Zoning Work Session 4 June 11, 2001 "Cigarette Stores." Permanent regulations are proposed to replace the moratorium. All such business would require use permit approval, and, per the current Draft, would be subject to a 1,500-foot spacing requirement from other such businesses, as well as from schools, parks etc. "Convenience Stores" To be more consistent with the proposed spacing requirement of "Cigarette Stores" from schools, parks, etc, the spacing requirement of "Convenience Stores" would be increased from 500 to 1000 feet. "Liquor Beer and Wine Stores." To be more consistent with such similar uses as "Cigarette Stores" and "Convenience Stores," a new spacing requirement from schools, parks, etc, of 1,000 feet is proposed (there is currently no spacing requirement for "Liquor Beer and Wine" stores). IV. Change to City's Review Authority Over Some Industrial Uses and Activities ➢ Some uses (e.g., newly constructed storage warehouses and auto repair facilities) that are now "permitted" will become "discretionary," requiring use permit review and approval by the Board of Zoning Adjustments before they can begin. In the initial Draft, a wider range of industrial uses would have required use permit review. The Planning Commission, upon input from industrial business and property owners and their agents, directed staff to narrow the range of industrial uses that would require use permit review. ➢ A new use classification for "Parcel Processing and Shipping Facility" (e.g. hubs for such companies as DHL Fed Ex etc.) is being proposed to better classify this growing type of freight forwarding business. This use will generally be "permitted" without use permit review, but administrative review, (i.e. review and approval by the Zoning Enforcement Official), will be required for large, new facilities to review potential traffic and noise impacts. ➢ A 200' "buffer" area is proposed for those industrial areas adjacent to Residential Zoning Districts (other than areas separated from the Residential Districts by the 880 Freeway or a railroad mainline, which are exempted from the "buffer" requirements). The buffer regulations as currently proposed are: • To be implemented administratively (no use permit with public hearing will be required) • Mitigation for noise impacts will be regulated with a ministerial requirement for physical improvements at the time building permits for new truck bays are issued (e.g. rubber truck dock bumpers and installation of signage to encourage a reduction of extraneous noise — "be a good neighbor"). 16 \\1)WYS\USM\1)EPMS\CoreyQDnmg - staff reports\CC 2001-7-20- Worksession staff report 6-1 Ldoc
