Public hearing continued on Caliber Collision plan at Main Street; council seeks more details on screening, runoff and storage limits
Summary
Council opened and continued a public hearing on a proposed PD amendment to allow a Caliber Collision heavy‑vehicle service/repair shop with outdoor storage at 2801 Main Street; the applicant asked to extend maximum on‑site vehicle storage from 7 to 30 days and the council will rehear the item April 7 after requested revisions.
Planner Liliana Morejon presented a request to amend a planned development district to allow outdoor storage and a heavy‑vehicle service and repair use at a 1.47‑acre site commonly described as 2801 Main Street. She reviewed site context, required buffers and parking, and said that outdoor storage currently would be allowed only by SUP and that the applicant requested several reductions in compatibility and right‑of‑way buffers.
Carlos Swanson of Cross Development, representing Caliber Collision, described typical operations (Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., roughly 15–20 employees) and emphasized the intent to enclose stored vehicles behind an opaque fence and landscape screening. Swanson said the applicant would ask the council to include a condition extending on‑site storage from the 7‑day reference in staff materials up to 30 days in the PD standards: "So that was 1 amendment. I was gonna ask for a condition that we increase the 7 days to 30 days." Council members pressed on visual screening along Main Street, fence height and environmental controls for stormwater and fluid runoff; representatives said they would return with additional clarifications, including measures to prevent fluid runoff and the exact elevations and landscape plan.
Members of the public raised concerns about environmental runoff, storage volumes and market saturation. Dan Haft, a resident, asked whether tow‑truck drivers can be relied upon to note leaking vehicles and warned of runoff into a nearby creek and the lake. The council kept the public hearing open and scheduled final consideration for April 7 so staff and the applicant can provide revised site drawings and additional details.
