Commission moves to back letter supporting specialty auto shop’s relocation and zoning request
Summary
Members voted to submit a letter to Planning & Zoning supporting European Performance Specialists' relocation to Commercial Street; staff said the business specializes in classic European cars and the move would require a zoning allowance tied to used-car sales.
Staff (S4) described European Performance Specialists as a specialty auto business that primarily services and occasionally sells classic European cars and that the firm needs to leave its current Falls Avenue location. S4 said the proposed Commercial Street site would require a zoning change from the current shop/incentive business district to allow limited used-car sales. "They more so work on cars, like special classic cars or older cars," S4 said.
After discussion, Commission member (S2) moved to submit a letter to Planning & Zoning supporting European Performance Specialists' relocation and S2's motion was seconded; the commission voted in favor. Commissioners said keeping a local business in town was a priority but acknowledged that nearby dealerships could push back if the site began to operate as a general used-car lot.
