First Street, Suite 315 San Jose, CA 95131 6878-6894 Village Parkway 941-210-09 1.1+ acre Retail/Office and Automotive Development Zone 10: Village Parkway Mixed Use C-2-B-40 General Commercial Combining District/Retail, Wholesale and Auto Repair ITEM NO. $,I COPIES TO: Applicant Owner PAGE.L.OF Address File SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: ZONING HISTORY: S-351: V-5333: North: Office Building/C-2-B-40 South: Retail Building/C-2-B-40 East: Village Parkway Public Right -of - Way, Retail Commercial (Furniture Gallery, Patio World)/C-2-B-40 West: Highway I-680 On March 24, 1971, the Planning Director approved a Site Development Review for the construction of a warehouse and showroom. On March 24, 1971, the Zoning Administrator approved a Variance reducing the required side yard from 20 feet to 10 feet. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-49.2 states that an automobile storage lot is a Conditional Use in a C-2 District. 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. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15303, Class 3(e) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. This use consists of the construction of an accessory structure (fence and storage lot). NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 5, 1991 hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to establish an automobile storage lot to be located in the southwest corner of the property at 6878-6894 Village Parkway. The 20 foot by 50 foot automobile storage lot is proposed to store cars towed at the request of the California Highway Patrol. This short term storage will accommodate a maximum of 5-6 cars at one time with a typical PAGE OE -2- duration of 1-3 days per car. Towed cars will be brought to and stored in the lot 24 hours a day. The existing auto repair businesses on the site operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Applicant proposes to erect a 6 foot tall chain link fence across the east side of the proposed storage lot. The fence will consist of a series of gates which will open in three places. The proposed fence will be topped by 3 strands of barbed wire and will continue along the existing south and west fences. The draft resolution contains a condition of approval requiring the chain link fencing to be vinyl clad with redwood slats. The Applicant's proposal does not provide adequate vehicular back-up space between the southern most gate and the adjacent parking spaces. Staff has discussed this issue with the Applicant and the Applicant has agreed to eliminate the southern most gate and continue the fencing to the property line. A condition of approval is included in the draft resolution requiring elimination of the southern most gate. The Applicant has also agreed to locate the trash dumpster within the fenced enclosure since the site currently does not contain a trash enclosure. Based upon the existing uses, the project site requires a total of 29 parking spaces. Currently 30 parking spaces exist on site. The eighteen 90 degree parking spaces along the south property line are currently unmarked. The property owner is planning to have the entire site restriped. Staff has informed the Applicant that all parking spaces must be double -striped. Additionally, one parking space adjacent to the existing handicapped ramp must be identified as a handicapped parking space as required by Title 24 of the Uniform Building Code. A site check has also revealed that the area along the south property line near the southern driveway entrance is used for parallel parking. This parking reduces the drive aisle to less than an adequate width. Staff recommends that the curb along this area be painted red and marked "No Parking". All of these parking concerns are addressed in the draft resolution. The automobile storage lot is in compliance with the City's Zoning Ordinance, General Plan and the Downtown Specific Plan. This project has been reviewed by other City departments and agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the conditions of approval of the draft resolution. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolutions, Exhibit B and C. RECOMMENDATIONS: FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. PAGE -3- OF 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Adopt resolutions approving Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review for PA 91-041, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt resolutions Exhibit B and C, conditionally approving PA 91-041 Dublin Auto Body Automobile storage Lot Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review.
