SUBJECT: JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY SESSION
REGARDING AUTO REPAIR AND SERVICE USES
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council discuss the City's locational criteria for auto repair and service uses then, if desired by
Council, direct staff to amend the City's Unified Development Code accordingly.
BACKGROUND
At the April 8, 2003 City Council meeting, Councilmember McLean requested that the City
Council review the locations in the City where automotive repair facilities are allowed to insure
that these uses are distributed throughout the City, and that no single neighborhood has an over
concentration of these facilities. The Council concurred with Councilmember McLean's request
and directed staff to arrange a joint study session with the Planning Commission to discuss the
issue.
To facilitate the discussion, staff has conducted a citywide inventory of current auto repair and
similar auto -related uses that will be presented to the Council and Commission at the study
session. In addition, staff will provide information regarding the current permitting requirements
and locational criteria for any future auto related uses. Finally, for comparison, staff will inform
the Council and Commission of permitting and development requirements in other jurisdictions
in the region.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
No alternative actions have been identified.
FISCAL IMPACT
The study session is for discussion only and will result in no fiscal impact. Any direction given
by the City Council will be evaluated separately for any fiscal impacts.
