RECEIVED

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor, City Council and Planning Commissioners
From: Stephen Rohlf, Cornerstone Auto Resource
Date: June 19, 2019
Subject: Conditional Use Permit for an Accessory Structure - Cornerstone
Auto Resource
Conditional Use Permit
Cornerstone Auto is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a 30 foot by 45 foot accessory
structure that will be used as a photo booth. Nearly 90%of all car sales customers review
vehicles on line prior to visiting a dealership. Our current photo area is inadequate to handle the
quantity and quality of the pictures we need.
The interior of the proposed photo booth will be equipped with a"360 Booth". There is a
brochure included with this memo. Vehicles will enter one end of the accessory structure and
exit the opposite end (no need for backing-up). The 360 Booth provides a semi-circle back
ground that pivots around the vehicle on a track, eliminating the need for repositioning it. The
360 Booth also has a diffused lighting system that eliminates lighting "hot spots"from the
pictures.
The accessory structure proposed to house the 360 Booth will be built with a shingled 4/12
pitched roof and clad with siding. The proposed location for this building meets accessory
structure setbacks. It will also help screen our customers from the adjacent truck terminal.
The proposed building will only be used for taking picture. No employees will be permanently
housed in this building and no new positions will be created. Additional parking should not be
required. With the addition of this building Cornerstone will still be within the maximum lot
coverage per City Code, so no additional water retention should be required. One tree will be
required to be removed to make room for the building, Cornerstone currently has numerous more
trees than are required by City Code.
Photos are now such an integral part of selling cars,we feel our proposal is consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan that allows for motor vehicle sales and our current conditional use
permit.
