Re: Pre-Application for Addition to an Existing Commercial Building
File No.: PRE2003-33
2931 Winchester Boulevard
Dear Mr. Zanardi:
Thank you for your preliminary application for the addition to an existing commercial
building located at 2931 Winchester Boulevard. The site is located in the C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district and has a General Plan land use designation of General
Commercial.
The proposed addition would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the
Planning Commission. In reviewing a Conditional Use Permit application, planning staff
and the Planning Commission will evaluate such issues as traffic generation, noise, hours
of operation, adequacy of parking, disabled access, and overall compatibility of the use
with adjoining properties. The site and building would be required to meet all applicable
regulations of the Zoning and Building Code. Based on the plans you submitted, it
appears that is would be difficult to meet these requirements based on the issue outlined
below:
Parkin!.! and Lot Access
A retail commercial business is required to provide one parking space per 200 square feet
of gross floor area and a warehouse is required to provide one parking space per 400
square feet of gross floor area. Based upon these requirements, your building (3,550
square feet retail/4,738 square feet storage) would require 30 parking spaces and only 17
parking spaces are accessible. A parking study and analysis would be required for an
adjustment or variation from this requirement. The Planning Commission has the
authority to adjust these requirements based upon a study, survey and analysis.
Landscavin!.!
Projects within the C-2-S zoning district must provide a minimum of ten percent of the
net site area in landscaping. It appears that the minimum landscaping is not provided
within the site area.

Trash and Recvclin¡{ Enclosure
Section 6.04.080 of the Municipal Code requires all commercial businesses to provide a
trash and recycling enclosure consisting of a concrete floor surrounded by a six-foot high
solid wall and have solid metal doors. The enclosure shall be constructed at grade level
and have a level area adjacent to the trash enclosure area to service the containers.
The Community Development Department is not supportive of your proposal to expand
at this location due to the existing layout and configuration of the building on the site.
The property currently provides 25 parking spaces yielding a deficiency of 2 parking
spaces. The proposed addition intensifies the existing parking deficiency and creates a
single use building.
These comments are intended as preliminary only. Additional comments and
requirements may be forthcoming. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866-
2142 to discuss the application process and for further assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
