ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: SUPS-96-06 - Request for a special use pennit to continue
operating a temporary truck terminal/trailer storage yard at 2400 Faivre
Street - California Multi-Modal, Inc. and H.G. Fenton Material Company
The Applicants are requesting permission to continue operating a temporary truck terminal/trailer
storage yard at the property located at 2400 Faivre Street (west end of Faivre Street - APN 622-
190-15). This use was originally approved on July 11, 1990 and conditioned to operate under
Conditional Use Permit PCC-90-02 (Exhibit 1). The Project received an extension on August
13, 1993 (Exhibit 2). The property is approximately 9.64 acres in size. The proposal is to use
only the northerly 3.0 acres (Exhibit 3 Locator Map and site plan attached to the Addendum).
The operator of the property will be California Multi-Modal, Inc., which operates on the
property immediately to the west and will continue using this property for storage of truck
trailers. Subject parcel is located in the Montgomery Community/Southwest Redevelopment
Area.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has issued an Addendum (1S-96-08) to the original
Negative Declaration IS-90-09M dated December 29, 1989 (Attachment 2).
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the Addendum IS-96-08 to
Negative Declaration IS-90-09M and attached Resolution No. SUPS-96-06 recommending that
the Redevelopment Agency approve the application to continue operating a truck terminal/storage
yard pursuant to the attached Draft Redevelopment Agency Resolution No.
(Attachement 1).
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics/Existine Uses: Subject property has been used since mid-1990 as a
truck terminal/storage yard by California Multi-Modal, Inc. (CMI). No strucbJres exist
on the site. CMI has its offices and employee parking on the parcel immediately to the
west. The 9.64 acre site is located on the south side of Faivre Street at Jacqua Street and
within the 100 year floodplain. The southerly 6.64 acres is located within the floodway.
The site is also located within the California Coastal Zone.

3. Prooosal: The Applicants are requesting permission to continue the use of the parcel as
it has been used since mid-l990 as a truck terminal/storage yard. The plan provides
space to accommodate approximately 134 2O-foot long trailers and about 94 40-foot long
trailers. A trailer is located along the westemproperty line and functions as guard
building. No permanent improvements were approved under PCC-90-02, nor are any
requested as part of this permit.
Various items are transported to and from the site from Long Beach, throughout the
United States and overseas. The requested hours of operation are 6:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m. Monday through Sunday. The previous approval was from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. In light of the
existence of a residential area long Jacqua Street, staff is recommending that the
originally approved hours of operations be maintained.
4. Analvsis: The site is designated "Whitelands" in the Montgomery Specific Plan (MSP),
which is a "special comprehensive study" area, and is within the Southwest
Redevelopment Area (SRA). The site is also part of the Otay River Valley Regional
Park.
Because the area is located within the Whitelands Study Area, the SRA and the Regional
Park, staff has included a condition of approval which requires that the use be limited
to a maximum of one year, with the possibility of one year extensions for a maximum
of five years. Albeit a comprehensive study is being undertaken at present to determine
the highest and best use of the property, it is anticipated that the results of this study will
not be known for at least one year. Therefore, the landowner, H.G. Fenton Company,
should be allowed viable economical use of their land on a temporary basis.
Approving this permit for a limited period of time (one year with a maximum tenure of
five years), the use would be consistent with the intent of the MSP and would protect the
public's future interest in the Whitelands.
The extension requests will be processed by submittal of a letter to the Zoning
Administrator by the Applicants prior to the anniversary date each year. The Zoning
Administrator will review the request to determine if there have been any changes,
materially or operationally, which may merit further review, or take into consideration
the status of any special studies being undertaken. If there are no such changes, thenextension can be approved by the Zoning Administrator for a. one year period for a
maximum of five years. If there are material or operational changes, the Zoning
Administrator may do one of two things. First, he/she may add conditions, as
appropriate, if the changes are not of a nature that can not be easily identified and
addressed. Second, if the changes are more complex, in the oPinion of the Zoning
Administrator. he/she may require that the matter be set for a public hearing before the
Project Area CommitteelPlanning Commission. In the event a special study is
applicable, the Zoning Administrator may, at hislher sole discretion, deny any further
Page 3, Item: 3
Meeting Date: 09/11/96
extensions.
5. Conclusion: Staff has concluded that the use of the Project Site as a temporary truck
terminal/trailer storage yard is an appropriate use until. such time as a more
comprehensive land use study can be completed and more suitable land uses can be
defmed for the area.

