 or CEQA. It's a conditional use permit and it's for the property proposed or the property located at 3310 Industrial Drive. The city file number is CUP 23-015. The planner is Suzanne Hartman and I will hand it over to Suzanne for her presentation. Thank you zoning administrator Murray. My name is Suzanne and I am the project planner for the caliber collision project also known as file number CUP 23-015 located at 3310 Industrial Drive. The applicant is proposing an auto body and paint shop with an office space and an existing 12,000 square foot warehouse located at 331 Industrial Drive. This is the aerial view of the project site and as you can see it is surrounded by similar industrial uses and retail and business services. The general plan land use designation is light industry and the zoning district is light industrial. This is a glance at the proposed site plan and floor plan. As you can see only minor changes to the exterior happening here at the rear kind of a pop-up overhang and I think just some minor door and window changes here. These are the existing elevations of the warehouse and these are the proposed elevations and these are the findings that are made for the conditional use permit which are further explained in the resolution. These are the continued required findings also again stated in the resolution. And the proposed project has been found in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and qualifies for class 1 exemption under SQL Guidelines section 15301 and that the site is entirely developed and the proposed use would involve a negligible expansion of the previous industrial use. This project is an industrial use and is located within an industrial zone. Again only minor proposed changes to the exterior. There have been no public comments received as of today and it is recommended by the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Zoning Administrator approve a minor conditional use permit to allow an auto body and paint shop with office space at 3310 Industrial Drive. Any questions? My contact information is on the screen and we do have the applicant representative on Zoom if any questions arise. They do not have their own presentation. So can you pack up to the elevation slide? And first before I ask my questions if the applicant or applicant representative is online would you like to add anything to Suzanne's presentation before I ask my questions? So this is Randy. Hi Randy. Hi. I don't have any questions. I want to thank you and staff for the fact that you guys are approving the building. It's going to look good once we're all done and we look forward to working in your city. We look forward to having you. So I do have some questions about the actually the exterior here. It looks like some changes are being maybe some doors are being changed. Is this the same elevation, the same perspective, same that we're looking at on screen? Yeah so on sheet number seven or seven in the bottom the top the top elevation it's exactly the same except for adding some ducts, ducts in an AC unit. We're not painting the color of the building at all. It's that's the way it is today. Now on the bottom we will be painting the building that color fade and we're adding a canopy in the back of the building which is in between the two roller doors. Yes right there. Okay so and then so there's no change in siding. Correct. Okay perfect. So I'm gonna I'm gonna add that that was my question. I wasn't understanding the siding here and I was out there yesterday so I did do a site visit. I did review the findings. I would like to add a couple of conditions of approval so I'm real glad you're there Randy. The first one is I'm just going to add kind of a some level of design review will be required for the exterior changes for an awning on the back of the building. It should be an over-the-counter review but until we see the physical plan I can't say that for sure so I just use that language that it will require some level of design review. You can work with Susanne on that. She has the authority to to to do that and it's it doesn't it's not a separate application. The over-the-counter process is done as part of your building permit and your awning will definitely need a building permit. Then I I wanted to add a couple of other plans. I did review the plans last week so they're not super fresh in my mind but I did add a couple of conditions and one is that the plan submitted for building permits shall match those approved by the zoning administrator. Date stamped received on May 17th 2023 and if you do want to paint the building you can that we don't we don't regulate color it's just when you start getting into siding or or you know additions or you know changing moving windows around and I also want to say I you know I understand why we have the conditional use permit requirement for this given how painting vehicles used to be but with paint booths I appreciate you going through this I know that regulatory requirements would have met but met through the building permit process so thank you for for going through the process I'm going to go ahead and approve your the resolution and oh oh before I do that I need to do open up the public comment period thank you I need to open up the public comment period one of these days I'm going to tie a ring so string around my fingers so I remember is there anybody out there that would like to comment on this project nobody in the room nope if you would like to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand you may find the raise your hand button at the bottom of the screen zoning administrator Murray there are no hands raised few thank you again Suzanne and with that I'm going to approve the resolution thank you very much Randy and good luck we look forward to seeing them building