Council approves rezoning of 0.17‑acre parcel to allow parking for auto repair site
Summary
The council approved a zone change from multifamily residential (MF‑29) to Limited Commercial to allow an owner to provide parking for a nearby auto repair business; the Planning Commission recommended approval and the council adopted MAPC findings (vote 7‑0).
Planning staff presented a request to rezone a 0.17‑acre parcel on the east side of South Hillside Avenue from MF‑29 (multifamily residential) to LC (Limited Commercial) to allow its use as parking tied to an auto‑repair business proposed on adjacent property to the south.
Planner Scott Wadle summarized the case history: MAPC recommended approval (14‑0), the District Advisory Board initially recommended denial then, after rehearing with the applicant present, recommended approval (7‑2). Staff noted the site is buffered from residences by a creek and that any future development must meet stormwater and permit requirements.
Council Member Ho Heisel moved to adopt the findings of the MAPC and approve the rezoning; the motion passed unanimously (7‑0). Staff said permits will still be required and environmental safeguards will be enforced during permit review.
