Mayor and Common Council meeting May 10, 1993 REOUEST That Planning staff be directed to prepare a General Plan Amendment and a Development Code Amendment to allow auto body and paint shops, subject to a conditional use permit, in the Commercial General land use designations. Existing auto body and paint shops would be allowed to remain as conforming permitted uses, and additions or other renovations would be subject to a Development Permit. BACKGROUND When the General Plan was adopted on June 2, 1989, it included Community-Serving Commercial Uses, Policy 1.19.11 which reads: Permit the development of new and used car dealerships and auto-related retail and service uses (excluding auto body and paint) with a Conditional Use Permit to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses. Consequently, when the Development Code was adopted on June 3, 1991, auto body and paint shops were excluded from the permitted uses table in all CG designations. Approximately 20 auto body and paint shops in San Bernardino are located in the Commercial General land use ~signations. These businesses are now non conforming and are not permitted to expand to any significant degree. This has caused hardship for these business owners who have no desire to relocate. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayor and Common Council direct Planning staff to prepare an amendment to General Plan Policy 1.19.11, and to prepare an amendment to the Development Code to consider permitting auto body and paint shops in the Commercial General land use designations.
