first phase will be the wine production facility with a 12, 554 square foot building
containing a retail sales area, fermentation tanks, barrel room, bottling room and
laboratory. The second phase will be the winery chateau with off site parking. Lot

Office and "CC" Community Commercial. Parking required for the production building
is eighteen spaces, but the applicant is providing thirty two spaces.

8118/94
47.E.2. in accordance with Section 47.F.
Marcy Ratcliff, city Planner, explained Mr. lven had been operating the existing auto
repair and window tinting business with vehicle inspections as a nonconforming
development. The development was grandfathered under the "HC" Highway
Commercial District in the city wide rezoning in 1884.
Mr. John Iven was introduced to respond to questions relative to the parking of U-
Haul units on the small corner lot with unmanned drop off times for trucks and
trailers. council members and Planning & zoning Commissioners expressed concerns
on the unsightly appearance of the U -Haul units parked where they would be
extending over the lot lines into Northwest Highway increasing sight visibility
problems for turning traffic at the intersection of Jenkins and Northwest Highway.
Also, of major concern was the lack of appropriate parking spaces for the number of
U -Haul units that may be on the site at any given time and after business hours.
George cero, 114 Jenkins Street, spoke in favor of the request.
With nothing further, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Commissioners discussed their concerns on
the limitation of adequate parking for the U -Haul units. They discussed the need for
limiting the number of units for the space available. They also felt the business should
be manned on weekends to park drop off units in specified striped parking spaces.
Further, they were concerned that the U -Haul units would be placed in designated
employee and Los Amigos Restaurant parking spaces.
Marvin Balvin moved, with a second by curds Young, to approve conditional use
request CU94 -18 with the following stipulations: (1) all parking spaces must be
striped and (2) the number of U -Haul units cannot exceed the number of striped
parking spaces and (8) the eight parking spaces designated for Los Amigos Restaurant
and spaces designated for employee parking cannot be used for U -Haul parking and
(4) to allow Mr. lven to continue operations as a U -Haul dealer for sixty days while
preparing a parking plan for striping of the lot which will become part of this request.

operation of a sales office and warehouse facility for the products. Also, the applicant
is requesting a waiver to Section 47.E.2. in accordance with Section 47.F.
Marcy Ratcliff, City Planner, explained the original site plan approved in 1 984 showed

Enforcement Office informed Mr. Adams he had to comply with the existing site plan
or request a conditional use authorizing the expansion.

the neighbors complaints about his development.
Mr. Larry Kirkland, 3855 Banyan, addressed the request expressing complaints against
unapproved expansion relating incidences of loud noise from the development before
and after normal business hours and on weekends,,
Mr. David Jones, 381 Banyan, addressed the request expressing concerns over
equipment running early morning and late evenings, damage to his fence, and high
weeds and grass protruding through his rear fence.
City Secretary, Linda Huff, reported there was one letter opposing the request and
two letters of support. With no one else to speak, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, members discussed the present use of the
property was not in compliance with the approved site plan from 1 984 being a sales
office and warehouse facility for the materials. Also, of concern were any production
uses, screening and fencing from the residential use and parking of equipment in the
rear yard with a limitation of working hours.

to cease current operations in the unauthorized future development area until the