permits that's terrific thank you now I have a question though the simple one you said the last day for the appeal date is June 26 would it be possible to submit my building plans prior to that you sure can you can work with Susanne on that if you submit your building plans and we receive an appeal you will stop the review of your plans uh just until the appeal situation is resolved I think considering we haven't heard any comp public comment and nobody participated in the meeting you're probably pretty safe but just keep that in mind that's great perfect thank you very much you bet okay thank you oh you won't leave that one I I think oh she's got her memories come on thank you will you go tip up my water yes thanks moving on to item 5.2 this is a public meeting for the GB2 LLC floor plan amendment it's an exempt project exempt from CEQA it's a conditional use permit and the project is located at 2715 Giffen Avenue city file number CUP 23-026 and the project planner is Monet Shikali matter Shikali thank you the Sony administrator I'm going to share my screen and start presenting and as you mentioned this is a minor conditional use permit for a project that was already actually approved in 2022 on August so let me go the applicant is proposing to modify the approved floor plan for a cannabis micro business type 12 license so the only change will be made is between the manufacturing area and the distribution the nursery space will remain the same as it was approved here is the project site the general industry and the zone is light industry and here is the suite where the project was approved for micro business and here is a suite and here is the floor plan that I'm going to show you what was approved and what are the changes so as you can see the applicant had 100 square feet for manufacturing space which they are going to expand it to almost 500 square feet so it's going to be within the same suite in the same almost location except it's going to be in a larger room which would also result in the reduction of the distribution space no exterior changes are being proposed everything will remain as it is and as some of you may know there are some general operating requirements for cannabis uses such as security plan order mitigation plan and lighting and those will stay same as the original project was approved and the applicant is not proposing any changes to those the project also has been reviewed and compliance with the california environmental quality act and qualifies for class 1 exemption which is in that the project is proposed within existing facility involving negligible expansion of the existing use staff did not receive any comments or questions about the proposed modification and with that it is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor control use permit for the property located at 2717 Geffen avenue the applicant representative amber morris is also available if you have any questions to answer and that was my presentation thank you thank you and and amber if you're on the zoom call can do you have anything you'd like to add or is any other member of the team sir thank you for having me um we're just excited this is an activity that we used to actually send out of house and with getting our approval last year it's something that's really benefited our business by having the ability to do it in house and we just need to get a bigger place to do it so um thank you and i'm here for any questions if you have one i i have actually a clarification question for you it's the the agenda has 2715 Geffen and it's 2717 i think they're both the same i think that's the difference between a suite number but 2717 that's correct address right amber the suite number is 2717 and the street address is actually the building itself i'm guessing is 2715 there are two addresses because there are two suites right i just want to make sure that yeah the suite number for this building is 2717 and it is another suite can we um verify on the resolution that we've got the 2717 no no it's okay 2717 perfect okay good okay um let's see i i i don't have any questions it's already been an approved use i i suspect i don't know if this was a minor project to begin with i'm thinking it probably was and so again i have i have no issue with this i i've done a site visit i did it this morning got tangled up in that street maze out there and i have i have nothing to add i'm going to approve the project comments ah gosh every single time public comments pub before you know that you know where i'm going with this i need to open up the public comment period um is there anybody in the room that has any comments nope is there anybody on the zoom call that would like to add anything if you wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand you may find the raise your hand button at the bottom of the screen no hands are raised thank you so glad to hear that again i will be approving the resolution as drafted thank you very much and chicago okay the third item on the agenda is uh is another public meeting it's for the crows at hillside development this project is also exempt from the california environmental quality act and the site is located at 3817 sky farm drive hillside development permit 23 dash 002 the project planner is jandon briscoe i'm just pulling up my uh you go ahead i'm not going to hand it over to you until you got it up there okay and with that i'm going to hand it over to the project planner to give his presentation yeah thank you zoning administrator murray and i'm jandon briscoe and i'm here to present to you the crozat residents landscaping plan located at 3817 sky sky farm drive the applicant is proposing a backyard landscaping project associated with building a residence that was um that was burned down a couple years ago and this