Vista is able to make fmdings in support of the Project as required by'the City's rules
and regulations for the issuance of special use pennits, as hereinbelow set forth, and sets
forth the evidentiary basis for approval of the proposed Project:
1. That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the
neighborhood or the community.
The proposed temporary truck terminal/trailer storage area provides for the
storage of various items of material and equipment that are useful to the continued
operation of businesses within the community.
2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular. case, be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or
(m:\home\planniDa:\martin\femon\faivre\9606ra.rcs)

Resolution No.
Page #3
working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the

The proposed temporary truck terminal/trailer storage area presents a neat, well
ordered appearance and will be separated from nearby residents by Faivre Street
and will not result in impacts which would adversely affect humans or
surrounding properties.

specified in the code for such use,
The proposed storage area will complies with the applicable conditions, codes and
regulations for the Montgomery Specific Plan area.

general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The site is located in the "Whitelands" special comprehensive study area and a
specific plan designation for this area has not yet been determined. With the
approval of a special use pennit allowing this use for a temporary period, and the
Planning Department's ability to phase out this use if open space is determined
to be the best for the area, this project will be consistent with the applicable plans
and policies.

PROJECT APPLICANT: H.G. Fenton Material Company
PROJECT AGENT: Allen M. Jones
CASE NO.: IS-96-08
DATE: June 6, 1996
I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the Environmental Review
Coordinator (ERe) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact
Report, if one of the following conditions is present:
1. If some changes or additions are necessary to a previously certified EIR but none of the
conditions described in Section 15 I 62 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have
occurred.
2. If only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to an adopted Negative
Declaration
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide an updated environmental analysis of the
proposal to extend the existing use of the site. Minor technical changes/additions analyzed here
include: public service impacts and the need for a wetland habitat restoration plan concerning the
northern portion of the wetland area which was illegally filled but has been restored and
revegetated.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the
following addendum to the Negative Declaration for the IS-90-9M.
II. PROJECT SETIING
The project setting consists of approximately 3.0 acres of land located south of Faivre at
Jacqua Street and is located within the Otay River IOO-year floodplain. The parcel is
dissected horizontally by a fIre access road. Under provision of the expired Special Use
Permit, the northern portion of the site is being used as a temporary truck and trailer
storage. The southern portion of the site. is wetland area. This portion slopes towards the
Otay River and is located within the floodway. It is comprised of riparian scrub and ruderal
field. Surrounding uses include: mini-storage, industrial warehousing, ear sales and single
family residences to the north, the Otay River to the south, a towing impound yard and
vehicle storage to the east and 8 truck and trailer storage to the west.
~ /c')
m. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The original use permit for this parcel has expired, therefore, the applicant is requesting
a new Special Use Permit. The expired permit allowed for temporary use of the property
including vehicle parking and storage, equipment yard, offices, custodial and security
facilities and other related activities. The granting of an extension to the expired Special
Use Permit would allow for a continuance of those uses. The southern ponion of the site
is wetland and will remain undeveloped, however, a ponion of the wetland area was
f1Iled. A wetland habitat restoration plan has been prepared (see attached), and a
replanting effort is underway to bring this area back to its natural state. The Depanment
of Fish and Game has granted a Streambed/Lake Alteration Permit (Streambed/Lake
Alteration Notification No. 5-021-96) regarding this restoration project. An NPDES
(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit and an SWPPP (Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan) permit will be required.
Surrounding residents and business owners have expressed a variety of concerns
regarding the project site and vicinity (see attached letter). Several of the speed, parking
and vehicle repair concerns are law enforcement issues and the Police Department will
be made aware of the concerns. Also, the City currently has no plans regarding street
improvements on Faivre between Jacqua and Broadway. Finally, there has been only
one reponed accident from 1991 to present in the project vicinity. This shows the area
to be below State standards for traffic related concerns. The applicant has installed "no
parking" signs on the fence along the northern perimeter of the site. Neighbors believe
that this is forcing CMI employees to park on Jacqua which is reducing residential
parking in the vicinity of the site. It will be required that all staff/driver parking be
contained on-site. In reference to the dust problem created by the project site, the
applicant has incorporated the use of a potassium chloride product which is sprayed on
the site to control dust.
Engineering staff state current drainage is not adequate to seIvice this parcel. There is
no storm drain system on-site. Due to the encroachment into the wetland area and the
filling-in of an earthen drainage swale along the southern perimeter, severe drainage
problems exist on-site. The drainage problem at the northwest comer of the property
line must be corrected to prevent flooding in the Faivre Street cul-de-sac. In addition,
curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements will be required from Jacqua Street to the
western terminus of Faivre. A minimum IS-foot drainage easement along the entire
easterly property line is required The applicant will be required to participate
fmancially with these improvements.
A Special Use Permit granting the extension is required. A portion of the site is in the
California Coastal Zone, however, the California Coastal Commission's "California Code
of Regulations" Section 13050.5 states that a coastal development permit shall only be
required on those ponions of a development actually located within the coastal zone.
Since there will be no development on the portion of the parcel located within the
coastal zone, no permit will be required.

