Commission approves revised weekend and evening hours for two Broadway tire stores
Summary
The Planning Commission approved amendments to conditional‑use hours for two tire stores on East Broadway after staff review; applicants said the changes reflect actual hours and staff reported enforcement action was prompted by a check of conditional‑use listings and online hours, not an unnamed complaint.
The commission approved conditional‑use amendments to revise hours of operation for two tire stores on East Broadway to reflect the businesses’ current hours.
Norman Clifton, representing applicant Leonardo Flores, told the commission that one tire store at 1600 East Broadway had been approved in 2013 for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and the owner had operated longer hours and opened Sundays. Clifton said the owner later built a storage warehouse as required by code and continued operating evening hours; he asked the commission to amend the conditional‑use hours to formalize operations now running later into the evening and on Sunday. He asked the commission to approve amended hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday (as recorded in the transcript).
A planning staff member explained the zoning enforcement review was part of a broader sweep of conditional and special uses and that staff learned of the business’s current hours from the business’s Facebook page; staff reported no neighborhood complaints were recorded in the file. The commission voted on the amendment by roll call and approved the change; the applicant was directed to work with planning staff (Miss James) for next steps. The commission took a similar action for a second tire store across the street at 1601 Broadway, which had been reviewed previously; that amendment was also approved on a roll call vote.
The record shows the commission’s action was administrative — aligning recorded conditional‑use conditions with observed business practices — and not the result of a public complaint recorded in the transcript. No building permits or enforcement fines were described on the record.
