The conditions bold and underlined have been added or modified to the CUP Ordinance from the last Council Meeting on April 4, 2022. The required conditions below will not only provide an aesthetic and physical barrier of the proposed salvage yard use on the site, but it'll also improve the site as currently developed and used. Without this approved CUP with required conditions, the site will remain with the permissible towing and tire business use visible from Greenswitch Rd and neighboring properties. 1. A nine (9) foot site break fence shall be constructed to go along with the existing six (6) foot site break fence around the perimeter of the property as shown in the attached site plan labeled Exhibit A and the Business Plan labeled Exhibit B to visually screen the use from the adjacent properties and roadways. Both the existing and new site break fence shall be maintained in good condition to stay in compliance with this Conditional Use Permit and the City's Zoning Ordinance. A site break fence as defined in the City's Zoning Ordinance and for this conditional use permit is "A physical barrier designed to screen buildings or uses from adjacent properties." 2. No stored and/or salvaged automotive vehicles and parts shall be visible from adjoining properties and roadways and shall not be stacked any higher than nine (9) feet. 3. No products or materials besides automotive vehicles and parts and equipment for the salvage and recycling of those vehicles and parts shall be salvaged or stored on the site. 4. The vehicle crusher shall not be used between the hours of 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. 5. In accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance Performance Standards for uses in the M- 2 Heavy Industrial District no operations on this site, including but not limited to the use of the vehicle crusher,shall produce a source of sound in such a manner as to create a sound level which exceeds 80 dBA, when measured in accordance with the American Standard for the Physical Measurement of Sound. Such measurement shall take place at the property line of this site. 6. The petitioner, Shaner's Towing, shall provide the City Economic & Community Development Department an annual report, before December 31 of each year, confirming that the site is in compliance with all of the conditions of this CUP Permit. Any conditions not being met shall be cause for City revocation of the CUP.
