The site is currently an auto salvage yard zoned M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing) and is surrounded by residential and some commercial uses.

Staff notified 101 surrounding property owners; zero written responses were received, though staff received a voicemail from the adjacent property owner indicating opposition (no written response received).
