Board approves zone text amendment and permit to allow vehicle sales lot at 4912 Central Way in Cordelia
Summary
The Solano County Board approved a zone text amendment and minor use permit to permit vehicle and commercial vehicle sales in the Residential Traditional Community Mixed Use district and authorized a vehicle sales lot at 4912 Central Way (Globe Truck Center relocation). The board approved mitigations including landscape and stormwater measures and confirmed point-of-sale tax apportionment to the county.
After a public hearing and staff presentation, the Solano County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a zone text amendment (ZT 20‑01) enabling automobile, commercial vehicle, mobile home, recreational vehicle and boat sales lots as a conditionally permitted use in the Residential Traditional Community Mixed Use (RTCMU) zoning district and to approve a minor use permit (MU 20‑05) allowing a vehicle sales lot at 4912 Central Way in Old Town Cordelia.
Resource Management staff said the project would demolish an existing barn, expand paved parking for vehicle inventory, install curb and gutter along Central Way and create a bioretention basin for stormwater. The applicant’s representative, civil engineer Robert A. Karn, said Globe Truck Center would relocate inventory from an existing Fairfield site and that the city parcel in the assembly would serve only as stormwater management; the sales point of sale would be located in the county parcel and, therefore, sales taxes would be remitted to the county.
Supervisors pressed staff and the applicant for clarity about sales‑tax point of sale, landscaping plan details (drought‑tolerant species requested) and any potential impacts from nearby highway interchange projects. Planning staff noted the project qualified for categorical CEQA exemptions (Class 1 and 4) for minimal physical change and maintenance activities. After public comment the board voted 5‑0 to adopt the ordinance approving the zone text amendment and to adopt the resolution approving the minor use permit.
