PC92-53 FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO SE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION: 1 Opposed 2 Concerned OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Could be disruptive to the single-family residences and serenity of the area; they should be able to find a more suitable place for the church; did not want a car right up against the fence where people can stand on it. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Melt this was an excellent choice for a church because the piece of property was very unusual as it site back from the street and is landlocked with •.o access to the street; Standard Brands agreed to sell it to them with a permanent right-of-way through their existing aisle; they are planning to put up a barrier or block ;call eo that will help the residents to maintain their privacy; can manage 3 or 4 feet of landscaping.

To permit a truck yard/terminal with outdoor truck maintenance and repair services with waiver of permitted outdoor uses and required enclosure of outdoor uses. ~/ r ~/ CONDITIONAL US8 PERNIT NO. PC92-54 - ~' FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO HE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION• 1 OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Representative of Karl Karcher; should have 2 letters on file that they are against the application for this application; the screening of the outside fence is a step in the right direction; the trucking and truck repair ie a dirty and messy one; did not know how EIR could deal with waste soils, solvents, gasoline and general flammables; from what he can see there are no waste oil tanks or any type of conditions imposed or areas designated for the dealing of these materials; concern expressed regarding this being just a minor truck repair business. The impact on their property is a concern; they should be confined to a building; they are against this even though it ie allowed by Code. They ask that the proper enclosures be considered. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: To allow a truck yard terminal facility on the Bite with a waiver of permitted outdoor uaea; after due consideration and receipt of staff's comments, the particular waiver regarding site screening is being withdrawn; they did supply a letter indicating that they would comply with the Code requirement for thin issue; would propose to setback the front fence that is currently encroaching on the public right-of-way, 5-feet from the property line and provide landscaping in front of that fence and also provide slatting along that fence ae well as the western fence which is viewed from the public right-of-way area; the staff report makes reference to 3 driveways, however, there are only 2 currently in use; one driveway rune into the building se it would not be capable of being used; they did note the condition about reconstructing the driveway to provide the appropriate 15-foot radius curb return which they would be wi111ng to stipulate to. 4/20/92 ~- They realize there is an unimproved portion of property that is basically dirt on the eastern aide; that is being proposed for future parking purposes and do not intend to use that area of the property ~ for any purpose whatsoever until it is paved when they expand their facilities to necessitate the need to pave it; they will not be parking on it until it is paved and they come to the City with proper grading and paving plane. They are providing double screening for the proposed outdoor uae; the need for the outdoor uae is necessitated by the fact that there may be times when they will not be able to accommodate the repairs that have to take place inside the existing metal buildings; they proved to be smaller than what they initially anticipated; they will also need the building for warehousing of products that ar~a transported by the trucks; they transport paper products, therefore, there is no problem with transporting hazardous materials. He referenced condition no. 3 regarding fire sprinklers; to avoid possible confusion as to whether or not fire aprinl:lore are required, they suggest that they add a phrase at the end of this condition to say: "ae reouired by the Fire Deoartment." Suppose to provide screening in the northeast quadrant; per Code they would not have to provide the screening on the perimeter of the site if all they are doing ie parking; they are willing to provide screening along the perimeter with landscaping along Romneya as required by Code. It ie more costly for a block wall. The plane designate the truck parking area between the slatted fence ' which ie currently in front of the metal buildings and the office building; the proposed truck parking and outdoor repair and maintenance area are all in the back corner of the site (northwest). Would be wi].linq to provide the landscaping as proposed on the Romneya frontage with the 6-foot high slatted fence and the landscaping along the western edge with the slatted fence, however, the landscaping would be on the inside of the fence ae the fence is on the property line. The public would still see a slatted fence with landscaping behind it. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Concern expressed regarding the regulation of people parking on the dirt area; they have an opportunity to make some improvements; the condition of the property is blighted. Concern expressed regarding graffiti opportunities on the block wall; sound attenuation is a problem; could raise fence all around in order to mask the view of trucks; where are they going to park the trucke7 ~~...~ 4/20/92 Page 13 ~~ Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner, explained if this applicat:lon is approved, they would recommend a specific condition be inserted to make it clear that they will have to provide some kind of containment ~~ or storage ae required for this type of material. He stated they see this as a heavy use of the property and staff recommends that they erect a block wall adjacent to Romneya Avenue rather than a chain link fence; slate have a tendency to deteriorate over time. Based on the type of repair they are proposing and the type of screening they are providing, you would be able to see the trucks parked back there, however, they probably would not be able to physically see people moving around doing repair. Add condition any interior broken slate to be replaced; ACTION: CEQA Negative Declaration - Approved Waiver of Code Rewirement - Approved Waiver "A" (Petitioner withdrew Waiver "B") Conditional use Permit No. 3518 - Granted Subject to the following conditions: Landscape the west aide; keep existing fence; landscape the Romneya frontage and move the fence back to be in line with the Karcher property; fence to be 6-feet in height; repair broken slats if any; and pave within 90 days of occupancy.
