Applicable Regulations: Section 8-51 .3 of the Zoning Ordinance states that an
"outdoor storage yard for equipment and supplies, if conducted within an area
enclosed by a solid wall or fence" is a permitted Conditional Use in an M-1
District if approved by the Zoning Administrator. Section 8-94.0 of the Zoning
Ordinance states that Conditional Uses "require special review and appraisal in
each instance, in order 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 and
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity,
3) whether or not the use, if permitted will , under all the circumstances and
conditions of the particular case, materially affect adversely the health or
safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements
in the neighborhood, 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 to be
located. "
Environmental Review: Categorically exempt, Class 5, Minor Alterations in
Land Use Limitations.
ANALYSIS
Bedford Properties, the appellant, is seeking denial of the conditional use
permit granted to Scotsman's Mobile Lease Co. The letter of appeal states
that Scotsman's Mobile Lease Co. is in violation of the Declaration of Restric-
tions for the San Ramon Industrial Park. These restrictions indicate that
all buildings shall be constructed in accordance with the following standards
unless an exception is approved in writing by the architectural control committee:
a) exterior walls shall be of masonry or concrete.
The Zoning Ordinance states that M-1 (Light Industrial ) Districts are established
"to provide for and encourage the development of light industrial , manufacturing
and processing uses in areas suitable for such use, and to promote a desirable
and attractive working environment with a minimum of detriment to surrounding
properties. " (Section 8-51 .0)
The applicant obtained a Site Development Review approval for the structure and
a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage of mobile offices.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Deny the appeal and approve the Scotsman's Mobile Lease Co. , Inc. , Conditional Use
Permit, DC-14 with the findings and conditions as stated in Zoning Administrator
Resolution No. Z-4719. The reasons for this action are:
1 . The appellant's stated concern with the exterior of the building is a Site
Development Review issue. The Conditional Use Permit deals with the continued
outdoor storage of mobile office units. The appropriate action would have been
for the appellant to appeal the Site Development Review.
2. The application meets the specific regulations for conditional uses.
3. The City is not in a position to enforce the conditions, covenants and
restrictions (CC & R's) of a private development. CC & R's which exceed zoning
requirements are private matters between the property owners in the private development.

PRE-HEARING ANALYSIS, MAY 19, 1982
SCOTSMAN'S MOBILE LEASE, CO., INC.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, DC-14
Application for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow continued storage of mobile
offices in an "M-1" (Light Industrial) District, located at 6803 Sierra Court, east side,
1850' north of the intersection with Dublin Blvd., Dublin, Assessor's No. 941-205-27.
PERTINENT FACTS:
History: January 11, 1979, Conditional Use Permit C-3324 and C-3325 initially authorized
outdoor storage and maintenance of mobile offices and use of a temporary office trailer
subject to approval of a landscaping plan, expiration of the temporary office trailer
in one year and expiration of the outdoor storage use in three years..
. February 11, 1981, Conditional Use Permit C-3946 permitted continued storage and
maintenance of mobile offices and a temporary use of a mobile office, expiration
in one year.
Size of Parcel: Approximately 1.1 acres.
Physical Features: Level rectangular property.' The front 40' of depth is landscaped. •
The remainder of the property fenced with chain link fence with redwood slats. Behind
a gate entering the center of the property is a paved parking area providing five parking
spaces in front of the existing mobile office on a permanent foundation. The remainder
of the property contains stock of mobile offices.
Adjacent Area: Bank of America corporate headquarters adjacent southerly. Generally
in the area, good quality light industrial development.
Environmental Impact: Categorically exempt, class 5d.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
• Inspection of the property showed that landscaping and fencing materials have
been adequately maintained. Since the prior application, the formerly temporary
mobile office has been placed on a permanent foundation, removing the requirement
for the conditional use permit.
• A finding of public need was made on the original application, based upon a
list of clients and the need for temporary offices to support young businesses.
The outdoor storage use continues to be somewhat out of character with the area
and should be limited as a temporary use.
FINDINGS REQUIRED:
'' 1. Is the use required by the public need?
Yes. The use is required by the public need as evidenced by past successful operation •
and the need for temporary facilities by young businesses.
2. Will the use be properly related to other land uses and transportation and service
facilities in the vicinity?
Yes. The use is a bonafide industrial use in support of other young industrial uses
in the area and access and all services are available in the urban area.
3. Will the use, if permitted, under all the circumstances and conditions of this particular
case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or working
in the vicinity, or be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to .
property or improvements in the neighborhood?
No, not detrimental as a temporary use.

PAGE 2
FINDINGS REQUIRED (CONTINUED):
4. Will the use be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards
established for the District in which it is to be located?
Properly landscaped and screened as it is, the use is consistent with the intent
of the District as a temporary use.
PRE-HEARING RECOMMENDATION:
Approval subject to the requirement of solid fencing surrounding the outdoor storage and
expiration in three years.
