Home My WebLink AboutPZ2021-321DATE: October 18, 2021 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow an auto repair shop in a NC (Neighborhood Commercial) District. FILE: PZ2021-321 STAFF REPORT Guadalupe Bernal would like to operate an auto repair shop at 1109 Harriot Street. An automotive shop is not permitted in NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning without a Specific Use Permit. Staff received a complaint that so many vehicles were parked at this location, you could not see around them at the intersection. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the business was operating without a Certificate of Occupancy and had not been used continuously as an auto repair shop so it was not grandfathered. Parking should be limited, to allow for proper maneuvering of vehicles on the property. As an example, storage of junk motor vehicles, for a wrecker service, is limited to ten (10) vehicles without a Specific Use Permit. In addition, Section 28.04.008(b)(9)(C) of the Ordinance states, ". . . auto repairing, etc., shall be conducted within a building enclosed on at least three (3) sides. " Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Maximum of twenty (20) vehicles to be on the property at any given time, including customer and employee parking. 2. All auto repair must be conducted inside the shop. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
