COPIES TO: Applicant/Owner File PA 86-051 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-60.60 (Temporary Uses. Conditional Uses.) provides that in any district, temporary uses of a duration of sixty days or less that are not categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act shall be permitted only if approved pursuant to Section 8-94.0 (the Conditional Use Permit Process). 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 8-94.4 states that the approval of a Conditional Use Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the acceptance and observation of specified conditions, including but not limited to the following matters: a) Substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings; b) Limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities; c) Time period within which the approval shall be exercised and the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the approval shall lapse and be void; d) Guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval, including the posting of bond; e) Compliance with requirements of other departments of the City/County Government. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance has been prepared for this application on the basis that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the June 16, 1986, hearing was published in The Herald, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant is requesting approval to temporarily store up to a maximum of 60 cars on a portion of the vacant lot adjoining the existing Pontiac/Toyota Car Dealerships. The Applicant advised Staff that he is anticipating receiving additional new vehicles from both car manufacturers that will extend his total inventory temporarily beyond the capacity of the existing dealership layout (see Attachment #1). The requested Conditional Use Permit would provide temporary vehicular storage for approximately 60 days on a 120' x 240' portion of the vacant, undeveloped lot adjoining the east side of the car dealership. The Applicant's Written Statement of June 3, 1986, requests authorization to temporarily store wholesale cars and to provide space for excess employee parking. While Staff can support a conditional approval of temporary storage of the wholesale units, it has difficulty seeing merit in the request to allow use of the portions of the lot for employee parking. Differences between the two types of parking basically boil down to the frequency of movement of vehicles in and out of the lot. The area is unimproved (i.e., a dirt lot) and is accessed by an unimproved driveway connection to Dublin Court. The existing car dealerships were approved in 1980 and were required to maintain a on-site parking spaces for employee or vendor parking, for cars awaiting -2- service for customer or visiting parking. Irregard1ess of the space "pinch" the Applicant will temporarily encounter, the Staff cannot support any relief to the obligation to provide normally required on-site parking. The City has previously processed a complaint against the Applicant for not maintaining parking areas on-site for his employees. The use of the temporary lot for storage of wholesale cars is considered acceptable on a short term basis as it will involve less movement of vehicles in and out of the lot and will not be accessible by the general public. If the Planning Commission sees merit in this request it should keep in mind the precedent the approval may set for similar future requests. An approval of the project should be tightly conditioned to provide for a narrowly defined entitlement that will be consistent with the intent of the C-2, General Commercial District and will not involve any retail activity within the temporary vehicle storage area. It should be noted that the City has previously processed a complaint for storage and display. While Staff is generally supportive of the application, if modified to provide for storage of only wholesale vehicles, Staff does encourage the Planning Commission to indicate that the approval is to be viewed as a one-time only permit. Staff strongly recommends that the Applicant be advised that any subsequent request to utilize the vacant property for overflow parking or storage will be sanctioned only upon the approval of a standard Conditional Use Permit and the provision of a fully improved site, which would include site paving, drainage and landscaping and would be required to be accompanied by normal frontage improvements along Dublin Court. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above Staff Report, Staff finds the request appropriate (modified to disallow employee parking within the temporary lot) and recommends the Planning Commission FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Consider and act on two draft Resolutions: A - A Resolution regarding the Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance B - A Resolution regarding the Conditional Use Permit ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission Adopt Exhibits A and B adopting a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance for the project and approving Conditional Use Permit Application PA 86-051. -3- ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A - Draft Resolution adopting a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance Exhibit B - Draft Resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit Application Background Attachments: 1 - Applicant's Written Statement 2 - Location Maps 3 - Partial Site Plan 4 - Draft Negative Declaration -4- RESOLUTION NO.
