PC Res 4519 (incorrect address)RESOLUTION NO. 4519 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A MOTORCYCLE SALES AND SERVICE CENTER IN AN EXISTING BUILDING IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL (M-1) ZONING DISTRICT LOCATED AT 1021 DELL AVENUE (PLN2019-81). After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed. The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2019-81 (Conditional Use Permit) Environmental Finding 1. The project may be found Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, of pertaining to the operation and leasing of an existing private structure and Section 15303, pertaining to the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Evidentiary Findings 1. The project site is located on Dell Avenue, east of Winchester Boulevard and west of Sunnyoaks Avenue. 2. The General Plan land use designation for the property is Light Industrial. 3. The Zoning District for the property is M-1 (Light Industrial). 4. The subject property is bordered by light industrial uses to the south, east and west, and medical uses to the north. 5. The project includes operation of a motorcycle sales and service center. The business would include a motorcycle inventory warehouse, a showroom, a service repair area, office and non -service areas (e.g., bathrooms). The motorcycle business does not include paint, bodywork, welding, or fabrication. 6. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.10.080.C, motor vehicle sales (new and/or used) and motor vehicle repair and maintenance requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). A CUP may be approved, with or without conditions, only if the Planning Commission (or the City Council, upon appeal) makes certain findings. 7. The subject property is currently developed with a 2,852 square foot storage building which would remain and a 15,101 square foot primary building which would remain with a modified floor plan to accommodate the project. The proposed motorcycle sales and service center would share a portion of the 15,101 square foot building with an existing glass fabrication business. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4519 Conditional Use Permit (PLN2019-81) Page 2 of 6 8. Pursuant to CIVIC §21.28.040.D, when the use of a structure changes to a use that requires the same [or fewer] parking spaces as the immediately previous use, the number of required parking spaces for the new use shall be the same as the requirement for the previous use. 9. The existing glass fabrication business will reduce in size, creating a smaller parking demand, where the glass business would generate a parking demand of 14 stalls and the proposed motorcycle business will generate a parking demand of 29 stalls, for a total parking demand of 43 stalls, a reduction from the current demand of 48 stalls. 10. Pursuant to CIVIC §21.26.050, the Planning Commission has the authority to adjust the landscaping requirements for a specific use at a specific location so as to require either a greater or lesser amount of landscaping when it determines that there are unique or special circumstances that warrant an adjustment. 11. The subject property includes an approximately 10-foot wide landscape strip between the building and the street frontage and a landscaped area to the right of the building that will remain. All trees on site will be retained. The current improvements on the site minimize the potential for additional landscaping similar to other nearby industrial zoned sites. 12. Applicable General Plan Policies considered by the Planning Commission included: Policy LUT-5.1: Neighborhood Integrity: Recognize that the City is composed of residential, industrial and commercial neighborhoods, each with its own individual character; and allow change consistent with reinforcing positive neighborhood values, while protecting the integrity of the city's neighborhoods. Policy LUT-5.4: Industrial Neighborhoods: Safeguard industry's ability to operate effectively, by limiting the establishment of incompatible uses in industrial neighborhoods and encouraging compatible uses. Policy LUT-5.5: Industrial Diversity: Promote a variety of industrial use opportunities that maintain diversified services and a diversified economic base. Policy LUT-5.7: Industrial Areas: Industrial development should have functional and safe vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation, good site and architectural design, be sensitive to surrounding uses, connect to public transit, and be energy efficient. New projects should contribute to the positive character of industrial areas and the overall image of the City. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: Planning Commission Resolution No. 4519 Conditional Use Permit (PLN2019-81) Page 3 of 6 1.
