Resident urges Rancho Cordova to revoke High Class Auto’s permit after alleged code, safety problems
Summary
At a Rancho Cordova City Council meeting, resident James Garcia said High Class Auto has repeatedly violated its similar‑use permit, creating parking, fire‑safety and public‑order problems and urged the city to pull the permit. No formal city response was recorded at the meeting.
James Garcia, a Stone Creek resident, told the Rancho Cordova City Council that High Class Auto has repeatedly operated beyond the terms of its similar‑use permit and is endangering nearby neighborhoods.
"They've destroyed their landscaping. They've over parked, everything, created fire hazards ... inside was stacked wall to wall. You cannot even open doors," Garcia said during the public‑comment portion of the meeting, urging the council to revoke the business’s permit before someone is hurt.
Garcia said the business, approved in a March 9, 2023, similar‑use application as an appointment‑only auto or truck rental/leasing agency, now appears to be selling cars and operating without the restrictions the permit required. He described vehicles and boats parked around the building and customers driving up and down residential streets, and said police have had to respond to disperse crowds.
The statement raised a code‑enforcement concern but the meeting record includes no staff response or council direction to pursue immediate enforcement at that time. The clerk noted the item was public comment; the council proceeded to other business including council reports and consent items.
The council has not recorded any formal action on the complaint during this meeting. Garcia asked the council to act "before someone dies," but no staff report, enforcement motion, or follow‑up assignment was recorded in the minutes provided.