IV, CONCLUSION
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above
discussion, I hereby fmd that the project revisions to the proposed project will result in
only minor technical changes or additions whicQ are necessary to make the Negative
Declaration adequate under CEQA

Re: California Multimoclal Upclate
Dear Barbara:
You mJIIcstcd an updaled status report on California Multimodal' s wetland megelation project
on Faivre Street in Chula Vista. A Merkel & Associate! letter of July 3 I, 1996 documented the
installation of Ibe wetlaDds for Ibe California Deparunent of FIIh and Game.
Yesterday. September 3. 1996, I visited the site to determine !be latest site conditions and lOok
a series of photos to provide additional documentation. The revegetation site is being well-watered and
most of tile wetland plantings are vigorous and have grown substantially since my last visit to the site
on July 28, 1996. The willows and cotIonwoods appear to be growing particularly well in the cobbly
soil. Another M&A teclmi<:11 staff member is more regularly monitorina the site 10 insure the
iIrigation system is functioning properly and 10 report on any signiflClllt changes in site SIatUS. The
water availability is such lllat a good cover of weedy growth is also expanding 1broughout the
revegetation area among the native plantings. A number of these p~y non-native specics are
welcome as they provide shade and help limit surficial drying of the topsoil and deter e;w!SSive
evaporation during the bot and surwy laic sununer and filii months wilen ....ter stRss can be intense.
Two weedy species. Cocklebur (){anthiUln strunuvium) and Garland Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthem1lm
coro1U2rium), will be thinned from Ibesite because they can eventua1ly grow &0 densely as to
discourage the growth of target species. In general, the site is successfully propessin& towards project
milestones.
If you have any additional questions please call me at (619) S60-S46S.

Dear Terri:
The California Multimtvl'll (CMI) site on FaiVR Street in Chula Vista has been planted as per
. the specificatiOD$ nored in the site's Wet\aJld Habitat Res1ontion Plan (Merkel &; A.uociores April 17,
1996). No areal coverage sua:ess criteria are required for the initial plantiDg; howev~. all planting
densities have been achieved and Ihe irriptiOD system is iDstalled and operatiolial (see Photo Frames
#1 and #2). The site has been mODitoredlhrougb luly 28, 1996 wi)h all plal1fcd material alive and .
growing. No sigjmiCant problems have been DOted. The site will continue to be regularly monitoI-ed
with the ant,st&tus report due at six months post-p1anting (appro..im~tely i>ec:ember 28, 1996). Given
the winter dormancy period, this monitorinJ interval may be accelerated or delayed 'DIItil spri!l& to

