The Planning Board is reviewing a request for a Special Exception to allow vehicle sales on a property located in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. The applicant is proposing to re-establish vehicle sales on a combined lot totaling approximately 0.6 acres. This property was previously used for vehicle sales but has since been used for other commercial purposes. The review process is currently underway, with the Planning Board considering the application. If approved, the project would require the site's vehicle use areas to be paved and landscaped according to city regulations, including buffer zones and interior landscaping. Parking for employees and customers must also be provided. This early stage of review presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the applicant and understand potential needs for site preparation, paving, landscaping, and other related services before final plans and permits are issued.
