CMEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council FROM: Engineering/Planning Technician��i DATE: November 4, 1982 SUBJECT: VEHICLE SALES AT NORTHEAST MARINE The Planning Commission at their November 3rd Regular Meeting directed staff to forward to the City Council their concerns regard- ing the selling of vehicles by a used car dealer at Northeast Marine located at Silver Lake Road and Highway 10. The Planning Commission had noticed two pickup trucks with "for sale" signs in their windows parked on the Northeast Marine property. Staff was directed by the Planning Commission to determine ownership of the vehicles. A check on these vehicles revealed that they are the possession of a used car dealer. Staff was informed by the Police Department that the owner of Northeast Marine is a licensed car dealer, and the two vehicles in questions are being sold by a dealer whose business name is Northeast Marine. The Planning Commission is concerned about possible zoning violations involving the selling of used vehicles in areas where businesses other than auto sales exist or in residential areas. It is the opinion of Attorney Meyers that in order for a particular location to sell used cars, it must first be properly zoned and secondly, the dealer must be licensed in the City. In the case of Northeast Marine, the property is properly zoned for motor vehicle sales although an existing business presently occupies the property, and the dealer is not licensed in the City to conduct used car sales. The Planning Commission does not become a used car lot and would direct staff should you need any FJR/bc i want this property, over time, to recommend Council review. Please additional information.
