Staff
Staff is recommending the following items be conditions as a part of an issued building
permit for consistency with Conditional Use Permit 1992-011:
Recommendation:
1. Replacement of the existing drive approach with Caltrans Standard A87 drive
approach that includes a four -foot (4') wide pedestrian path.
2. Require a drainage study and accommodation of drainage on-site as a part of
the building permit.
3. The existing fence abutting the residential uses be replaced with a solid
masonry wall that is six -feet (6') in height, consistent with the approved CUP.
4. The gates of the trash enclosures be replaced with decorate fencing or other
type of decorative fencing that is consistent with the revised architecture of the
building.
5. Existing lights be modified and shielded to avoid light glare into the neighboring
residents.
Staff is supportive of the overall project. The applicant has met with Staff in numerous
occasions for potential new sites, however the site works for the current operations. The
project is substantially consistent with the previously approved CUP. Any
recommendations would be added as conditions to be performed as a part of the building
permit process. The applicant is looking to submit for building permits in early summer
with construction to commence in the Fall of 2013.
A brief staff report was presented by Assistant Planner Alfredo Castillo to the Design Review
Committee, outlining the CUP History dating back to 1993.
