Mr. DeLuca addressed the Commission regarding the application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the existing truck stop and weigh station to continue in operation at 6117 Dougherty Road. Regular Meeting PCM-3-78 7/2/84 ~ ~ The Conditional Use Permit for the truck stop and weigh station was originally approved by Alameda County on March 4, 1981. The County specified that the Use Permit would be reevaluated at the end of a three year period, which would be March 4, 1984. This request is for a renewal of the Conditional Use Permit issued by Alameda County. Staff recommends that a Negative Declaration be adopted on the basis that the project should not have a significant impact on the environment. The two principal issues associated with this request are 1) a recent oil spi11 and diesel leak which occurred at the site and 2) bringing the site up to an acceptable standard consistent with other projects recently approved in the area. With respect to the first issue, the IT Corporation report concluded that the spill was not as severe as originally thought and removal of the contaminated soil was the most appropriate solution. The removal of the contaminated soil has been done to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. With respect to the second issue, it should be noted that the parcel does not have the appropriate frontage improvements, contains no landscaping, is not paved or drained properly and has an accumulation of debris stored on the site. Most of these irnprovements should have been installed when the County approved the original Conditional Use Permit in 1981. It is now the responsibility of the City to require the necessary improvements. Since approximately only two thirds of the site is being utilized for the trucking operation, it is recommended that the required improvements correspond with this portion of the site. The remaining one third of the site can be cleaned of all debris and fenced off. This portion could not be utilized for any use unless the appropriate improvements were installed. Mr. Archer, a Civil Engineer representing Fred Houston, applicant, addressed the Planning Commission and indicated that the applicant was in the process of subdividing the property and installing the required public improvements. He felt that all the improvements, public and private, could be handled under one bond. Mr. Archer stated that all the required public and private improvements would be installed in six months. The applicant, Fred Houston, stated he did not want to submit two bonds because the bond fees were too high. Mr. Houston indicated that if the improvements were not completed in six months, he would close the truck stop business. Mr. Tong addressed the Planning Commission and reinforced the need for two bonds. It was noted that if the subdivision was not processed, staff would not have a bond to guarantee the installation of the private, onsite improvements or the Dougherty Road improvements. Regular Meeting PCM-3-79 7/2/84 ~ ~ Commissioner Raley moved that the public hearing be closed. Commissioner Petty seconded the motion and it was passed by unanimous vote. Commissioner Petty moved that the Commission adopt the Negative Declaration Resolution. Commissioner Mack seconded the motion and it was passed by unaminious vote.
