PLN2002-02.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2002-02:
The continued use of the property as a commercial construction supply storage yard
and parking lot is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Medium to
High Density Residential/Commercial.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the P-D (Planned Development) Zoning
District upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit Extension.
3. The continued use of the property as a commercial construction supply storage yard
and parking lot is consistent with the SOCA Area Plan.
No immediate development activity is proposed for this section of Railway Avenue.
Should development activity be undertaken in the area which includes this parcel, the
applicant has agreed to sign an agreement to abandon the use upon six months notice
from the Redevelopment Agency.
5. The project provides five standard parking spaces and one handicapped parking
space.
6. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit Extension will not impede the potential for
future redevelopment of the area.
7. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1
(Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
City Council Resolutic..

1. The proposed use is compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the
harmonious development of the immediate area,
2. The proposed use is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could
be made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
Conditions of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions
of Approval and the impacts of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves an Extension
(PLN2002-02) to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (UP 84-19) to allow the
continued use of the property as a commercial construction supply storage yard and

CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Adopt a Resolution, incorporating the attached findings, approving an Extension (PLN2002-02)
to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (UP 84-19) to allow the continued use of the
property as a commercial construction supply storage yard and parking lot, subject to the
attached Conditions of Approval, and finding that this project is Categorically Exempt under
Section 15301, Class 1, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the
continued use of an existing facility.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting a 10-year extension to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit
allowing the continued use of the property for supply storage and parking at 238-246 Railway
Avenue. The project site is located on the eastern side of Railway Avenue, eight parcels south of
Sam Cava Lane.
The original Conditional Use Permit approval included the establishment of a supply storage
yard on the rear portion of the property and six parking spaces on the front portion of the
property. New landscape planters were required along the western property line and a small
portion of the southern property line. The Planning Commission and City Council have
extended the Conditional Use Permit four times since the original approval in 1985.
The property is located within the Redevelopment Project Area and the applicant has been
willing both in the past and currently to abandon the use on the property upon six month's notice
from the Redevelopment Agency should redevelopment activity be undertaken in the area that
includes this parcel. A Condition of Approval has been added to the past Conditional Use Permit
Extensions which requires the applicant to submit a written agreement to the City which legally
binds the applicant to this agreement.
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 28, 2002, forwarded a recommendation to the
City Council by a 5-0 vote (one commissioner was absent) to approve the pmpose, dln'oj~t.

ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Medium
to High Density Residential/Commercial. The use of the property as a commercial construction
supply storage yard and parking lot is consistent with this designation. Therefore, the proposed
City Council Report
PLN2002-02 - 238-246 Railway Avenue
Extension of a Conditional Use Permit
Page 2 of 3
project is consistent with the General Plan.
South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Area: The subject property is located within Sub-Area 3 of
the SOCA area and is subject to the SOCA Area Plan. The SOCA Area Plan allows commercial,
residential, and mixed use developments within this area. Therefore, the use of the property as a
commercial construction supply storage yard and parking lot is consistent with the SOCA Area
Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is P-D (Planned Development).
The proposed project is consistent with this zoning designation upon approval of a Conditional
Use Permit Extension.
Site Layout: The project site is 8,075 square feet and is used by the applicant as parking and
supply storage for the adjacent commercial business (Railway Distributing Inc.) The rear portion
of the site, approximately 3,850 square feet, is used as supply storage and the remaining front
portion of the site is dedicated to parking and loading.
Use: The applicant is requesting a ten-year Extension to the Conditional Use Permit instead of
the previously approved five-year period. The applicant has proposed to make site
improvements which include sight obscuring fencing on the rolling gate along the western
property line, re-striping of the existing parking lot, and a new landscape planter along Railway
Avenue on the adjacent property to the south (parcel number 412-08-061) that is also owned by
the applicant.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a seven-year Extension to the Conditional
Use Permit with the provision that the applicant provide the proposed site improvements as
shown on the proposed site plan and adhere to the Conditions of Approval, including a written
agreement to abandon the use on the site upon six-months notice from the Redevelopment
Agency if new development occurs in the area that would include this parcel.
Landscaping: Two landscape planters are located along the western side of the property, on
either side of the rolling gate, and one landscape planter is located along the southern property
line. These landscape planters were required as part of the original Conditional Use Permit
approval.
The applicant is proposing to remove the small landscape planter along the southern property
line and replace this landscaping with a new landscape planter along Railway Avenue on the
adjacent property to the south (parcel number 412-08-061) that is also owned by the applicant.
The applicant has indicated to staff that the proposed location for the new landscape planter
would be more visible along Railway Avenue and would be less disturbed by on-site activities.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the proposed project subject to additional and/or modified Conditions of Approval.
2..Deny the proposed project.
3. Continue for further review.

