Code Section: 223 (h), (i)

Subject: Automobile repair

Effective Date: 1/88

Interpretation:

   These subsections describe where automobile repair is allowed in the C and M Districts. The dictionary definition of "automobiles" may include motorcycles; therefore, motorcycle repair is treated the same as automobile repair.

Code Section: 223 (l)

Subject: Towing operation, parking lot

Effective Date: 4/88

Interpretation:

   This Subsection describes where an open parking lot is allowed in the C and M Districts. A towing operation can qualify under this Section as a parking lot if there is no storage of inoperable vehicles except those which are temporarily inoperable awaiting repair within 48 hours.

Code Section: 223 (q), (r), (u), (v)

Subject: Parcel delivery service, truck storage and truck terminal

Effective Date: 1988

Interpretation:

   These Subsections describe where the above uses are allowed in the C and M Districts. A question arose as to the distinction between these categories. A truck terminal could have dispatching and transfer activities while a truck storage use could not. A truck terminal could handle wholesale goods while parcel delivery would handle primarily retail or personal goods.

Code Section: 223 (t)

Subject: Private lot for impounding cars

Effective Date: 12/87

Interpretation:

   This Subsection describes where a storage garage for commercial passenger vehicles and light delivery trucks is allowed in the C and M Districts. This Section includes a private lot for storing private, "trespassing" automobiles towed from private parking lots.

Code Section: 223 (u)

Subject: Storage of commercial vehicles

Effective Date: 1/86

Interpretation:

   This Subsection describes where a storage yard for commercial passenger vehicles or trucks is allowed as a conditional use in the C-3-S District and as a permitted use in the C-M and M-1 and M-2 Districts when surrounded by a wall or concealing fence not less than six feet high. Storage in an open yard of large cargo containers which in turn are used to store recreation equipment and vehicles is considered to be a use covered by Section 223(u) with the same concealment conditions. This is slightly more restrictive than a wholesale storage use which is a permitted use in the C-3-S through M-2 Districts.
