This property would operate in conjunction with the Dollar Rent-A-Car agency at 1815 Bayshore Highway and the existing 1 acre storage facility at 840 Cowan Road (lots 5, 6 and 7). The existing storage facility on Cowan Road is used to store up to 125 vehicles. The proposal involves expanding this facility to the vacant lots next door for the storage of an additional 175 vehicles for a total storage capacity of 300 vehicles. ' Currently this is a vacant 1.36 acre property which has been used for the illegal dumping of rubish. The proposed fencing in and paving of this property for use as a rental car storage yard would actually improve the aesthetics of the area. The area is fully developed with offices and a variety of light industrial uses, therefore this use should not have any negative effects on the noise level in the area. Vehicles will be traveling about 800 feet to the 1815 Bayshore site, a short enough distance that there should not be any negative effects on the air quality in the area. There will be no washing or repair of vehicles on this property, therefore water quality will not be affected. A traffic allocation was granted for this project on February 6, 1989. Potential traffic impacts of this use on the critical intersections in the area have been reviewed and it has been determined that the roadway system in the area can accommodate the additional trips to be generated by this use. In addition, since all vehicles will be stored on the property itself and there will be no employees on this property, the proposed use should not impact parking availability in the area. �� •r .,� ' � � � INITIAL STUDY: The Initial Study determined that the project, as proposed, will not cause any of the following effects: �%Q 1.
