Summary

On second reading the council approved a conditional use permit allowing an auto repair garage at 2307 Live Oak Street and approved rezoning Property ID 36218 from general business to Apartment Building District 2 to allow a mobile‑home park; both passed after public hearings with no opposing speakers.

The council considered two land‑use ordinance items on second reading.

Conditional use permit: The council held a public hearing and considered a second reading of an ordinance authorizing a conditional use permit for Stanhouse Automotive to operate an auto repair garage at 2307 Live Oak Street (Property ID 23159). Community Development Director Harbor said that the planning commission had recommended approval and that the permit requires building and certificate‑of‑occupancy inspections. The council noted prior discussion about screening/fencing; staff said an existing fence is in place and council ultimately voted to pass the second reading.

Rezoning: The council considered a rezoning application by Du Shung for Joyfulness Property and Holdings LLC to change zoning from general business to Apartment Building District 2 for Property ID 36218 (Highway 24). Community Development Director Harbor said part of the property includes a floodplain at the front; owner News Young said he has invested in the park since 2020, described meter and tax‑roll changes and thanked staff for assistance. The council opened and closed the public hearing with no other speakers and passed the second reading.

Why it matters: The conditional use permit allows an auto‑repair business to operate under the city’s general business rules with required inspections; the rezoning enables the owner’s intended mobile‑home park uses and aligns the property with ordinance requirements for such facilities.

What’s next: Staff will proceed with required building and CO inspections (conditional use) and will process civil plans and permitting for the rezoned property; council approved both items on second reading.
