Auto body shop rezone on 1-acre rural lot gets recommended denial
The county Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a request to rezone the lot to commercial for a three-bay auto body shop with six employees and a caretaker's residence. It would resolve a code violation for a shop operating since about 2021.

The application's description as it appears in Canyon County's record. See the official record
Jose Rodriguez asks Canyon County to rezone about 1.345 acres at 5903 E Orchard Ave near Nampa from Rural Residential to Service Commercial. The rezone would allow an auto body and vehicle service shop with six employees and three work bays, plus a caretaker's residence, and would resolve a code violation for a shop operating there since about 2021. County staff recommended denial because the area is residential and the City of Nampa opposes the request.
The applicant, Jose Rodriguez, requests an amendment to the official zoning map to conditionally rezone the property from Rural Residential “R-R” to Service Commercial “CR-C-2”. The requested rezone would allow for an auto body business/vehicle service facility and caretaker’s residence on Parcel R27917011.
