9:05 plan. You can see that we are located in the red along Mill Plain here, one of a string of dealerships, automotive dealerships that are proposed in this area. This will be a dealership with a showroom and repair garage, also inventory parking, customer parking as well. This is an excerpt from that master plan showing our parcel, parcel two, and how we meeting the required parking, calculated 18 parking spaces, providing 18 parking spaces, and also a 19% landscape coverage. This is an exhibit showing how we are identifying or laying out some parking. So the required 18 parking spaces are identified in blue here. They're going to be located on the west side and the east side of the building, buildings

9:59 in the center here, accessed by a driveway on the north side. The landscape plan identifies how we're meeting the zoning criteria. So we are required to have 15% landscape coverage. We're actually presenting 19% and we're meeting the tree density at 69 tree units. I'm getting some feedback. There we go. This is a site plan showing some circulation. The main entrance is located on the southwest corner of the site. We have two parking lots accessed on the west side and on the east side. Customer parking is located here along the west side and the circulation you would enter in from the north, drive through a service drive here

10:53 and drive out back onto the street. There's also some pedestrian connections along the west and the south and the west side of the site here. A closer look at the inside of the building. As I mentioned, this is a dealership showroom up along the long mill plane, the service drive in the center and we have the repair garage in toward the back. So the more transparent and active part of the program is up front along the mill plane. And I'll end it with a few perspectives here. This really shows the massing, the scale and the use of materials of the project. Also transparency, a lot of windows. We're standing here along mill plane looking northeast, actually. This is the long mill plane looking north. Again,

11:49 you can see transparency windows, large windows here along the front and different kinds of metal panel signing. This looks like a one-story building. It's actually a two-story, but because of the height of it, we're able to get two stories in there. And this is at the entry here pedestrian connection through here and customer parking in the far side. And that should do it. Any questions? All right. No, I don't have any questions at this time. I may following any public testimony, but thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. Now staff, Mr. Keith Jones. Hello. Oh, good evening. Good evening. Let me swear you in real quick. Please swear or affirm the testimony you give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I do. Great. Please state your name, spell your last name and tell us who

12:45 you are. Good evening. I'm Keith Jones. My last name is spelled J-O-N-E-S. I am a senior planner with the city of Vancouver. I was the staff that prepared the staff report for tonight. Just go over a few items of procedure. I think the applicant did a good job of going over the overview of the project and the scope. Just again, this is a conditional use permit. It's stated as so in the MX zoning district, and that makes it a type three hearing. And that's why it's before the hearings examiner. It's also a site plan review. And then there's also a master plan amendment and that's due to a change in the amount of parking that was originally identified in the master plan. And the code does require that that be processed as such. Going back to 2024, when the master plan was approved, this area is identified

13:45 as commercial and then up towards the north and west was identified as residential. So this is a commercial portion and auto dealership was identified on the master plan as proposed, similar size, similar location. So it's consistent with the past practice. The state environmental policy act was addressed at that time. And the whole master plan was, was put through the SIPA process and final SIPA was issued prior to that hearing. And there was no appeals on that. So the SIPA is covered and consistent. A notice of application and notice of public hearing was sent out for this hearing tonight with this hearing date identified a 30 day comment period ran one public comment was received by staff. And that was addressed in the public comment section of the staff report. And up to from the date of issuance
