DISCUSSION 
Ali Bull, representative with Burch & Cracchiolo, gave an overview of the original 
special permit and land uses in the surrounding area. She stated that the special 
permit was originally approved for automobile sales and leasing. She provided an 
overview of the proposal which includes incorporating a body repair and paint 
shop into the existing building. Vehicles will enter the building from the west and 
exit from both the west and north sides of the building. She stated that the 
proposal will not impact the multifamily development to the north and noted there 
is 139 feet between the building and the nearest apartment building to the north 
which is further separated by a wall and parking lot. She stated that Stipulation 1 
prohibits a body repair or paint shop, however these uses are otherwise allowed 
as a component of the special permit if the use is conducted in a closed building. 
She noted that the body repair and paint shop will be an accessory use for the 
property. She requested that Stipulation 1 be deleted. She also requested a

modification of Stipulation 3 to add an additional 30 minutes before and after the 
stipulated service hours of 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. 
 
Adam Stranieri, Planning Hearing Officer, asked for more information regarding 
the current use of the building area that is proposed to be redeveloped with the 
body repair and paint shop. Ed Bull, representative with Burch & Cracchiolo, 
stated that the current location is used for storage. He stated the eastern portion 
of the building is used to conduct automobile sales. Barry Barcus, with the 
applicant, stated that this area once contained a service department, break 
rooms, and service bays. Mr. Stranieri asked what the garage door on the north 
side of the building will be used for. Tom Hiller, property owner with Chapman 
Bell Road, stated that the north door will not be used as a service bay and that it 
is unclear whether that garage door would be retained. 
 
Mr. Stranieri stated that the special permit would typically allow for a body repair 
and paint shop within a closed building and that the proposed deletion would be 
consistent with the surrounding uses and special permit section of the Zoning 
Ordinance. He stated that the increased hours of service would allow customers 
to arrive before or after the typical work day and the hours still allow for some 
protection of the nearby residential developments as was intended by the original 
stipulation. 
 
FINDINGS 
 
1) The applicant’s request to delete Stipulation 1 prohibiting a body or paint 
shop is recommended for approval.  The Special Permit for automobile 
retail sales would otherwise support the body repair and painting land use 
as an accessory use if confined to a closed building.  The proposal is to 
conduct this use solely as an accessory use and in a closed building.  The 
proposal is compatible with existing development and the land use pattern 
in the surrounding area. 
 
2) The applicant’s request to modify Stipulation 2 to adjust hours of operation 
by one half-hour from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., is 
recommended for approval.  The modification represents a modest 
variation from the original stipulation and is appropriate for a commercial 
use on a major arterial street.  The proposal is compatible with existing 
development and the land use pattern in the surrounding area. 
 
DECISION: The Planning Hearing Officer recommended approval.
