Cedar Rapids Planning and Development Commission revised two master zoning provisions on auto repair in residential districts and front yard parking. Spot body work and painting were added to outside maintenance allowed in residences, with a 48 hour repair limit. Front yard parking rules tighten for multi family districts while allowing limited driveway parking in agricultural and single family areas. A formal definition of a driveway is included to curb misuse. The commission plans an open meeting next Thursday at 3 pm to consider final ordinance approval, with possible council review and later appeals to the board of adjustments for hardships.