includes two retaining walls and own gray on gray seating areas along with a deck that is continuous with the end of the pool the aerial grates on a slope grid at the tip of scent limited to 320 square feet and before i move on i would like i would like to elaborate that this that the pool was already permitted and the house was already permitted and the only thing that we're talking about here today is the landscaping plans and the pool accessory structures general plan language designation is very low residential in the zoning district designation there's a plan development that 72 dash 001 f that's rc resilient city and here's some pre-fire pictures of what the residents look like prior to the fire and this is what the residence looks like now today and it's the stages of building that is in and here you can see that you can see the pool being built and it overlooking the mountain and as i said earlier this is the yellow the yellow circles where most of the project that we're going to be discussing today the retaining wall is right here and on the next slide you'll see that this retaining wall intrudes on on a pretty steep slope and that's the only part of the project that intrudes on this slope so here's the the very steep slope and that's that's part of the reason why we're doing a hillside development permit today and this is just a colorful rendering of what the landscaping would look like and i would also like to point out that this is a revised plan because there was a water feature that was going to set back with the applicant decided to take it out and here are some of the required findings and i want to elaborate on my on finding number four and the resolution i was talking about that the house was not readily readily visible from the public right away and speaking about the house i meant to say the entire parcel because the purpose of the hillside development permit is to maintain the integrity of the hillside so that's what i meant by house and finding number four and these are the continued findings and as zoning administrator marie said earlier this project is exempt from sequel because it involves new construction of various exceptional structures how many no public comments have been received thus it is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator approved the hillside development permit for 3817 sky form drive and here's my contact information and i'm unsure if the landscape architect was available to make it to the zone today so it's okay it's the project applicant this is no it's a project applicant um on with zoom what is his name is it kary bush bottom leaf so if the you have the project applicant is on if you could we do have a hand raised yeah let's go ahead and okay go ahead you're able to speak if you unmute yourself kary there you go mark johnson hi mark are you the applicant um i'm speaking to the applicant merge studio landscape architect okay can you is there mark can you turn off the volume so that i can they have to speak oh that's right that's so much better thank you so you're you're i'm sorry your um can you start over your name is and your representing my name is mark johnson i'm here with carlos rays and we've both been working on this project for merge studio landscape architect got it i do you have anything you want to add to gendon's presentation i don't think i think it's pretty clear i have a i have a question for you guys and i maybe i'm i i did a drive by i went out there and i visited the site yesterday and first i agree that i mean you can you can't really see any of the changes and i thought gosh it looks so flat back there and i saw the retaining wall there's a huge retaining wall is that the retaining wall that's part of this project or was that approved with the swimming pool that was approved before so i think what we're looking at right now is the pan deck that cantilever's over and that has and that's what's under review today the part that's part of the the hillside okay yeah okay and so the area where the work is being done is it has even leveled out already from the from when the retaining wall was put in by the way that's going to be an amazing view and i have to compliment the stairs on the right side of the house they're absolutely beautiful but um yeah i'm just i'm curious it looked like the backyard which is where all this work is being proposed it looks like it's leveled out with that retaining wall it's been filled out since um i don't know exactly what the um the level of the of the gradient was there but i think it was um mark you know they they were they had the when they were putting the pool in they did level it out between the house and the pool so that retaining wall was there to um to to gain the the grade that they needed for building correct yeah okay so it yeah i maybe we put the cart before the horse here but that's in the end we'll have an approved retaining wall it sounds like so um i have done a site visit and i have reviewed the findings and um and i i will ask in that what was the finding number four that we clarify that the project rating respects natural features and visually blends with adjacent properties in that the retaining walls will step with the slope of the hillside and the house screens i'm going to say screens the area from the public right away if that works for everybody yeah and just yeah we're just modifying that yeah i'll i'll dropped it out so i'll hand you over my notes and then um i also want to add i i want to actually compliment um and thank everybody that was involved in this gendon specifically you for modifying the construction hours and reducing them so we avoid the morning breakfast hour and the evening dinner hour with construction activities considering you are you do have other residential development around you