Proposal 13 would consolidate auto repair uses into light and heavy categories. Light repairs would no longer be as-of-right in commercial districts and would require a special approval process. Heavy repairs would remain in manufacturing zones. Modifications were made to clarify the types of repairs allowed in commercial areas.
"In the context of auto servicing, we want to reduce conflicts between auto repair shops and pedestrians."
