EXPLANATION:
The applicant is requesting to relocate an existing auto body business — Glenn's Body Shop — from 2800 National
City Blvd. to the subject 26,000 square -foot property on A Avenue. The proposed operating hours of the facility
are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. Approximately 2,495 square feet of an existing 8,500 square -foot
building on the property would be used for offices with the remainder used for automotive body repair and
painting. The applicant has stated that only water -based paints would be used with the exception of a clear coat
product that contains minimal solvent. Approximately four employees would staff the facility.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May 2, 2011. Commissioners asked questions
regarding proximity to residences and schools, public noticing and approval conditions. Staff noted that there was
no distance requirement between auto body facilities and residences in the current code, although the draft
Zoning Code contains language prohibiting such uses within 500 feet of a residence or school. There is a home
within 100 feet of the subject property. The Commission voted to approve the CUP based on required findings
and subject to Conditions of Approval, and modified condition no. 15 to allow for the applicant to use certain
solvent -based coatings that were approved by the California Air Resources Board.