Mr. Douglas D. Reid

P. O. 1087
Chula Vista, CA 91912
Dear Mr. Reid:
In response to your nodce of April 9, 1996, regarding the proJect for condnuadon of the
trUck and trailer storage at 2400 Faivre Street In Chula Vista, I feel compelled to make certain
constrUctive comments. In preface, Welders Supply & Equipment , a locally.owned small
business In Chula Vista since 1946, moved to Faivre Street In October of 1985, before the
Oty of Chula Vista took control of the area from the County of San Diego. Since that dme,
the anddpated Improvements that Incorporadon would bring to our street have yet to be seen.
When F. G, Fenton was given pennlsslon for C.M.!. to operate on this small street In south
Chula Vista, the reverse occurred. Some of the problems generated are as follows:
~.
I. D:m:;erous speed!; usee! by large tractOr.tra!ler rigs on a narrow, unimproved street.
2. Large trUcks parked along street, hampering an already heavily encumbered roadway.
3. A poorly engineered Intersecdon (FaIvre and Beyer) burdened by oveRlSe and dangerous
circumstances.
4. An Increase In air polludon caused by trUcks driving on unpaved shoulders.
5. Truck repairs, Including 011 changes, done on a public street
6. Destruction of pavement designed for a lighter traffic burden.
7. Accidents or near accidents occurring on a dally basis because of the driving manner of
CMI trUcks; I,e. driving down the center of the street at excess speeds.
The enclosed photographs dearly show evidence of the aforemendoned. These are Jun a few .
of the problems we see related to the use of Faivre Street by large trUck and trailer rlas. Some

are merely annoying while others are extremely dangerous. We have condnuously voiced our
concerns to both the Chula Vista Pollee Deparanent and Street Maintenance Deparanent, as
your records will show.
We are not opposed to truck traffic on Faivre Street. On the contrary, WSE could not do
business If trucks were not allowed. However, this street Is not presendy equipped to handle
the high volume to which It Is being subjected. Badly needed street Improvements could help
this sltuadon, starting with widening the existing pavement, and adding a center line. Using
current city policy, we also feel that since the large truck and trailer users are creadng this
burden, they should bear the cost of necessary Improvements.
Approval by the Planning Deparanent for condnuance without such stlpuladons would be
Irresponsible.
Sincerely,

PROJECT NAME: Faivre' Street, west
PROJECT LOCATION: South of Faivre Street at Jacqua Street
PROJECT APPLICANT: H.G. Fenton Material Company
CASE NO: IS-90-9M
DATE: December 29, 1989
A. Project Setting
The prOject setting consists of approximately 3,0 acres of land located
south of Faivre at Jacqua Street and is located within the Otay River 100
year floodplain. The northern portion of the site is flat and clear. The
southern portion of the site slopes to the Otay River and is located
within the floodway, The western and southern half of the site are also
located within the California coastal zone.
Surrounding uses include industrial warehousing, car sales and single
family residences to the north, the Otay River to the south, a towing
impound yard and vehicle storage to the east, and truck and trailer
storage to the west,
B, Project Description
The proposed project involves a master conditional use permit allowing for
temporary use of existing flat and clear areas located on the northern
portion of the site. Such uses as proposed are vehicle parking and
storage, equipment yard, temporary offices, custodial and security
facilities, or other related activities on a temporary basis. Specific
uses, as they are proposed, are subject to review by the Zoning
Administrator.
.
No permanent improvements or structures or gradi ng, other than fi ni sh
grading is proposed for this project.
In order to minimize the possibility of any significant environmental
impacts, the following actions are required by the applicant prior to the
approval of a specific use by the Zoning Administrator:
Installation of solid fencing of the entire site ~nd installation of
a si 1t fence on the south si de of the proposed storage area and
northerly of the wetlands (see Section E.l and E,4 of this report and
the attached wetlands .delineatfon study).
Refinement of the project to avoid a wetland located on the
southeastern corner of the proposed storage area (see Section E.2 of
this report and the attached wetlands delineation study).

C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The site is located within the .White1ands. special comprehensive study
area and a specific plan designation for.. this area has not yet been
determined. With the approval of a conditional use permit allowing the
proposed use for a temporary period, the project will not affect long
range plans and policies, The site is under City-adopted County zoning
M-54, General. Impact Industrial, which allows the proposed uses.
D, Compliance with the Threshold/Standards Policy
1. Fire/EMS
The distance to the nearest fire station is 1.7 miles and the Fire
Department estimated reaction time is is 7 minutes, Provided no
combustible materials are stored on the site, the fire department
will be able to provide adequate fire protection for this project
without an increase in equipment or personnel.
2, Police
The Police Department is currently maintaining an acceptable level of
service based on the threshold standards,
3. Traffic
The Engineering Department has reviewed the application and has
requested that the applicant, as part of the project, meet the
following conditions: dedication of 16 ft. right-of-way along Faivre
Street and provide full street improvements. With or without these
conditions, the proposed project will not adversely affect the
existing levels of service on roads or intersections in the vicinity.
4, Park/Recreation
The Parks and Recreation department has determined that the proposed
project would not exceed adopted threshold standards,
5, Drainage
Drainage facilities are adequate to serve this project,
6, Sewer
Sewer lines adjacent to the site are adequate to serve the proposed
project,
7. Water
The Sweetwater Authority was notified and has not identified any
constraints to providing adequate water supply for the project.

