Special Permit for Office Area < 20%, and Parking Variance Amendment for
Total Number of Stalls and Number of Compact Stalls
Address: 1525 Adrian Road Meeting Date: 2/12/96
Request: Special Permit for 29 % Office, and Parking Variance Amendment for Total Number
of Stalls and Compact Number of Stalls at 1525 Adrian Road, zoned M-1 (C.S. 25.44.030 22
and 25.70.030 i and k).
Applicant: Greg Caplan, Speedmark Transportation, Inc., and N.N. Gabbay, architect
APN: 025-273-010
Property Owner: Anthony and Annie Tsou
Lot Dimensions and Area: 0.97 Acres
General Plan: Industrial and Office Uses Zoning: M-1
Adjacent Development: Warehouses and auto repair
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301- Existing Facilities, Class
1(a), Interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and
electrical conveyances: and 15311 - Accessory Structures Class 11 (b) consists of construction,
or placement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional
facilities, including but not limited to; (b) Small parking lots.
Previous Use: Medical supply company
Approved Use: Freight forwarding company of electronic and computer equipment -
Speedmark Transportation (Special permit approved on November 28, 1994)
Allowable Use: Trucking and motor freight terminals with a special permit
Summary: A trucking/freight forwarding company (22,100 SF) is proposing to convert 2,000
SF of warehouse into office area at 1525 Adrian Road. This will increase the total amount of
office area by 9% to 29% (6,400 SF). In this zoning district a special permit is required for
ofiice area over 20%. Because of the intensification of the office use on the site a pazking
variance amendment is required for total number of stalls and for compact number of stalls.
History: This freight forwarding business (with 20% office) was granted a special permit, for
the use and parking variance for four stalls, from the Planning Commission on November 28,
1994 (December 6, 1995 letter from M. Monroe to Lany Weinstein and November 28, 1994
P.C. Minutes). In February, 1995 the Planning Commission reviewed a parking variance
amendment for this same address and use. The applicant requested a parking variance for one
additional sta11 (total5) to save a tree at the entrance to the parking lot. By preserving this tree
one compact parking stall was lost. With the approval of this parking variance amendment the
1
SPECIAL PERMIT AND PARRING VARIANCE AMENDMENT 1525 Adrinn Road
total number of parking stalls on site was reduced from 29 to 28 (February 7, 1995 letter from
M. Monroe to L. Weinstein and February 13, 1995 P.C. Minutes).
Special Permit for 29% Office: The applicant, Speedmark, Inc. is now requesting to convert
an additiona12,000 SF of warehouse area into office area. The office area on site will increase
from 4,400 SF to 6,400 SF (29%) while the warehouse area will decrease to 15,700 SF (71%).
The previous special permit and parking variance application both had 4,400 SF (20%) of ofiice,
within the allowed 20 % masimum. There has been an increase of three employees from the
January, 1995 application (11 employees to 14 employees). Speedmark projects that they will
have 17 employees in iive years and that this is the m�imum number that will ever be required
for their business. The ma�cimum number of employees and visitors projected to be on site at
any one time is 18.
Parking Variance for Three Stalls: By converting wazehouse to office an increase of iive
parking stalls will be required. This is the difference of 2,000 SF of office at 1 space per 300
SF minus wazehouse at 1 stall per 1,000 SF (2000/300 - 2000/1000 = 5 stalls). With the
addition of 5 stalls to the approved 28 stalls from the February 13, 1995 parking variance
amendment, the new required parking total will be 33 stalls. The applicant is proposing 30 stalls
by adding one compact and one standard stall to the approved 28 stalls for a total of 30 stalls.
(They will remove the tree they previously asked to retain). The required number of stalls is 33.
Since the proposed total number of stalls (30) is three less than the required amount (33 stalls)
a parking variance amendment is required for three parking stalls (33 - 30 = 3). If this were
a new building it would require 37 parking stalls for the total amount of warehouse and office
area. The applicant has indicated that the mascimum number of stalls he will need for his
business is 22.
Two stalls have been added to the existing 28 stall parking lot to achieve the 30 stall total. One
compact stall has been added where it was previously deleted to save a tree at the parking lot
entrance. The Parks Director notes (January 25, 1996 memo) that the landscaping removed
along David Road should be replaced with six (6), 15 gallon trees with groundcover. Another
stall has been added in the 10'-0" public utility easement to the south of the building. The City
Engineer had no comments regarding placing required parking or paving in this easement
(January 16, 1996 memo).
Parking Variance for One Compact Stall: The February 13, 1995 parking variance
amendment granted a parking variance for a total of 28 parking stalls, 3 of which were compact
(11%). The present request is for 30 stalls with 4 compact stalls (13%). Three (3) compact
stalls are allowed for 30 stalls. Thus a parking variance for one compact stall is required, four
(4) compact stalls are proposed where three (3) are allowed.

Staff Comments: City staff have reviewed this application. The City Engineer, Fire Marshal,
and the Chief Building Inspector (January 16, 1996 memos) had no comments. The Parks
Director indicates (January 25, 1996 memo) that the removal of the last tree along David Road
would leave no landscaping on that side of the property. He recommends that six (6), 15 gallon
trees and groundcover with irrigation be planted to mete current landscape requirements for a
building of this size.
