PA92-088: On March 15, 1993, the Planning Commission approved a
Conditional Use Permit and site Development Review request
for the modification and expansion of the pre-existing

portion of the site.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
section 8-51.3.A.1 states that the establishment of a contractors or
other outdoor storage yard for equipment, if conducted within an area
enclosed by a solid wall or fence, requires approval of a Conditional Use
Permit by the Planning commission.
section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to
determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need; 2)
whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses,
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not
the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use will be
contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards
established for the district in which it is located.
section 8-95.010 site Development Review Intent/Purpose of the
zoning Ordinance states that site Development Review is a discretionary
review process intended to promote orderly, attractive and harmonious
site and structural development compatible with individual site
environmental constraints and compatible with surrounding properties and
neighborhoods; to resolve major project-related issues including, but not
limited to, building location, architectural and landscape design and
theme, vehicular and pedestrian access and on-site circulation, parking
-2-

and traffic impacts; to ensure compliance with development standards and
general requirements established for zoning and Planned Development
Districts, including, but not limited to, setbacks, heights, parking,
fences, accessory structures and signage; to stabilize property values;
and to promote the general welfare.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be categorically
Exempt from CEQA under section 15301, Class 1(a) of the California
Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The proposed outdoor storage yard
consists of the minor alteration of an existing private facility
involving negligible expansion of uses beyond that previously existing.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the September 20, 1993 hearing was
published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and
posted in public buildings.
ANALYSIS:
The Applicant, Jeff Ryan, representing Gettler-Ryan, Inc., is
requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and site Development
Review to allow the establishment of an outdoor storage yard within the
southern portion of the existing Chevron Records Retention Facility
parking lot, at 6400 Sierra Court.
The Gettler-Ryan company constructs, renovates and maintains service
stations for major oil companies. Their technical and administrative
offices will be located at 6747-J Sierra Court, within the Sierra Trinity
Office Park. The company has found it essential to locate their offices
in the same area as their corporation yard. The Sierra Trinity Office
Park does not possess the physical characteristics to permit the location
of an on-site storage yard. The Gettler-Ryan company is requesting
approval to locate their outdoor storage yard on the neighboring Chevron
site.
The proposed I36,250 square foot (145' x 250') outdoor storage yard
will be used to store: dump trucks; service trucks/pickups; trailer
mounted equipment (air compressors, etc.); construction tractors;
construction material (lumber, steel forms, sidewalk boxes, temporary
fencing panels, sand and concrete sacks); fiberglass/PVC pipe, skid tanks
and drums and a trash container.
Hazardous wastes will not be allowed to be handled, transported to
or stored within the storage area, with the exception of cement. The
Public Works Department has indicated that cement contains substances
which are considered hazardous. If cement is to be stored on site, it
must be within a container which would, in the case of upset or accident,
prevent discharge within the storm drain system. The Applicant will be
required to submit to annual inspections by the Public Works Department
to ensure compliance with this condition.
The storage yard will be completely enclosed by a chain link fence
with redwood or vinyl slats to provide screening. Two gates will be
utilized at the front and rear of the storage area to provide ingress and
egress. A minimum 20 foot wide unobstructed roadway will be maintained
through the storage area to allow adequate emergency vehicle access.
-3-
PAGE~Or "
Office space will not be maintained within the outdoor storage yard.
Employees will be based out of the off-site office. Field crews will
drive to the storage yard in the morning, load up their trucks with
equipment and supplies and head to the job site. In the evening, the
trucks and equipment are unloaded and returned to their designated spot
within the storage area. No automotive repair work, including the
washing of vehicles, is permitted within the storage area.
The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed project and
determined that the use would not result in a net increase in traffic.
This determination is based on the fact that the I13.43 acre Chevron site
is currently underutilized. The existing 204,800 square foot building
was originally constructed and operated as a manufacturing plant, but has
been used as a records retention warehouse for several years. A
manufacturing use could be established within this building as a
permitted use. The proposed storage yard will occupy an area equal to
approximately 106 parking spaces. Thirty vehicles will be parked within
the storage area. The Public Works Department has concluded that the
trip generation rate for a storage area occupying the displaced 76 spaces
is less than if the spaces remained available for site parking serving
the existing building.
It should be noted that if a manufacturing plant or other use
occupies the existing building, parking on-site will need to comply with
the provisions of the zoning Ordinance. This may require conversion of
the outdoor storage yard and/or the existing automobile auction use back
to parking which serves the building.
sierra Court was constructed without sidewalks installed on either
side of the street. The current General Plan policies encourage the
development of pedestrian circulation routes. In an effort to fulfill
this General Plan policy, the city requires the installation of
sidewalks, by the private property owners, as a condition of development
approval. Due to the limited amount of improvements associated with this
application, it would not be equitable to require the Applicant to
install sidewalks as a condition of approval. This will be accomplished
when the entire site is redeveloped.
The Applicant will be required to work with the police Department on
an ongoing basis to maintain an effective security program.
This application is in conformance with the provisions of the
General Plan. This application has been reviewed by other City
Departments and affected agencies and their comments have been
incorporated into the draft resolutions. staff recommends approval of
the Applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit and site Development
Review, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions of
approval, Exhibits Band C, respectively.