E. Identification of Environmental Effects
1. Illegal Dumping
There is some concern that the proposed development of this site
might improve the access to the Otay River Valley which may encourage
additional dumping of garbage in this sensitive area. As part of
this project, fencing should be required between the proposed storage'
area and the sensitive area, to limit any illegal activity and
protect this environmentally sensitive area.
2. Wetlands
Due to concern of the possible existence of a wetland located on the
project site, a wetlands delineation study was conducted (PSBS
1863). From this report, it was determined that a wetland exists on
the site to the south of the proposed storage area and only intrudes
onto the proposed storage area on the southeastern comer. It is
recolTlllended that this southeastern corner be avoided, by refinement
of the project area to protect this high quality riverene wetland,
3, Biology
Of possible environmental significance was the sighting during the
wetlands delineation study of a California Gnatcatcher (Polioptila
California) in the alluvial fan scrub located on the site. Since
this bird would not be expected to utilize any portion of the
proposed storage area, this project would not have any adverse impact
on the species.
4. Drainage
Although the drainage facilities have been determined to be adequate
by the City Engineering Department, there is some concern with the
"free" water runoff from the proposed storage areas into the Otay
River Valley and it is recommended that a silt fence be installed
along the southern border of the storage area to hel p protect the
environmentally sensitive wetland to the south,
5. Floodplain/Floodway
The entire project site is located within the Otay River 100 year
floodplain. However, since the proposed storage area is located well
to the north of the floodway, which crosses the site on the
southeastern corner, this is not considered to be of significant
environmental concern,
6, Coastal Zone
The western portion of the proposed storage area is located within
the California Coastal Zone and a coastal development permit from the
California Coastal Commission is required for any development within
this zone.

2. Wetlands
A wetland has been identified on the proposed storage area on the
southeastern corner of the proposed storage area (PSBS 1863). The
applicant has agreed to reduce the size of the project to avoid this
environmentally sensitive wetland. therefore. no additional
mitigation is necessary.
3. Biology
During the wetlands delineation stucIY. a California Gnatcatcher wa.s
sighted on the site. Since this bird would not be expected to
utilize any portion of the proposed storage area. this project would
not have any adverse impact on the species and. therefore. no
mitigation is necessary,
4, Drainage
Because a silt fence is required to be installed prior to project
approval on the southern border of the proposed storage area. no
further mitigation is required to avoid significant environmental
effects,
5. Floodplain/Floodway
Since the proposed storage area is located well to the north of the
Otay River floodway. no mitigation is necessary,
6, Coastal Zone
Due to the location of the project within the California Coastal
Zone. a coastal development permit is required.
G, Findings of Insignificant Impact
Based on the following findings. it is determined that the project
described above will not have a significant environmental impact and no
environmental impact report needs to be prepared,
1, The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of
the environment. substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or
wildlife species. cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below

self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
conrnunity, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California histor,y or prehistor,y.
The proposed temporary storage yard will not degrade the quality of
the environment.
2. The project has the potential to achieve short-tenn environmental
goals to the disadvantage of long-tenn environmental goals.
The proposed temporar,y storage yard does not have the potential to
achieve short-tenn environmental goals to the disadvantage of
long-tenn environmental goals,
3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, .cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual
project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects
of past projects.. the effects of other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects. .
The proposed temporary storage yard will not result in any adverse
environmental effects that are cumulative in nature.
4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
The proposed temporary storage yard contains no environmental effects
which could cause adverse effects on human beings, either directly or
indirectly.

