The permit includes conditions to protect storm drains and limits on-site repairs.
The Hayward Planning Commission voted to approve a conditional use permit enabling Mannheim to operate an outdoor automobile storage yard and related fleet support activities at 2348 Industrial Parkway West.
Senior planner Steve Kowalsski told commissioners the 6.7-acre site contains an 18,692-foot truck terminal and a separate roughly 4,000-foot maintenance garage and had been used for auction-related vehicle storage in the past.
