History: In January of 1999, a business license application was submitted to the City to operate a collision repair business at 801 Yelm Avenue West. At that time the business license
was granted, however, after researching the ordinances, this business should not have been allowed at that site.
Yelm Municipal Code 17.26 Commercial Zone C-1 prohibits Automobile Repair-Major in the C1 Zone.
17.06.129 Automobile Repair, Major: “Major automobile repair” means the rebuilding or reconditioning of motor vehicles or trailers, including trucks over one and one-half tons capacity,
collision service, including body, frame or fender straightening or repair, overall painting or paint shop.
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 17.93 Nonconforming Uses:

17.93.014 A nonconforming use of a structure, or land, shall not be extended or enlarged after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title by attachment on a building
or premises, or by the addition of other uses.
The City cannot approve any expansion of this business at this site.