Salvador, J.
Continued Public Hearing (from May 14, 2002) to consider the
application of Mr. Joe Salvador, on behalf of Railway Distributing,
Inc., for an Extension (PLN2002-02) to a previously-approved
Conditional Use Permit (UP 84-19) to allow the continued use of the
property as a commercial construction supply storage yard and
parking lot on property owned by Mr. Joe Salvador at 238-246
Railway Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District.
This project is Categorically Exempt. Tentative City Council
Meeting Date: June 18, 2002. Project Planner: Stephanie Willsey,
Planner I
Ms. Stephanie Willsey, Planner I, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the application is seeking approval of an Extension to a previously approved
Conditional Use Permit for 238-246 Railway Avenue to allow the continued use of
property for a commercial construction supply storage yard.
· Said that Council granted the original approval in 1985 and the Conditional Use Permit was
extended four times, the last time being in 1997 when a five-year extension was approved.
At this time, the applicant is asking for a 10-year extension but staff is recommending a
seven-year extension.
· Informed that the Redevelopment Agency has no objections and that a Condition of
Approval has been included that requires a written agreement with the applicant that states
he is willing to abandon this use within six months of notification by the Redevelopment
Agency to do so.
· Recommended approval.
Commissioner Alderete questioned the criteria for the time limitation.
Planner Stephanie Willsey replied that the criteria are typically the prospect for redevelopment
of the area.
Commissioner Doorley presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as
follows:
· SARC reviewed this proposal on April 23, 2002, and was supportive of a seven-year
extension of this Use Permit.
Chair Francois opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1.

Planning Commission Minute... of May 28, 2002
Page 3
Commissioner Alderete:
· Pointed out his concerns about the need to back directly onto the street from some of the
parking spaces.
· Said that there are properties across the street apparently are also being used for storage for
this business.
· Stated that upon a recent trip to the area, he noticed a fork lift crossing the street that is not
intended for use on streets as well as broken wallboard everywhere.
· Suggested a requirement to keep that cleaned up.
Senior Planner Geoff I. Bradley advised that the applicant also owns and uses property across
the street from the project site. He added that staff has not sought to achieve compliance with
other properties as part of this request as they are separate. The uses across the street are

DISCUSSION
Applicant's proposal: The applicant is requesting a 10-year extension to a previously approved
Conditional Use Permit allowing the continued use of the property for supply storage and
parking at 238-246 Railway Avenue.

