I am encouraged that the staff could support this simple code amendment on the use of my existing finished basement space for limited public storage. Limited to basements of commercial buildings in the C -C District and limited in the storage of non - toxic, non- hazardous, clean paper record storage such as Data Vaults, boxes of Microfiche, computer data files in various forms, and other items not hazardous or toxic. BACKGROUND The existing basement storage at 780 Main Street, which has limited used by occupants and tenants only, is a major draw in attracting people and tenants seeking office or restaurant rental space in Downtown Pleasanton. Initially we were required to submit documentation insuring that the storage in the basement would be non - toxic, non - hazardous, clean paper record storage, that included an area that contained Data Vaults, boxes of Microfiche, computer data files in various forms, and other items not hazardous or toxic. We will continue follow these restrictions and insure that only safe items will be stored in the basement areas. The existing basement space has complete access with the elevator, which can conveniently be used to load and unload storage items. The elevator has a straight through access from the outside parking lot into the basement for easy access for the physically impaired. It has illuminated staircase exits signs on either end of the basement with existing panic hardware on the exit doors and emergency backup lights in the event of a power failure. The entire building, inside and outside, including the basement space is completely fire sprinklered. The 7" thick concrete and metal deck ceiling has additional one -hour fire blocking with 5/8" sheetrock all fire blocked with fire caulk.
