The Chico Planning Commission came to no decision Thursday night about Chico Scrap Metal’s relocation.
With the commission closely divided and two members missing, Chair Toni Scott decided against taking a vote on the issue.
Neighbors who spoke in favor of relocation at the meetingt said the business is an eyesore that attracts long lines of cars and criminals who are trying to sell stolen property.
Chico Scrap Metal’s location has been an issue since 1983 after it was forced to move from Humboldt Street to its current location on East 20th Street.
Even without a recommendation from the Planning Commission, the City Council will consider the company’s relocation May 3.