so much appreciated on that i'd also like to add a pretty standard condition and that all plans that submitted for the building permits shall match those approved by the zoning administrator date stamped received on january 19th 2023 which i'm assuming that should be fine with everybody since that's what we're talking about today i i've got a big sign public comment i am going to go ahead and i still forgot and so before i render any decision on this i'm going to go ahead and open up the public comment period and see if we have we don't have anybody in the room that is interested in commenting is there anybody on the zoom meeting if you wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand you may find the raise hand button at the bottom of the screen if you're dialing in via telephone please dial nine to raise your hand and star six to unmute once called upon zoning administrator murray there are no hands raised at this time thank goodness so with those um the changes to the the finding and the um added conditions uh mark are you are you okay with that sound reasonable but is that sound reasonable that sounds fine yes thank you great then with that revive that revision i'm going to go ahead and approve the project i hope the project can be appealed within uh 10 business days and we've established that appeal period will expire on june 26 that's the monday after next and um yeah you can pull permits during that time if we receive appeal an appeal your review will be frozen or your um or your job if we started construction will be red tagged or not red tagged but stopped until the appeal is resolved okay okay thank you very much for coming to the meeting thank you uh-huh and and moving on do we need to take any break or anything in between the next two items that's perfect because i i'm going to ask for a five minute break and i'll be right back i need to yeah i'll be right back right neighbors gave us a card to thank us for what we've done with that plan it's been five minutes but i think it's okay okay i think we're finally getting to the item that our guests have been here for so um the um last item item 5.4 on in the public meetings is um a project to legalize an addition um that was done to a home and it is exempt from the california environmental quality act this is a landmark alteration permit for the property located to 818 Monroe street city file number lma 23-001 project planner is again jandam briscoe and i will let him take it away on his presentation thank you for the handoff miss mrs donning administrative and i will start my presentation and yeah this is legalizing an additional 818 Monroe street and this is within the mcdonald historic preservation district the applicant's proposing to legalize the addition that is 308 square foot at the rear of the house and it's not easily visible from from the street or from the backyard when those on the door on the addition will be replaced to match the windows and door on the main dwelling the general plan designation is low density residential and the zoning designation is a plan development it's a historic plan development that's 0226 and here's an every view of the project and this is kind of hard to see what her addition is but we'll get to that later on and again this is within the mcdonald historic preservation district and these are some of the required findings there were eight there needed to be there needed to be for this project and findings continue and this qualifies for a class one categorical exemption under seco guidelines section 15301 and that the scope of work consists of a next negligible expansion of the existing use and here is a floor plan and as you can see the addition is right here and without the addition is to the left and these are the elevations this is the area of the addition right here and right here you can see right here and this is the street view of the house while you have this up can I ask a clarifying question is the end piece that on the top picture the left is that part of the addition the slanting roof no I see the slanting roof with the building on the left you know that's not part of that that was originally there okay it's kind of built like a shotgun house and this is a picture of the addition two pictures actually and when this presentation was written was prepared there were no public comments however I did receive a public comment yesterday from a neighbor of the residence that voiced support for this project yeah that's it is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator approved the landmark automation permit for 8181 road street and here's my contact information we have the owners of the property here in person today however the architect was unable to make it today thank you and would you like to add anything to champions presentation any comments just that that room has been there since the wind 1970s 70 something you know yeah I can I can elaborate that I'm sorry to interject but looking at some of our city aerials I can I can decipher that the addition was probably built between like the mid 1970s and 1986 and if I could I can show the air view of that you know yeah yeah absolutely can I would appreciate it yeah we bought it as is and I appreciate I appreciate you wanting to legalize it very much it's not showing up on the screen don't share okay go that and put an X over yeah so it's kind of I got a screen zoom in a little bit more yeah we took that pool out we had a permit for that about four years ago and took that dark thing out pool and as you can see in 1977 the addition isn't there but the next closest air view is in 1987 so in between like within that 10 year period that's when the addition was there okay so that's yeah okay and this was prior to the McDonald's preservation district becoming a thing