A. PUBLIC STORAGE PROJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATIONS BACKGROUND AND PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW The proposed project includes an expansion of an existing Public Storage facility located on a 6.59-acre site at 3716 Stanley Boulevard. The project would demolish seven existing storage buildings and the existing office and construct a 900 square-foot one-story office building, 9,750 square-foot single-story building, and 197,410 square- foot three-story building (a total net of 165,756 square-feet added). Seven existing one- story storage buildings would remain on-site (totaling 41,600 square-feet). Other site improvements include landscaping, new fencing, and vehicular access to Nevada Street. No new outdoor storage is proposed, and the existing outdoor storage would be removed. This site may have up to a 100-percent floor area ratio (FAR) for the subject use if sufficient amenities and mitigations are incorporated (above and beyond those typically required by the City) and if the employee density and traffic generation are minimal. The proposed project increases the FAR up to 99.7 percent. The traffic generation is not expected to significantly impact the transportation system as analyzed in Attachment 4 and the proposed amenities include: • Provide $300,000 to the City, to be used to construct a public trail meeting the design requirements of the Trails Master Plan, along the south side of Nevada Street. • Provide $14,000 to the City for trail maintenance for five years. • Include enhanced green building measures, beyond those required by the Building Code, including: o Installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of the new buildings to meet the energy needs of the facility o Green building measures to meet a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) "Silver" rating. • Construct a public seating area (two decorative benches) on the south side of the property along the new public sidewalk for Nevada Street. The applications were initially reviewed by the Commission at a workshop on August 12, 2020. Exhibit E of Attachment 4 includes a draft excerpt of the Commission minutes from the workshop and an excerpt of the staff report (with workshop considerations) from the workshop is included as Attachment 6. Story poles, to represent the overall height and massing of the three-story building were placed on the site in advance of the workshop. After the workshop review, the applicant made some project modifications and a public hearing for the project was held on October 28, 2020. At the October 28 public hearing, staff presented the project, and noted modifications made since the workshop in August. Notable project modifications included: • On the three-story storage building, incorporated additional articulation of the third floor along the south elevation (Nevada Street) by increasing the upper- Page 3 of 14
