While a convenient and useful service, some regulation may be warranted to prevent interruption of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and a decrease in neighborhood aesthetics. During the month of December, a complaint was received by the City with regard to the placement of storage containers associated with one of these services. The items were placed in the street for a period of at least two weeks, creating a potential traffic hazard as well as an unappealing sight. The goals of the draft amendment are to prohibit placement of storage containers in public right-of-ways and to establish limits with regard to the length of time that the containers can be placed outside and the number of instances such services can be utilized in a specified period of time. These changes are proposed within all residential zoning districts. Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District Staff recently visited with the owners of K&M Inspections, formerly located at 120 East Northwest Highway, about relocating their automotive state inspections business. Their desired site for relocation is the former Southwest Marine Boat Sales and Service located at the northwest corner of Dooley Street and Wall Street. Both sites are zoned "HU Highway Commercial District; however, Section 26.D.3 of the zoning ordinance limits the permitted and conditional uses when a site has access to and frontage on a street other than a State Highway or Central Avenue. Automotive repair and service uses are not provided for in this section, and thus are not permitted at the Southwest Marine location. The zoning ordinance does not currently distinguish between a state inspections facility and other automotive repair uses. However, an inspections facility could be considered different and less obtrusive in that vehicles are not stored on the premises for long periods of time and business does not involve actual repair. Vehicles are simply tested for safety and environmental compliance, often within a period of 15-20 minutes each. Regulations governing state inspections facilities are evolving as new EPA -required equipment necessitates more space to accommodate the operations, and the resources needed to run a modern inspections operation will continue to lead to more comprehensive and diversified automotive uses. However, some businesses will continue to exclusively offer state inspections services, and it may be sensible to provide for automotive state inspections facilities specifically on sites within the "HU Highway a Commercial District, including those with access to and frontage on minor streets, with a conditional use permit. 0:\ZCU\AM02-01.4.doc 2 March 5, 2002 (10:58AM) Section 55, Performance Standards On April 17, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council approved provisional lighting standards to be applied to new applications for conditional use permits received between the dates of April 17, 2001 and April 17, 2002. Since that time, all new conditional use permit applications have had to submit a photometric study of the site illustrating compliance with the new ordinance. Some of the applications that have had to meet the new lighting standards in the past year include CU01-22, Kings Smokehouse; CU01-27, Classic Hummer; CU01-46, CVS Pharmacy; CU01-68, Baylor Professional Office Park and CU01-71, Wal-Mart Supercenter. With the April 17, 2002 deadline approaching, the effectiveness of the provisional lighting standards in achieving the stated purpose of preventing glare on public roadways, protecting the privacy of residents and reducing atmospheric light pollution should be reviewed. At their February 12, 2002 worksession, the Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to set a public hearing to consider making the lighting standards a permanent requirement in the Zoning Ordinance.
