This equipment is currently stored on the east side of the site between the existing building and a chain link fence adjacent to the drive aisle. The fenced storage area occupies approximately 19,000 sq, ft. of the site, ITEM NO. D I COPIES TO: Applicant Owner File PA 87-052 The outdoor storage use is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation for the property. This item was continued from the July 20, 1987, Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting the Applicant expressed concern over the conditions 1) requiring an additional 6-foot tall fence located perpendicular to the existing 6-foot tall fence, 2) requiring items stored or stacked not to exceed the height of the fence, and 3) the Fire Department requirement for fire extinguishers within the storage area. On August 4, 1987, Staff met with the Applicant on site to discuss the proposed Conditions of Approval. The Applicant has made substantial improvements to the storage area since the July 20th Planning Commission meeting. These improvements include placement of redwood slats within the entire length of the existing chain link fence enclosing the storage area, the planting of supplemental landscaping along the eastern fence, and repair of existing irrigation lines. These improvements eliminate the need to require an additional fence and landscaping. On August 11, 1987, Staff met again with the Applicant to review modifications to the outdoor storage area. It was noted that storage items have been removed from the concrete walkway within the storage area. Additionally, with the exception of one tank which the Applicant has agreed to relocate to the west side of an existing storage shed, the storage area has been rearranged and organized to reduce the height of the stored and stacked items in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance requirement prohibiting the storage items to exceed the height of the fence.
