Description

Zoning question about the business at 281/291 3rd St (APN 1-151-2, zoned D-DT-C). ZC230279 approved Custom Manufacturing (§17.10.550) of custom furniture and cabinetry with accessory retail sales. The current operation appears to go well beyond that: - Large production machinery, including CNC panel-cutting equipment - No retail or sales space - Power-saw and wood-dumping noise audible inside neighboring residences throughout the day - Materials and machinery regularly in the sidewalk and street - Daily deliveries and company trucks double parked and loading in the travel lane - The company's public job postings describe a production team, shop stations, and production targets as it scales up My questions: 1. Does this operation still fit the Custom Manufacturing classification, or is it Light Manufacturing? 2. Custom Manufacturing now requires a Conditional Use Permit in D-DT-C, with indoor-only operations (Table 17.101K.01, note L13). What is this use's current status? 3. If the operation exceeds its approval, what is the next step?
