Tesla Car Rental (UPM)

Sacramento County has issued a Minor Use Permit to authorize automobile rental operations at an existing major auto repair facility within the McClellan Park Special Planning Area, a former U.S. Air Force base now zoned for industrial use. The rental vehicles will be stored on an existing paved area of the parcel, and all retail activities, including customer service and vehicle handoffs, will occur inside the currently occupied 140,895 square foot building. The site is fully developed with adequate paved parking and landscaping, and is situated along a four-lane roadway with no environmental sensitivities, making it suitable for this expansion of use without requiring new construction or significant site modifications. The project is formally titled Tesla Car Rental and is managed under the jurisdiction of Sacramento County, with Julie Newton serving as the primary point of contact as Environmental Coordinator. The applicant, Joey Ly, has initiated the process to expand the facility’s operations to include vehicle rentals, leveraging existing infrastructure to minimize environmental and urban planning impacts. The permit is being processed through the county’s environmental review system, with public documentation accessible via the CEQA Net portal, and although no solicitation or set-aside information is provided, the nature of the request suggests it is a land use adjustment rather than a procurement or funding opportunity.
