to require all storage space users to agree in writing that no items on the list or other hazardous materials will be stored. The storage space shall be used for storage only and no other activities and /or uses are allowed. 3. Prior to allowing basement storage, the building owner shall contact the Building and Safety Division and Fire Department to ensure that the basement meets applicable building and fire codes. If required, the building owner and /or responsible party shall secure all applicable permits and /or make any required changes to the basement space to ensure the space meets current code standards for fire, safety, and accessibility. 4. The hours of access for basement storage use shall be: Monday thru Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. only. 5. One parking space per on -site storage employee on the maximum shift and a minimum of one parking space for storage customers. This parking requirement is in addition to the parking required for other uses on site (i.e., the building above.) 6. Prior to allowing and /or renting space for basement storage, the property owner and /or responsible party shall submit a zoning certificate and secure a business license. The zoning certificate shall be accompanied by a narrative that describes the type of storage proposed, where parking will be allowed, what the use(s) of the building is and include a site plan and basement storage floor plan that clearly defines, but is not limited to, the following: a) the defined area(s) and square- footage in which storage will take place, b) how the individual storage areas will be delineated (e.g., cages), and c) access and ADA accessibility. These performance standards would allow staff to ensure that 1) there is adequate parking, 2) the space meets all applicable Building, Fire, and Zoning Codes, and 3) allowing basement storage for public use would not be disruptive to adjacent uses. Downtown Economic Vitality Committee (DEVC) The DEVC reviewed Mr. Churka's request at its July 22, 2010 meeting. The DEVC is in support of allowing building owners who have commercial building basement storage the ability to utilize "unused" space so long as the basement storage conforms to City standards and /or requirements. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application has been published in The Valley Times and was noted in the Pleasanton Weekly as an upcoming agenda item for the December 8, 2010 Planning Commission meeting. Courtesy notification cards were also sent to the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce and the Pleasanton Downtown Association. At the time this report was prepared, staff had not received comments pertaining to these amendments. PRZ -56, Basement Commercial Storage Planning Commission Page 3 of 4
