381 Bishop Avenue upholstery workshop certificate of location
At a glance
- What: Request for a certificate of location approval (section 11.120) to open a motor vehicle upholstery workshop in a former tire storage building in an industrial zone.
- Where it stands: Denied on 2026-10-13 after the applicant did not appear.
- Why: Board members cited an inadequate building and lot size for the requested purpose; the chair noted this was at least the second or third continuance and that the applicant had not responded in about six months.
Concerns raised
- A district councilwoman said she toured the building with Councilwoman Martinez; the fire marshal had posted a notice on it pending repairs, and she asked the board not to approve it. She also said the site was still operating and that vehicles without plates had been towed.
Decision
- A member moved to deny and another seconded; the chair said it was a regular denial, not a denial without prejudice. The captions do not capture an individual vote tally.
