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.