because the McDonald's preservation district became a preservation district in 1998 he read my mind in what year was that so yeah and so I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this back in so no more no more going back and forth unless we ask questions okay I've opened up Pandora's box by opening up the dialogue so I did Jan didn't just clarify something that I was very interested in and knowing that what when the the preservation was a district was established and when that was constructed before I go on I'd like to see if there's any public comment we have the the property owners you guys um your comments can come after but not if there's anybody else that's joining us by a zoom if you would like to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand you may find the raise your hand button at the bottom of the screen if you're dialing in via telephone please dial star nine to raise your hand and star six to unmute once called upon zoning administrator Murray there are no hands raised at this time fantastic so I'm going to ask if Jenny can you bring up the elevation the actual photographs of the yeah so on on that elevation I was a little unclear on the windows it's the two windows on either side of the front door that you're wanting the lower ones you want to do with single home windows and then the top ones you're going to leave them the same is that right yes and then the the window trim what were you planning to do for the window trim is it to match the windows up in the right hand corner yes yes perfect that I didn't understand that and I just wanted to clarify that because if not I was going to add that as a condition of approval but if that's the plan we don't need to do that um and then the the the area you know that on the on the left side of the picture on the on the top left um that where we see that other route that section of the house is not part of this right no this project it's just this area correct got it okay and is that are those two connected yes they are so is it all just one long residence and the addition connected the two structures maybe I'm just trying yes yeah kind of okay they were connected but it filled in right okay yeah they have one side then the other and then somebody got this bright idea to just put a family room right between the two of them got it and connected so you can actually walk from the front of the house all the way to the back of the house oh yes got it okay um I just needed some clarification on that I went and did a site visit and um I was late I usually do them a little bit earlier and I was actually knocking on your door about 10 to 10 this morning but you were already gone I heard some like hammering jack hammering it sounded like in the back or said in the neighborhood behind you yes and so I thought they probably can't even hear me so but it was anyways anyway so um thank you for the clarification I um I want to make a um an amendment to uh finding number three um I want to clarify that this it references that I think the cherry street preservation district and we'll want to update that to reference the mcdonald preservation district and again I want to say thank you thank you thank you for conditioning the project with more restrictive um construction hours so that's something you'll want to make sure that your your contractor is aware of and um um when you're in a residential zoning district it's just so much nicer to have construction stop before dinner time and now and start after breakfast what time is that the the hours the construction hours are limited from eight a.m to five p.m monday through friday because that sound that you heard was they started at seven this morning oh you're building a pool and tearing out a patio oh um so we can look back this is a pretty new practice that we're doing it used to be seven a.m to seven p.m and um we've kind of changed our our hours when it's surrounded by residential development but if that project were approved you know previously and I'm assuming it was approved if you want to check on it you can you can do that anonymously by calling code enforcement and asking them about permit history or go online you can actually call we're hoping it was just one day of jack camera yeah yeah there you go the damage is done there you go so but your your hours are eight to five so you don't get to retaliate and on saturdays nine to four so and that's for really noise generating activity so if it's if it's somebody digging a hole with a shovel and putting a plant in the ground that's not what it's that's not what we're referring to fishing to rain stuff yeah jack hammers and hammers but painting is quiet so um and i i think did i add i think i i didn't add and i want to add that a condition of approval that will say that the plan submitted for building permits will match those that have been approved by the zoning administrator which i believe are dates to oh no no no that's right there it's the very first condition bravo it's on there i'm not adding any conditions i'm complimenting them well done and um your project oh i opened up the public commentary gosh i did it right for once i am going to go ahead and approve this project as conditioned um i appreciate very much knowing that the when how old this um changes that you are legalizing it and that it was done prior to the establishment of the preservation district that is key in this approval so um that said i think that um any uh actions taken today all four of them are subject to attend a calendar day appeal period which would which will expire on monday june 26 i would like to thank this applicant for giving me that date since i came without a calendar and um i appreciate anybody that attended remotely uh thank you all and i'm going to adjourn the meeting at 11 21 you know
