Summary
The Sunrise Manor board approved a use permit allowing vehicle maintenance and repair at part of an existing warehouse complex in an industrial zone within an airport overlay, subject to staff recommendations and applicable overlay restrictions.
The Sunrise Manor Town Advisory Board approved a use permit allowing vehicle maintenance and repair within an existing warehouse complex north of Cecil Avenue.
Applicant Jorge Ortega told the board he sought permission to operate a mechanic shop in an already industrial-zoned area and that most customers “just need their vehicles to get maintenance, and then they pick them up at the end of the day, which is like at 05:30PM.” Ortega said he understood airport-area overlay (APZ) limitations regarding congregation of people.
Why it matters: Vehicle repair is a regulated use inside airport overlay zones; the board approved the permit following staff’s recommendation, enabling the business to proceed through the county’s permitting process.
Board action: A board member moved to “follow staff recommendation for approval.” The motion carried on a voice vote with no public opposition recorded.
The approved use permit applies to a portion of 2.28 acres in an IP/IL industrial zone within the Airport APZ and AE-80 overlays. Ortega and staff will continue working through permitting and any APZ-related conditions before the business can begin full operations.
