Special Permit to operate a truck rental agency at 808 Burlway Road. �,- This request by Aztec to add a Ryder Truck Rental agency to thei.r present car r rental business was studied by the Commission June 13. It was set for public hearing June 27, and then continued to July 25 to allow the applicant, Daryl • Nick, time to provide additional information. �erence staff letter to Azte� � ��d. 6.. 3�J � ��. 4 '.- : �r ' , � _ , . r r � ` . �- - 1� ,. . �� , ; ; - At the conclusion of`the July 25 publi;c hearing �the item was again continued to permit Aztec to "fully comply with all 1975 permit requirements." - Nothing further has been heard from Mr. Nick since this meeting, and no additional information has 5een received on Aztec's present (presumed) off-premise vehicle servicing and cleaning. Nor do we have a copy of an Aztec lease for 25 parking spaces at 855 Mahler Road. - Lacking adequate information, the Commission may wish to consider one of the Jfollowing alternatives: - a. Conditionally approve (for a specific period of time?) b. Continue the matter for a further 30 days. c. Deny tPie truck rental services requested but allow original special permit to continue. � � d. Deny the application and schedule hearing to consider revoking the 1975 special permit for a car rental agency. 2. Variance from side yard requirements to construct pool equipment and toilet rooms at 2525 Poppy Drive. - The proposed two room aecessory building would be no larger than 6' x 12'. - The new site plan shows the building projecting 10' forward of the imaginary line across the rear 30% of the lot behin� which Code Sec. 25.66.060 permits any accessory building to be constructed to a property line. - The fan shape of this lot gives a wider than average side yard to the Casey's house at the proposed location, and would enable the 6' wide building to observe the code requirement of a 4' separation from the house. - A 10' wide public alley runs along the entire 110' side property line, and increases the distance between the proposed building and the house at 2521 Poppy Drive to 16'+. _ - Color photos have been submitted which show the proposed location and adjacent buildings. - Can the four necessary findings be made to approve this application? �- � 3. Condominium Permit for the Bellevue Condominiums at 1210 Bellevue Avenue. - This will be a 4-story building with 25 condominium units and 47 covered parking spaces. - Note that the drawings submitted for the hearing are somewhat different from those presented at the study meeting. The changes that have been made are. largely to preserve existing City street trees, and involve minor adjustments to driveway and sidewalk lccations. - Plans should be evaluated with respect to the adopted condominium project guidelines and review criteria (copy attached for reference). - As designed, the project fully meets all zoning requirements. - Ref. Negative Declaration ND-122P. � -2- 4._ Tentative Subdivision Map for the Qellevue Condominiums. - Ref. separate report by City Engineer. 5. Condominium Permit for Casitas D'Oro at 1209 Oak Grove Avenue. - This is ar� application to construct a 3-story 15-unit condominium on a R-3 lot . that presently has 2 single-family houses: - The building would be approximately 30' in height and cover 50% of the 20,200+SF lot. - Plans should be evaluated with respect to the adopted condominium project guidelines and review criteria. - As designed, the project meets all zoning requirements. - Ref. Negative Declaration ND-123P. 6. Tentative Subdivision Map for Casitas D'Oro. - Ref. separate report by City Engineer. 7. Special Permit to sell hide-away beds and mattresses at retail in the M-1 District at 1333 Marsten Road. - Ref. Negative Declaration ND-124P. - Mr. Everett proposes to sublease approx. 3,620 SF of warehouse space from Caulking & Waterproofing Corporation, the present tenant at 1333 Marsten.' - Beds shipped�from Los Angeles would be set up in this area�and retail sales would be encouraged through ads in local newspapers. - Total Restinghouse sales would perhaps be 80% wholesale/20% retail. Everett estimates the retail volume would be $10,000 (per month?). - There is no off--street parking available from Marsten Road for Mr. Everett, his employees (if any), or his customers. Parking would be limited to the paved lot at the rear of the building, reached via a gate on Rollins Road, and shared with the vehicles and materials of Caulking & Waterproofing. A second gate on Rollins Road is proposed, which would necessitate a new curb cut and further reduce on-street parking in what is presently a congested area. Rollins Road has a pronounced curvature at this point, and vehicles entering or leaving the property will be somewhat at risk because of the short sight-lines. - Mr. Everett has not ye� come to any financial agreem`ent with either the property owner or the present t�nant. - The proposed retail sales are not compatible with the other business along Marsten Road. - It's hard to think of anything positive to say about this application. Staff cannot recommend approval. - A site visit is recommended before the hearing. 8. Tentative Parcel Map to combine property - Ref. separate report by City Engineer. - Tentative map goes to City Council for easement and terms for its maintenance. at 751 California Drive and 741 San Mateo Ave. considering acceptance of the ingress/egress 9. Sign Exception to permit an existing pole sign at 777 California Drive to be enlarged from 72 SF to 136 SF of total face area. - An existing 72 SF Michelin pole sign was erected with a Building Permit in June '77. - In July it was noticed that A&D Tire had added two 4' x 8' plywood panels to the pole sign, increasing its total signage to 136 SF. An abatement notice was sent to Mr. Buel Proffitt, the property owner, with a copy to A&D Tire Company. - On August IOth A&D Tire filed for a Sign Exception. The present application is to allow the two existing plywood panels to remain. { • 9. (Continued) -3- - Proposed total signage is 31 SF over the 105 SF inaximum permitted by Code Sec.' 22.16.020. - Planning Commission unanimously denied on March 14, 1977 an earlier application by A&D Tire Clinic for a 144 SF pole sign at this precise location. (Copy of 3/14/77 minutes attached for reference.) - The present proposal is for 136 SF of signage. Are the March findings still valid? �J JRY/s 0 John R. Yost Assistant City Planner
