Councilmember Taylor, the primary sponsor, said the amendment was largely “cleanup” and explained it would require that auto repair, car wash and similar auto usages be subject to the same conditions as auto services; the amendment also fixed a numbering issue in section F of the ordinance. The amendment was moved and seconded, received no substantive debate, and was recommended for approval by a 10-0 vote. The ordinance as amended was then recommended for approval by a 10-0 vote.
