Planning commission recommends conditional use permit for Nestor’s Auto Repair with licensing conditions and 12-space parking limit
Summary
The commission recommended City Council approve a conditional use permit for Nestor’s Auto Repair (transcript address listed as "24 41 North Main Street, Suite 7"), but made approval contingent on completion of city and state licensing before any business activity resumes and limited total on-site vehicles to 12.
The Sunset Planning Commission voted to recommend City Council approve a conditional use permit for Nestor’s Auto Repair (applicant: Pablo Nestor) at the address given in the record as “24 41 North Main Street, Suite 7,” but the commission added conditions requiring the owner to secure all required city and state licenses before resuming any repair work on site.
Commissioners and staff discussed parking, on-site vehicle limits and licensing. Staff proposed a condition limiting the total number of vehicles parked at the site to 12 (a mix of vehicles being repaired and employee/customer parking). Commissioners clarified that the 12-space limit is intended to prevent spillover parking toward Main Street and that the applicant should organize and mark the stalls. The commission also discussed hours of operation and staffing; the applicant said typical business hours would run mornings into late afternoon and that the shop generally operates with two employees.
Staff walked the applicant through the remaining licensing steps the commission expects before work may resume: renew the entity/DBA registration that the transcript shows expired April 30, obtain the appropriate motor-vehicle/body-shop license through the state Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division (state DMV/MVED), coordinate building inspection and any necessary inspections with the North Davis Fire District, and complete the city business license application. The commission's recommendation to City Council was explicitly contingent on those items being in place; the transcript records commissioners instructing the applicant to stop active repair work until licensing is complete.
A motion recommending approval to City Council with the stated conditions passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript. Staff said the item will be scheduled for City Council consideration (staff expected the May 20 council meeting). If City Council approves the conditional use permit and the applicant completes required licensing and inspections, the city will issue the business license and the applicant may resume operations.
