PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chair Alster read Agenda Item No. 1 into the record as follows:
1. PLN2012-105 Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Scott Kriens for
Kriens, S. a Conditional Use Permit (PLN2012-105) to allow indoor
automotive sales and warehousing of vehicles within a 1,970
square foot tenant space within an existing multi-tenant
industrial building located at 371 E. McGlincy Lane in an M-1
(Light Industrial) Zoning District. Staff is recommending that this
project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA.
Planning Commission action final unless appealed in writing to
the City Clerk within 10 calendar days. Project Planner: Steve
Prosser, Associate Planner
Mr. Steve Prosser, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
• Described the project site as being on the north side of E. McGlincy Lane between
Griffin and Campbell Technology Park. The building was constructed in 1967 and
consists of four tenant spaces. The proposed use would occupy Unit D, which was
a formerly occupied by an auto related business.
• Explained that a Conditional Use Permit is required for auto sales. The applicant is
proposing indoor auto sales by appointment only. The tenant space has existing
office space and open warehouse/display area and an existing storage loft area.
The autos on display are for sale.
• Reported that parking is reviewed in relation to the previous use. If the previous
use is similar to a proposed use, no further review is necessary. The prior use
required six parking spaces. This use requires six spaces. Since both uses have
the same parking requirement, parking can be found to be adequate.
• Added that compatibility with existing uses is also evaluated. In this case, the
hours of operation for this business are alternate to the standard business hours
the other uses on site operate. The proposed hours for this use are from 5 to 9
p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. The business will see
one to two visitors per day on an appointment-only basis.
• Stated that as there are no exterior changes proposed, this application was not
reviewed by SARC. This is an existing industrial building.
• Recommended the adoption of a resolution approving this Conditional Use Permit
and the finding of this application to be Categorically Exempt under CEQA.
