 Good morning everybody We will begin the zoning administrator meeting for this morning And I'm calling the meeting to order the first item of business is approval of the November 16 2023 draft minutes. I reviewed those minutes and find that they accurately reflect what occurred at that meeting So I hereby approve those minutes Next item is public comment This is the time when any person may address matters not listed on this agenda But which are within the subject matter of the jurisdiction the public may comment on agenda items when the item is called And each speaker is allowed three minutes. Is there anybody wishing to speak on an item that is not on the agenda today? Seeing none, we're moving on to the statement of purpose The zoning administrator is appointed by the director of planning and economic development department and has a responsibility and authority to conduct public meetings and hearings And to act on applications for minor or reduced review authority projects or entitlements A determination or decision by the zoning administrator may be appealed to the appeal body including the designer view board cultural heritage board planning commissioner city council as applicable to the decision Since there are no zoning administrator reports will move on to And there's no consent items will move on to item 6.1, which is a scheduled item and planner Hartman Thank you zoning administrator to me and my name is Suzanne Harman and I am presenting the conditional use permit application for a fence that is located within a side corner setback. Let me present There we go. All right, 4740 Badger Road. So it's the applicant is seeking approval of a six foot tall wood fence that is located within the 15 foot side corner setback. This is an aerial view of the Project site. And this is kind of a closer view. As you can see here, this is not where the current fence is. This is where the previously existing fence was just for clarification. The general plan land use exit nation is low density residential and the zoning district is our one six, which is single family. The R1 zoning district is applied to areas of the city intended to be maintained as residential neighborhoods comprised of detached and detached single family houses cluster residential hillside projects and small multifamily projects together with compatible accessory uses. It implements and consists with and is consistent with the very low density and low density residential classifications of the general plan. The surrounding areas. Are zoned as a low residential as well as plan development. As you can kind of see here in the north, northeast, the PD district or plan to plan development district is intended to recognize the and the advantage that integrated community offers over conventional zoning techniques and implementing general plan goals through specific site developments. The planned development district is specifically envisioned as a mechanism to preserve and or create distinctive high quality single or mixed use developments that meet or exceed the goals of the general plan. And the property is also adjacent to a school to the west of the development as well. These are existing elevation photos of the fence here. As you can see, but this would design the highest maximum of six feet. These are the proposed plans. As you can see here kind of at the top portion. They have proposed to take away some of that horizontal siding to kind of create more transparency and not have the fence kind of dominate that elevation or that facade, I should say, The review authority may approve or deny an application for conditional use permit or minor conditional use permit approval. The review authority shall record the decision and the findings on which the decision is based. The review authority may approve a conditional use permit, or I should say minor conditional use point for additional height in a setback, as long as the following findings can be met. And these are the findings continued staff was able to make all of the findings and you can do the detailed findings in the attached resolution. There are also additional fence height findings. And again staff was able to make all of the fence height findings that also can be viewed in the resolution. The project has been found in compliance with the California environmental quality acts and qualifies for a class three exemption under sequel guideline section one five 303 subsection E and that the proposed fence is an accessory structure. So there were, I would like to clarify on the slide that there was an open code enforcement case for this residence and it was determined that the case could be closed, as long as a minor conditional use permit was obtained for the fence. I also would like to clarify that on the notice. In the description, I had written that the fence was located in both the side corner and the front setback, but it is that is not corrected is just within the side corner setback. The front, the required front setback is 15 feet from the property line. And that portion of the fence that is long, I believe it's pronounced estes road is 15. So I just wanted to clarify that as well. I did receive a couple of public comments. Most of them were in favor of the fence they were pleased with the design and location. There was one comment that did not, or there was some concern about visibility from going in and out of that corner. And the applicant did provide, or the applicant did confirm that the fence is located without outside of the vision triangle. So it is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor conditional use permit to allow a six foot tall would fence located within the 15 foot side corner setback at 4740 Badger Road. And the applicant is here in person if you do have any questions. Thank you. Thank you planner Hartman. Opening up the public comment period. The applicant like to state anything else for the record or anything to add. Okay. And is the landscaping that was shown. Is that installed or that will be installed. And is there anyone else in the public that would like to speak