locations.

13SN0104-JL`~N2Ei-B( )S-RPT
Proposed Use:
The applicant proposes to locate a motor vehicle title lending business within an existing
commercial building occupied by other commercial uses. Motor vehicle title lenders
provide alternative financial services in the form of loans secured by anon-purchase
interest in a motor vehicle.
The proposal would comply with the recently adopted Alternative Financial Institution
(AFI) Policy. Specifically, the use would not be collocated with another AFI in the same
building; and would not be located within one mile of an existing AFl, contiguous to
existing or anticipated residential zoning, nor within a revitalization area identified in the
Policy. Consistent with the Policy, proffered conditions prohibit the use of exposed neon
window signs other than "open" for business signs. (Proffered Condition 1)
While the proposal is located on property zoned Community Business (C-3), the
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for Regional Business (C-4) uses.
The Policy indicates that AFPs should be located in areas designated by the Plan for
General Business (GS) uses, with consideration afforded to areas designated for
Community Business (C-3) uses based on conditions that provide for adequate land use
transition and compatibility. To provide for this compatibility with other Corridor
commercial uses, Proffered Condition 2 would prohibit the storage or sale of surrendered
vehicles on the property. Further, Proffered Condition 3 would linut this use to the existing
building with no expansion or exterior alterations. The existing building has a painted
exterior. This proffer would pernut repainting of the building with a neutral color or a color
that is consistent with the overall color scheme for the building, as approved by the Planning
Department.
CONCLUSION
The proposed motor vehicle title lending business conforms to the adopted Alternative Financial
Institution (AFI) Policy. In addition, as proffered, the proposed AFI would be compatible with
existing and anticipated area commercial development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
