<br /> CITY of ORONO
<br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
<br /> S 011- NO. 4 8. 4 5
<br /> 6. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact:
<br /> A. The Planning Commission finds the sales allowed on the property as a
<br /> Permitted Use would be sales associated with a wholesale operation. In the
<br /> Code under the general heading of`Processing'are alist oftypes ofprocesses
<br /> that would be allowed in the district. Processes would include,conducting
<br /> certain manufacturing,fabrication,storage,or wholesaling operations. The
<br /> I district lists"automobile and truck painting,major repair,body and fender
<br /> work,upholstering,tire recapping and sales when completely enclosed within
<br /> a building." This would allow auto sales as a wholesale operation.
<br /> B. The Orono zoning ordinance does not permit"retail sales"in the I,Industrial
<br /> zoning district.Retail use of the property for automobile sales in the classic
<br /> sense,i.e,general customer visits for the purposes of purchasing a vehicle or
<br /> parts,is not permitted on the property. However,proposed uses such as the.
<br /> body shop, auto processing,and wholesale of cars and parts are permitted
<br /> Wes in the district.
<br /> C. "Auto Sales Showroom"at the north end of the building will involve 32,800
<br /> s.f.within the building in addition to an outside open sales lot with stalls for
<br /> 40 cars on display and for demonstration or test drives,all as part of the fleet
<br /> sales and leasing operation. The operation of the showroom and open sales
<br /> lot as proposed would meet the definition of a wholesale operation.
<br /> D. The body shop and auto prep areas are permitted in the district. The body
<br /> shop would be in an area of approximately 45,000 s.f.completely within the
<br /> building. Vehicles stored waiting for body repair or for delivery would be
<br /> stored in the outside storage area south of the building.
<br /> E. The auto prep area will occupy 18,300 s.f. of building area. All auto prep
<br /> will occur inside the building, Morries expects to receive approximately ten
<br /> incoming loads of new automobiles per month. New automobiles will be
<br /> unloaded and will be stored outside and delivered to dealerships. Total
<br /> outgoing vehicles are estimated at 120 per month.
