SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a major automobile repair use on a site that formally contained an automotive specialty repair shop. The proposed major automotive repair would be located within two existing buildings (1,485 square feet and 1,800 square feet) located at 629 Jefferson Street. The previous automotive use ceased operations in 2019 and currently both buildings are vacant. The applicant is proposing major automotive activities that involve autobody repair, painting, and replacement of parts for rental cars. The project would not include oil change services. The project site is zoned MB-CN, Mission Boulevard Corridor Neighborhood, and contains a Sustainable Mixed Use (SMU) land use designation in the Hayward 2040 General Plan.
