AGENDA ITEM# SA
DECEMBER 14, 2015
A use-by-exception is required by Section 24-112(c)(S) for, "establishments for heavy automotive repair, towing
service or the permanent storage of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks and tractors, boats, machinery and
equipment, farm equipment and similar uses." Minor automotive repair would be allowed by right, but the
towing service and any repairs considered heavy automotive would fit within the described use. Minor
automotive repair is the minor or routine servicing of motor vehicles or parts. Heavy automotive repair is the
rebuilding or reconditioning of motor vehicles or parts including collision service, painting and steam cleaning
of vehicles.
The city's Comprehensive Plan does address these types of uses and the general location of this proposed
business. Policy A.1.10.5 states the following; "Along the Mayport Road corridor, the continuation and
proliferation of light industrial uses, automotive sales and repair businesses and other more intensive commercial
business activities shall be discouraged in favor of those businesses and uses that provide neighborhood serving
retail products and services that generate daily activity and interaction between residents of the surrounding
neighborhoods such as banks, drugstores, restaurants, churches, child care centers, grocery stores and similar
businesses and uses." While the location of this business is located within the Mayport Road corridor, it is
located within the Light Industrial and Warehousing Zoning District, which is the most intense zoning district
within the city. However, there are a few existing heavy automotive repair facilities in the city and at least one
known tow service that is also located in the Light Industrial and Warehousing Zoning District.
The site is relatively small and surrounded by a fence and ditches that will naturally limit activities on the
property, but the board may want to consider a few conditions if they decide to recommend approval. The
board may consider requiring a specific number of parking spaces on a site plan and clearly marked on site for
customers and employees. The board may consider limiting the number of towed vehicles and the maximum
duration of their stay on site. The board may consider prohibiting the parking or storage of vehicles in the
right-of-way adjacent to the property. The board may also consider restricting the hours of operation to those
deemed appropriate.
