The applicant still utilizes a portion of the building to sell open box and used merchandise. The suite for the retail center is internally separated from the food truck commissary space by a roll-up door. Also, there is external access to the retail center by a roll-up door.
Kathy's Overstock, the retail business, previously utilized the entire building, but the business didn't perform as expected so they reduced the size of the operation, leased a portion of the building, and now interact with potential clients by appointment only or by retailing to foreign clients in Mexico.
SURROUNDING AREA: The subject site currently has the commissary for the food truck park in a portion of the building (figure 2), storage location for food trucks, and the accessory building for Total Rage VR Gaming.
