Planning Commission Action

The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the proposed code amendment. There were no comments at the public hearing.

Background

The B-2 and B-3 zoning chapters both allow smaller scale Vehicle Rental Agencies to be located in those districts but limits their location by requiring them to be part of or on the same parcel as an automotive repair or vehicle sales lot. Recently the City Council discussed this issue and suggested that the B-2 and B-3 code could allow this use throughout the district and not require car rental to be part of another automotive repair or vehicle sales use.

The proposed code amendment addresses this issue by simply removing the language requiring the connection or association with an auto repair or vehicle sales use. The amendment also cleans up language regarding the number of vehicles allowed on site.

Recommendation

Approve the Resolution.
