Planning board backs consolidated vehicle-sales and repair standards in UDO
Summary
The Selma Planning Board unanimously recommended that the Town Council approve an amendment consolidating motor vehicle repair and vehicle sales standards into Article 5 Section 17-5-49 and adding parking, lighting and display standards drawn from other towns' ordinances.
The Town of Selma Planning Board voted unanimously to forward to the Town Council an ordinance amendment consolidating motor vehicle repair and vehicle sales standards under Article 5, Section 17-5-49 (Motor Vehicle Repair and Service).
Planning staff said the amendment groups standards that were previously scattered across the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Items A and C were already in the UDO; staff added items B, D and E based on standards from other municipalities to provide clearer rules on vehicle sales displays, paving, landscaping, lighting and repair-work areas. Staff clarified that restrictions on permanent exterior storage described in the proposal apply to vehicle sales operations, not to vehicle repair shops working on customer vehicles inside a repair facility.
Board members asked for and received that clarification, then moved to recommend the consolidated amendment to the Town Council. The motion passed by unanimous vote.