The applicant converted the vacant subject property into a parking area
and supply storage yard without obtaining City approval. Staff notified
him of the violation and a Conditional Use Permit application was
submitted.
Staff Report - Planning Cormnission Meeting of May 28, 2002
PLN2002-02 - 238-246 Railway Avenue
Page 2 of 4
1985
Planning Commission and City Council approved the Conditional Use
Permit for a period of three years.
1986
Planning Commission and City Council approved a reinstatement of the
Conditional Use Permit for a period of two years since the applicant failed
to satisfy the Conditions of Approval within the required 90-day period
and the approval became void.
1988
Planning Commission and City Council approved an Extension of the
Conditional Use Permit for a period of three years.
1991
Planning Commission and City Council approved an Extension of the
Conditional Use Permit for a period of three years.
1994
Planning Commission and City Council approved an Extension of the
Conditional Use Permit for a period of three years.
1997
Planning Commission and City Council approved an Extension of the
Conditional Use Permit for a period of five years.
Background: The original Conditional Use Permit approval included the establishment of a
supply storage yard on the rear portion of the property and six parking spaces on the front
portion of the property. New landscape planters were required along the western property line
and a small portion of the southern property line.
The property is located within the Redevelopment Project Area and the applicant has been
willing both in the past and currently to abandon the use on the property upon six months notice
from the Redevelopment Agency should redevelopment activity be undertaken in the area and
include this parcel. A Condition of Approval has been added to the past Conditional Use Permit
Extensions which requires the applicant to submit a written agreement to the City which legally
binds the applicant to this agreement.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Medium
to High Density Residential/Commercial. The use of the property as a commercial construction
supply storage yard and parking lot is consistent with this designation. Therefore, the proposed
project is consistent with the General Plan.
South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Area: The subject property is located within Sub-Area 3 of
the SOCA area and is subject to the SOCA Area Plan. The SOCA Area Plan allows commercial,
residential, and mixed use developments within this area. Therefore, the use of the property as a
commercial construction supply storage yard and parking lot is consistent with the SOCA Area
Plan.
Staff Report - Planning Co. anission Meeting of May 28, 2002
PLN2002-02 - 238-246 Railway Avenue
Page 3 of 4
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is P-D (Planned Development).
The proposed project is consistent with this zoning designation upon approval of a Conditional
Use Permit Extension.
Site Layout: The project site is 8,075 square feet and is used by the applicant as parking and
supply storage for the adjacent commercial business (Railway Distributing Inc.) The rear portion
of the site, approximately 3,850 square feet, is used as supply storage and the remaining front
portion of the site is dedicated to parking and loading.
Use: The applicant is requesting a ten-year Extension to the Conditional Use Permit instead of
the previously approved five-year period. The applicant has proposed to make site
improvements which include sight obscuring fencing on the rolling gate along the western
property line, re-striping of the existing parking lot, and a new landscape planter along Railway
Avenue on the adjacent property to the south (parcel number 412-08-061) that is also owned by
the applicant.
Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve a seven-year Extension to the
Conditional Use Permit with the provision that the applicant provide the proposed site
improvements as shown on the proposed site plan and adhere to the Conditions of Approval,
including a written agreement to abandon the use on the site upon six-months notice from the
Redevelopment Agency if new development occurs in the area and includes this parcel.
Landscaping: Two landscape planters are located along the western side of the property on either
side of the rolling gate and one landscape planter along the southern property line. These
landscape planters were required as part of the original Conditional Use Permit approval.
The applicant is proposing to remove the small landscape planter along the southern property
line and replace this landscaping with a new landscape planter along Railway Avenue on the
adjacent property to the south (parcel number 412-08-061) that is also owned by the applicant.
The applicant has indicated to staff that the proposed location for the new landscape planter
would be more visible along Railway Avenue and would be less disturbed by on-site activities.
Redevelopment Agency Review: The site is located within the Redevelopment Project Area.
The Redevelopment Agency has reviewed the application and has no objections to the request.
A Condition of Approval has been included that requires the applicant to submit a written
agreement to abandon the use on the site upon six-months notice from the Redevelopment
Agency if new development occurs in the area and includes this parcel.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed this application at its meeting of April 23, 2002. The Committee was supportive of the
project as presented.

Recommended Findings for approval of an Extension (PLN2002-02) to a previously approved
Conditional Use Permit (UP 84-19) to allow the continued use of the property as a commercial
construction supply storage yard and parking lot at 238-246 Railway Avenue.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN 2002-02:
The continued use of the property as a commercial construction supply storage yard and
parking lot is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Medium to High
Density Residential/Commercial.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District upon
approval of a Conditional Use Permit Extension.
3. The continued use of the property as a commercial construction supply storage yard and
parking lot is consistent with the SOCA Area Plan.
No immediate development activity is proposed for this section of Railway Avenue. Should
development activity be undertaken in the area which includes this parcel, the applicant has
agreed to sign an agreement to abandon the use upon six months notice from the
Redevelopment Agency.
5. The project provides five standard parking spaces and one handicapped parking space.
6. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit Extension will not impede the potential for future
redevelopment of the area.
7. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed use is compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the
harmonious development of the immediate area.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the neighborhood
or the City as a whole.

No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
Conditions of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.

Use Permit Extension
Dear Mr. Salvador:
Thank you for meeting with Geoff Bradley and I on February 5, 2002 to discuss the Use
Permit extension for the existing parking and storage area at 238-246 Railway Avenue.
As we discussed, some improvements will need to be made to the subject property and
adjacent properties.
Due to several outstanding issues, your application has been deemed incomplete. Before
this project can be placed on the Planning Commission agenda, a complete set of plans
needs to be submitted which reflect the issues outlined below.
Fences
As we discussed, provide sight-obscuring fencing along the front property lines of parcel
numbers 412-08-006, -054, -061, and -062, including the sliding gates. Please show al'l
the property lines for these properties on the site plan and details on the proposed fencing
material.
Parking
The existing six parking spaces need to be retained to support the business next door.
Please indicate these six regular parking spaces on the revised plans. The handicapped
parking space should be moved to the adjacent lot (264 Railway.) These spaces will need
to be re-striped as part of the project.
Please show the adjacent lot's parking spaces, including the moved handicapped parking
space. When less than five spaces are provided, the handicapped parking space shall be
14 feet wide and lined to provide a nine foot loading area. However, there is no
requirement that the space be reserved exclusively or identified for use by persons with
disabilities only.

seeing your revised plans. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866-2143 if you
