ITEM SUMMARY:
On October 16, 2017, a Special Use was awarded to allow Frank’s Automotive to operate at 927
West Washington Street under Ordinance 17-O-0039. The site plan submitted subsequently included
a board-on-board wood privacy fence. Instead, the petitioner installed a black-coated chain link fence
with slats. The petitioner now seeks a First Amendment to the Special Use Permit to allow the chain
link fence in lieu of replacing it with the already approved wood privacy fence.
At its December 1, 2020 meeting, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals conducted a public
hearing to consider the First Amendment to the Special Use Permit. Members voted unanimously (6-
Q) in favor of allowing the First Amendment and the chain link fence.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the proposed the First Amendment to the Special Use Permit, Franks Automotive,
927 W. Washington Street.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2020-RC-0016
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 20-18
Special Use Amendment
Keith Parks d/b/a Frank’s Automotive
927 West Washington Street
DATE: December 1, 2020
DECISION: The Plan Commission/Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the
special use amendment for the SUBJECT REALTY by a vote of six (6) “yes” and
zero (0) “no”, subject to the site being developed in substantial conformance with
the Landscape Plan prepared by Webster, McGrath & Alhberg, LTD., dated
October 20, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
After holding a public hearing and after review of the requested amendment to the special use
permit, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the amendment
and adopted the following Findings of Fact with its recommendation:
(1) Is necessary for the public convenience at that location or, the case of existing nonconforming
uses, a special use permit will make the use more compatible with its surroundings:
True. The uses of the property will not change from the originally approved Special Use
Permit. The uses that were previously approved include an Automotive Repair Facility, Self-
storage Facility, and Outside Storage.
(2) Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare
will be protected:
True. The existing black coated chain link fence with slats is a more appropriate screen for the
property than a wooden board-on-board fence.
(3) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it
is located:
True. The existing black coated chain link fence with slats will not cause substantial injury or
harm to property values in the neighborhood and will be compatible with surrounding
properties.

(4) The proposed special use is designated by this code as a listed special use in the zoning district
in which the property in question is located:
True. The previously approved uses of the property will not change. The use of outside storage
requires fencing to screen the storage area from adjacent view, per Section 11.2-1(C)(2) of the
Zoning Code.
