Draft Excerpt February 22, 2007 Planning Commission Meeting Page 1 of4 A TT ACHMENT F (a) Matter of PLN2006-00101; consideration of modification to the Planned Development for Bayside Business Park to include outdoor storage as a conditionally permitted use; Site Plan Review for construction of a new 5,200-square-foot office building and a 13,200-square-foot mechanics building; and consideration of approval of outdoor storage related to a proposed construction rental business that would locate on Lots D & E at Bayside Business Park. The proposed outdoor storage would include empty storage containers (stacked two-high), temporary chain link fencing sections, portable toilets, and electrical power poles. Property is identified as Lots D and E of the Bayside Business Park industrial park subdivision, located at the corner of Business Center Drive and the unnamed cul-de-sac; Assessors Parcel Numbers 79A-591-6, 11; National Construction Rentals (Applicant); Bayside BC, LP (Property Owners). This item is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15332, as an in-fill development project. Secretary Poll art said that this item includes three discretionary actions for the Planning Commission. One is to modify the Planned Development to conditionally permit outdoor storage uses within Bayside Business Park. At this time, no outdoor storage is allowed, even as a conditionally permitted use. Secondly, the Commission is asked to consider approval of outdoor storage use associated with National Construction Rentals (which would include outdoor storage of power poles, chain-link fencing, portable toilets, and metal containers stacked two high); and lastly, Site Plan Review for construction of two new structures on merged Lots D and E at 1300 Business Center Place and 1330 Business Center Place (a 5,2oo-square-foot office building and 13,200- square-foot mechanics building). This is the east side of Business Center Drive. Surrounding uses include furniture wholesaling and equipment manufacturing in Buildings A, B, and C toward the north, FedEx Ground to the south, as well as vacant Lots F and G. To the west is the Davis Street Transfer Station (zoned IG Industrial General), and to the east are a variety of industriaVmanufacturing uses (zoned IG Industrial General). The City's Water Pollution Control Plant is also nearby, located to the north (zoned PS Public Service). When the subdivision was originally approved in late 2002, Buildings A, B, and C were built on speculation and now are occupied: . Former Building A was purchased and received a conditional use permit in late 2004 for Silkroute, a wholesale furniture operation, whose core business is warehousing and delivery of home improvement goods to retailers and designers throughout the United States. . NorCal Rigging, which assembles and installs large pieces of equipment, purchased and occupied Building Bin mid-2005. No discretionary permits were required for this use. . Last year, Building C was purchased and occupied by Calligaris USA, a furniture design and manufacturing business based in Northern Italy, to house a wholesale furniture warehousing and distribution operation. The warehousing operation required approval of a use permit.