about this proposed fence legalization. If you're attending in person you'd like to read make a comment go ahead and raise your hand. Seeing none I'll put close the public comment period planner Hartman. Are there other fences that are similar in this neighborhood. There are other fences in this neighborhood that that are in their position of closer on Badger. I do find that the fence is a very attractive design. And I like that with the removal of some of the planks, it will look less fortress like and more more transparent. It acts like lattice almost but more modern. And it is a very attractive design and it's outside of the clear vision triangle so it's not a hazard to people walking or driving. So, and there weren't any objections. The neighbors besides the concern with the vision triangle. Okay. And because of those and because Hunter Hartman was able to make all the necessary findings and I'm able to make the necessary findings. I'll approve the fence with the revised design with the quanks removed for transparency at the top. And can you can, is there a condition for a landscaping to soften that. I don't think there is one. Okay. Okay, okay. It looks, I think a little nicer. Yeah, and less graffiti maybe. Okay, so with that and with the added condition for some soft landscaping, I'll approve the fence as proposed. So thank you for attending. Thank you. And if there's anybody listening in the room or on zoom, there's a 10 day appeal period. Appeal has to be submitted by December 18. And if it's appealed to be heard before the planning commission. So after 10 days, your permit is valid. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Moving on to item 6.2. Food for thought food bank conditional use from it. 2351 circadian wave planner. Okay. Thank you. Administrator two millions. Like you said, this is a minor conditional use permit. Proposed at 2351 circadian wave for food for thought food bank. Food for thought is a nonprofit that. Gathers food materials and assembles meals for folks who are experiencing medical conditions. So from operation standpoint, this is a really good site for this type of land use because it's in an industrial area. So what we're going to do here in this district is business park, which generally is for more of the light industrial uses and that is very appropriate. District for this type of land use because there wouldn't be any heavy machinery. A traffic study was prepared and is included as attachment for that concludes there would not be a significant increase beyond the previous tenant, which I believe was a. I could be mistaken, but the traffic study, like I said, is attachment for. Okay, would you mind sharing your screen. Oh, yeah, sorry. And posterity, I guess. Thank you. Okay, so here you see the aerial view full screen. You can still see it. So adjacent to the West is. undeveloped plan development district zoning district, which is the former the former airport and runway site. But this industrial use in an industrial area requires a minor conditional use permit is because the code requires this type of approval for this land use when proposed adjacent to residentially zoned parcels. And for all intents and purposes. I think it's reasonable to conclude that it will be a great. So this, this site to the West is, like I said, a former airport and runway. So, I think I would be surprised to see any residential development in this area anytime soon. However, even if there was residential development, even very close to the property line. The project, like I said, is not intensive industrial use would comply with the noise ordinance. It would be machinery or work traffic. And then related to the California environmental quality act. This project is exempt from the act pursuant to guidelines sections 15183 in that the uses consistent with the general plan. And as, as conditioned would not be impactful to the environment or the surrounding land uses. There's some minor tenant improvements, but otherwise everything that is needed for the use is already at the building related to access and utilities and things of that nature. So, I think that's, that's all I've got and I'm happy to answer any questions and the applicant representative is attending as well for any questions. Thank you planner McKay. Opening up the public comment period or public comments. The applicant like to add anything to Connors. Conner hit them all. Planner McKay what are the proposed hours of operation. Let's see. I guess for the distribution is what I'm asking. So each Tuesday through. If you, if you've got it, I have it right here, but yeah, go ahead. So according to the product description is this each Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 4pm food for thought clients can come to pick up their pre ordered grocery bags. Totally approximately 12 clients per day. And then weekly deliveries. And then semi trucks just the food products themselves. And then give anything else to add to that. No, it's just the delivery drivers, but they're also limited in between hours they're only there for four hours a day. They come in, pick up groceries and then they deliver. So not super early and not super early. Nobody comes in prior to eight. Okay, got it. Cool. Nobody's there after five. Okay. So with that, I'll close the public comment. And I find that the use is compatible. I read the zoning code and distribution is permitted when it's ancillary to. A primary other primary use, which this is. And it seems like even if the residential. TV were to develop that it would be. It's still remain compatible because it's not. Open super late or super early. And you're occupying an existing tenant space. And because of that, I'll move to approve. Conditional use permit CUP 23-056 food for thought food bank at 2351 circadian way. And there this action is subject to appeal by December 18th. And would go before the planning commission if it was appealed with that and seeing there are no other items. I will adjourn the zoning administrator meeting. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks Connor. Yeah.
