Council approves OB’s Auto Collision’s application for limited used‑car dealer license
Summary
The council approved a Class 2 used‑car dealer license for OB’s Auto Service & Collision LLC, allowing up to nine vehicles on the site after zoning variance; approval included a 30/60/90‑day review for parking overflow.
The Medford City Council approved a petition from OB’s Auto Service & Collision LLC for a Class 2 used‑car dealer license during its July 15 meeting. The applicant told the council the property previously received a use variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals and proposed limiting on‑site vehicle sales to no more than nine used cars, with an expected average on‑site inventory of about six vehicles.
The applicant described business operations tied to an existing repair and auto‑body shop on the property and committed to daytime, weekday operations (approximately 8–9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), no on‑site advertising and no additional sales staff. In response to a neighbor’s concern about overflow parking, Councilor Scarpelli proposed a 30/60/90‑day review to monitor neighborhood parking impacts; that amendment was adopted and the license was approved unanimously.
Next steps: The council will monitor the business under the agreed review schedule and the applicant must comply with any building and fire‑safety requirements and licensing conditions.