C. DISCUSSION
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use
North M-54 Residential, industrial warehousing, car sales
South M-52 Otay River
East M-54 Vehicle impound yard
West M-54 Truck and trailer storage
Existing Site Characteristics
The project site is a 3.0 acre vacant parcel of land located south of
Faivre Street at Jacqua Street and is located within the Otay River
100-year floodplain. The northern portion of the site is flat and clear
of brush. The southern portion of the site slopes to the Otay River and
is located within the floodway. The site is also loc.ted within the
California Coastal Zone,
Proposed Use
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for
temporary use of the 3,0 acre existing flat and clear areas of the site.
Uses proposed for the site include are truck parking and storage. The
-Y'3
City Planning Commission
Agenda Items for Meeting of July 11, 1990
Page 4
plan provides space to accOl1ll1Odate 147 20-foot truck trallers and 94
40-foot truck trailers. The proposed use also includes an office trailer
located on the northeast corner of the. site which includes sanitary
facilities for the truck drivers. Access to the site is on the northern
border along Faivre Street;
No pennanent improvements or structures are proposed, no grading is
proposed other than finish grading for the project.
Various items which w1l1 be transported by the company using the site
will be stored in the containers. The items may be transported overseas
or transported between Long Beach and San Diego County, or throughout the
United States, Examples of some of the materials that were listed on the
manifest of one company which is interested in leasing space included:
women's clothing, seashells, electronic component parts, household goods
(for people moving from overseas), safes, furniture, gloves, bicycles,
motorcycle parts and exercise clothing. One month is usually the longest
time that any materials are stored, Proposed hours of operation are from
6:00 a,m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and 8:00 a.m, to 6:00
p.m. on Sunday. The manifest of items stored w1l1 be avallable to the
Planning Department and members of the Montgomery Planning Committee on a
prearranged confidential basis. A provision of the lease with any leasee
w1l1 strictly and specifically prohibit any use or storage of toxic or
hazardous materials on this site.
No removal of brush or grading would take place, other than to remove
existing trash and debris to put a finish grade on the lot.
The proposed uses will be confined to the existing flat and clear areas
located on the northern half of the site well north of the river floodway
and no pennanent structures or improvements are proposed.
D, ANALYSIS
The project site is designated -Whitelands- on the Montgomery Specific
Plan and is slated for -special comprehensive study-. The plan also
suggests that this parcel of land be incorporated within the proposed
-Otay River Regional Park and Open Space Preserve.. The site is under
City adopted County zoning M-54 General Impact Industrial, which allows
the proposed uses.
Because the site is located within the Whitelands Study Area and is being
looked at by a number of jurisdictions for use as a Regional Park/Open
Space Preserve, the Planning Department has concluded that it will be a
number of years before a specific land use designation for this area is
detennined, .
During this -interim- period untll the comprehensive study is completed
and the specific land use designation is determined, the landowner should
be allowed viable economical use of their land on a temporary basis.

Approving this pennit for a limited period of time (two years, with a
maximum tenure of five years), the use would be consistent with the
intent of the plan and would protect the publics future interest in the
.Whi tel ands. .
In response to the environmental sensitivity of the area on the southern
portion of .the site, the applicant agreed to shrink the size of the
storage area to avoid the sensitive wetland that exists on the site. The
applicant is also proposing to install a silt fence on the southern
border of the property, and will also be installing a fence around the
area that is proposed for use to help discourage illegal dumping, that is
prevalent in this area.
E, FINDINGS
1. The proposed storage area would provide for the storage of various
items of material and equipment that are useful to the continued
operation of businesses wlthin the community.
2, The proposed storage area will present a neat, well ordered
appearance and will be separated from nearby residents by Faivre
Street and will not result in impacts which would adversely affect
humans or surrounding properties.
3, The proposed storage area will comply with the applicable
conditions, codes and regulations for the Montgomery area.
4. The site is located in the .Whitelands. special comprehensive study
area and a specific plan designation for this area has not yet been
detennined, With the approval of a conditional use permit allowing'
this use for a temporary period, and the Planning Department s
ability to phase out this use if open space is detennined to be the
best for the area, this project will be consistent with the
applicable plans and policies.