WRITIEN STATEMENT
Gettler-Ryan Inc. was founded in 1963 to construct, renovate and maintain
service stations for major oil companies. This experience has enabled the company to
build a solid reputation which is maintained today and is known throughout the
industry for excellence.
To better respond to the needs of our clients, we have expanded our services to
include experienced and versatile staff of environmental scientists, construction service
managers, and other technical personnel. Gettler-Ryan Inco's service capabilities offer
clients a "turnkey" approach to solve their construction management, construction and
environmental service needs.
Gettler-Ryan Inco's staff includes construction managers and technicians, safety
manager, geologists, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists with registered and
certified professionals providing technical oversight and project management within
their area of expertise.
Gettler-Ryan Inco's goal for the past three years has been to relocate the facilities
to the Dublin area. Geographically, this area is very attractive as it provides access to
all the major corridors in the Bay Area. Also, . it is centrally located to our existing
clients. Being centrally located to clients enables us to respond quickly to client needs.
The infrastructure of Gettler-Ryan Inc. has been built around the fact that the yard and
offices are located in the same area to provide the support needed to maintain the
companies reputation of being responsive.
The Gettler-Ryan Inc. technical and administrative offices are to be located at
6747 J Sierra Court, in the Sierra Trinity Office Park. This yard will be used to store
our construction vehicles and equipment as well as miscellaneous construction materials
and some customer owned equipment as per the attached inventory. We do not store
large quantities of construction materials, as for the most part, we buy these materials,
and take delivery at our job sites. But for efficiency, we do keep a small inventory of
materials in our yard. The customer owned equipment that we store is equipment that
our customers furnish for jobs and ship to our yard prior to installation at their
facilities.
It is important for us to have the office and yard facilities in close proximity for
our operations to have good control of the use of appearance of the yard area. This is
the only satisfactory location we have found existing in the Dublin area. Other than
this facility, our only options would be to relocate in Livermore, which is not desirable
to us.
Gettler-Ryan Inco's services supply a very important need to the community. We
concern ourselves with helping individuals to understand and work within the
guidelines that the regulatory agencies enforce to protect the environment we all live
in.

Our occupancy will in no way affect the health or safety of the people in the
surrounding area. The company does not transport, handle or store any hazardous
wastes. The activity of this property will be primarily in the early mornings and
evenings when vehicles are being driven off and onto the property. We generate a
small amount of trash from our yard operations, which fills one 4' x 8' trash dumpster
each week. We have listed a dumpster in our inventory for the removal of this trash.
There would be no noise, dust, or odors that our use would create in the area.
In fact, we are committed to improving the environment for all communities in the
Northern California area and understand the responsibility that we have to the
neighborhood and will maintain a professional presence. We pride ourselves in the
maintenance of our vehicles and have always kept our storage and office locations clean
and organized.
We respectfully request that you consider our request to occupy this location.
Thank you for your consideration.
