In full

The project required a Special Use Permit (SUP) for vehicle service use, special exceptions (covering exterior vacuum stations, a fence in a transitional yard, and modified street tree requirements), and a Major Certificate of Appropriateness. The project was flagged for an upcoming public hearing at Planning Commission meetings in late November and early December 2024. On December 10, 2024, the City Council held the public hearing and approved all three required land use actions by a 4-2 vote, with Council Members Lim and Stehle opposed.

The special exceptions were formalized through Resolution R-24-40. The project is now fully approved.
