be tied to America's Service Station - Minor Auto Repair.

Mr. Norwood advised Council that a couple of issues concerned Staff. The first being
adjacency issues and future occupants of the building if and when America's Service
Station businesses is no longer operating out of this location. America's Service Station
is a high-end service station; they get cars in and out which will not create a problem of
parking customer vehicles over night. This may not be the case in 2 or 5 years when a
new business operates out of this facility. Staff felt the best solution to reduce that
possibility would be to tie the Special Use Permit directly to America's Service Station.
