Summary
An administrative hearing July 16, 2025 approved a project plan and conditional-use permit for a new auto sales yard at 680 East 900 South in the Spring Creek neighborhood, subject to staff conditions including no inoperable vehicles stored outside and recording a subdivision prior to permits.
At an administrative hearing July 16, 2025, the hearing officer approved a project plan and conditional-use permit for a new auto sales yard at 680 East 900 South in the Spring Creek neighborhood, city staff said.
Nancy Robson, a city staff member, described the property as a light-manufacturing (M1) site built in 1954 near a cemetery and nearby train tracks. Robson said the proposed structure would be about 7,800 square feet, with roughly 600 square feet of office space; staff calculated the required parking for automobile sales as 10 spaces and said the applicant provided 12. Staff recommended approval of the project plan and conditional-use permit with two conditions: that no inoperable vehicles be stored outside, and that the applicant complete the final subdivision to combine the parcel prior to permits being issued.
The hearing officer reiterated the subdivision condition and said the Bridal subdivision must be recorded prior to issuance of city permits. The officer also noted the project had gone through CRC review and had been reviewed by multiple city departments.
Sergio Bustamante, the general contractor representing the project, said he had worked through corrections and believed the improvements and landscaping would be an asset to the city. A member of the public who identified themself as a nearby resident raised concerns about traffic, infrastructure and homelessness in the area, saying, “I live at the top of this hill, so I travel down that south every day on the bike. I'm gonna come on here. This light is really nice, and increase in traffic.”
The hearing officer approved both the project plan and the conditional-use permit as proposed, subject to the staff conditions recorded in the staff report. The transcript records no roll-call vote; the approval was announced by the hearing officer and the applicant was told to complete required subdivision paperwork before permits would be issued.
The hearing then adjourned.
