6,300 square foot retail truck parts store at 609-665 W. Cowles St. in the First District.
The applicant, One Stop Truck Parts, Inc., met with the Magnolia Industrial Group (MIG) to discuss concerns with the existing truck storage lot and the proposed truck parts store, according to a staff report, which added that -- as a result of that meeting -- additional operational conditions were added to help mitigate the concerns.
The area is zoned General Industrial, and it's 1.4 acres in size and is improved with a 12,600 square foot warehouse building, a small guardhouse, a 1,440 square foot mobile office unit and paved truck storage lot.
The applicant proposes to modify 6,300 square feet of the warehouse building to operate a retail truck parts store..
According to the staff report, about 860 square feet of the floor area is identified as customer area with the remaining 5,440 square feet serving as truck parts warehousing. The remaining portion of the warehouse will continue to serve truck operations, the staff report added.
One of the concerns raised by the MIG dealt with potential parking impacts, the staff noted.
However, there are 15 on-site parking spaces along Oregon Avenue, and the owner plans to add 11 more spaces, including three for trucks.
The proposed hours of operation for the store are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Operational conditions at include a ban against on-site installation of parts or truck maintenance, and a requirement of on-site loading/unloading of inventory for the store instead of blocklnq the street.