Under ANALYSIS:
The project site is designated .Whitelands and Research Unlimited Industrial.
on the Montgomery Specific Plan,.,
Under FINDINGS:
The proposed storage area will be adequately fenced to minimize any adverse
visual impact of the project,
Assistant Planner Reid stated that the three sites and proposals were each on
3 acres or less land; all were located entirely within the special study of
the .Whitelands. of Montgomery except for the Mace Street site where the
northern half was Research and Limited Industrial. All three sites were zoned
M-54 General Impact Industrial. Ms. Reid said that the Planning Department
wished to allow the applicant temporary use until a special study was
completed. All of the environmental sensitive areas had been excluded where
development was proposed,
Ms, Reid stated the applicant had met with the subcommittee of the Montgomery
Planning Committee to discuss the conditions, and specific conditions which
were made by the Montgomery Planning Committee were noted in the staff
report. She said the City required the applicant to undertake a traffic study
to answer all of the Montgomery Planning COlll1littee's concerns, Assistant
Planner Reid stated the recommendation of the Planning Department was that
this be granted for two years up to a five-year maximum. The Montgomery
Planning Committee also asked for monitoring by staff on a three-month basis.
Ms. Reid said the Planning Department was recolll1lending the project because it
was relatively close to commercial uses to the north, it was temporary for a
two-year period, it was one of the temporary uses that was felt would fit on
the site, and the proposed landscaping would buffer the view, Ms. Reid
continued to explain the conditions which had been recommended for the project,
This being the time and the place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Linda Bartholomew, representing H, G. Fenton Company, introduced other members
of the company and briefly noted the applicant had complied with all the
concerns of the Montgomery Planning COlll1littee, who had voted unanimously in
favor of the project.
Chainnan Tugenberg asked if there was going to be 24-hour security on the
locations. Ms. Bartholomew answered they had agreed to 24-hour security at
the location on Mace Street,
No one else wishing to speak, the public'hearing was closed.

that was why she was in favor of the project.

Subject:
Conditional Use Permit PCC-90-02Ej Request for an Extension of the CUP
Allowing Temporary Semi Traaor/rrailer Parking/Storage on the South Side
of Faivz Street at Jacqua Street
Dear Mr. Jones:
The Zoning Administrator has considered your request for an extension of a
conditional use permit previously approved for PCC-90-02 to allow the temporary parking and
storage of semi-tractors/trailers on the south side of Faivre Street at Jacqua Street. The
Environmental Review Coordinator conducted an Initial Study, I5-9~M, of potential
environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the project when the project was
originally submitted. This recommendation has not changed as the applicant is requesting a
time extension for conditional use permit and not any other entitlement.
After reviewing your proposed project, site plan and the existing conditions in the
immediate vicinity of the subject property, the Zoning Adminiotrator has found it necessary
to apply certain conditions in order to ensure that the facility does not create adverse impacts
on surrounding areas. Based upon these conditions, the Zoning Admini~rator has been able
to make the required findings to grant your request, which is hereby approved subject to the
following conditions:
1. This extension is valid untilJuly 11, 1995, at which time further extensions shall
be considered by the PIJlnning Commi.,ion.
2. Magnesium chloride shall be applied at owners expense to all driving areas at
least once per year no later than March 21st, weather permitting, including the
project frontage along the Faivre Street right-of-way. The initial application
shall occur within 30 days of the date of this approval. H needed, additional
applications shall be applied at owners expense during the .nmm!'r, fall and/or
winter seasons as determined by the Director of PIJlnning:
3. The applicant is required to improve Faivre Street to its full width along the
frontage of the property, subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.

to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This condition shall be implemented
within 60 days of the date of this approval.
5. The original conditions of approval as listed on the attached letter dated August
2, 1990 are still applicable unless superseded by conditions contained herein.
6. This permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified or deleted conditions
imposed after approval of this permit to advance a legitimate governmental
interest related to health, safety or welfare which the City shall impose after
advance wrinen notice to the Peiminee and after the City has given to the
Perminee the right to be heard with regard thereto. However, the City, in
exercising this reserved right/condition, may not impose a substantial expense
or deprive Perminee of a substantial revenue source which the Perminee can
not, in the normal operation of the use permined, be expected to economically
recover.
7. This conditional use permit extension shall become void and ineffective if
Condition No.'s 2, 3 lie of are not implemented within the time periods
specified. Failure to comply with any condition of approval shall cause this
permit to be reviewed by the City for additional conditions or revocation.
Findings of fact are as follows:
1. The existing use provides for the storage of various items of material and
equipment that are useful to the continued operation of business within the
community.
2, The use, as conditioned, would present a neat, well ordered appearance and will
be separated from nearby residents by Faivre Street and will not result in
impacts which would adversely affect btlm~n. or surrounding properties.
3. The use, as conditioned, complies with the applicable conditions, codes and
regulations for the Montgomery area and the previously approved conditional
use permit.
