BACKGROUND• � There are two requests for traffic allocation in February. One is for an expansion of the Dollar Rent-A-Car storage yard at 840 Cowan Road, zoned M-1. The second is for a new car rental operation for Payless Car Rental at 1755 Bayshore Highway, zoned M-1. Dollar Rent-A-Car On December 21 the Planning Commission received a request from Dollar Rent-A-Car to fence and pave a 1.36 acre por�tion of the property which they rent at 840 Cowan Road. The purpose of the improvement was to expand the existing car rental storage use into this now vacant area. The presently used portion of the site accommodates storage of 125 vehicles; the new area would accommodate 175 more vehicles. The rental location for these cars is located at 1815 Bayshore Highway, across Cowan Road from the storage areas. . Public Works reviewed this request and determined that a traff�ic allocation was required for the expanded storage use. The Planning item� was held over pending the traffic allocation. The applicant�s request, however, was made before Council�s action on establishing criteria for car rental uses in the M-1 zone became effective (January 5, 1989). The traffic allocation request is for .12� at Broadway interchange intersection, .23� at the Airport Boulevard intersection and .08� at the � Peninsula interchange. The peak hour traffic impact on the critical intersections will be within the amount assigned in the model to this acreage. Thus the proposed use will not take capacity to which future � development may be entitled. This represents about 1� of the remaining capacity of each of the three critical intersections in the system. f' � 2 Payless Car Rental The Payless Car Rental company has requested a traffic allocation to operate a 250 car fleet from the 1.2 acre site adjacent to Sky Chefs fronting on Bayshore Highway. This is the site for which Thrifty Rent- A-Car made a traffic allocation application for a 100 car fleet in May, 1988 and for an additional 300 cars in the fleet in November, 1988. The 300 car addition was denied and the 100 car allocation allowed to remain. Thrifty Rent-A-Car did not pursue their project with the approved allocation for the l00 car fleet. Payless is now interested in the site. The proposed site is east of 101 and the applicant will be the sole tenant of the site. Public Works has reviewed the trip generation information history provided by the applicant and determined that a maximum of 250 cars could be rented a month (fleet size 250) from this site and still have the peak hour traffic impact on the critical intersections be within the amount assigned in the model to this acreage. � Therefore this use will not be using capacity to which other development may be entitled. The allocation request is for .7� at Airport, .4� at Broadway and .2� at Peninsula. Traffic Analyzer At the Council study meeting in January we discussed the need to review in greater detail the policies and planned implementation in the M-1 zoning district. This would be done in conjunction with the Planning Commission. Since the traffic analyzer is one of the basic concept.s underlying the land uses in the M-1 and C-4 zones, staff would like to update Council on the status of various projects with traffic allocation at the time we discuss policy and planned implementation in the M-1 zone. .

Proposal is for use of a 1.36 acre site for storage of rental vehicles. This property would operate in conjunct-ion withz-the. Dollar Rent-A-Car agency.at 1815 Bayshore Highway and the � existing I acre storage facility at �840 Cowan Road (1ots-5;-6 and 7). The existing storage facility on Cowan 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 vacant 1.36 acre property 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-noi�e�-level�- - in the area. The vehicles will-be traveling about l00 yards to � the 1815 Bayshore sit�, a short enough distance that there-should-i�- 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.
