11. UP-liS-OZ. Castlewood Pronerties Application for a master conditional use penuit to allow wholesale sales, warehousing, contractor businesses, and automotive and boat repair in conformance with specified criteria in the three existing multi-tenant commercial/industrial buildings located at 3701, 371S, and 3723 Old Santa Rita Road. Zoning for the property is the C-S (Service Commercial) District. Mr. Swift presented the staff report for the blanket conditional use permit for the buildings located at 3701, 3715 and 3723 Old Santa Rita Road that would allow certain types of uses that are allowable in the commercial use district to be approved by staff" over the counter" as long as they comply with the conditions of approval that are established by this conditional use permit process. The uses are listed in the staff report (auto repair, furniture and household repair shops, warehouse and wholesaling, and building contractors). With the proposed conditions, staff feels the City is protected without having to have case- by-case review. This has been done successfully in Valley Business Park, Stanley Business Park, as well as in this area. Chairman Wright questioned Condition Ie because contractors usually have an equipment yard. Staff indicated that there is no area available for a contractor to have a fenced yard. Therefore, all storage must occur within the building. Commissioner Hovingh referred to Condition l.a.(2) and inquired if the Commission could require the parking lot to have an oil/gas separator added. Mr. Swift advised that the parking lot does not currently have an oil/gas separator, nor does he feel the applicant would want to go to that expense. Staff was not under the impression that the autos would be "wrecked" autos that would be leaking fluids. Commissioner McGuirk inquired about the amount and availability of tenant and customer parking. Mr. Swift advised that parking is differentiated between customer and tenant parking. There is a large amount of customer parking on Old Santa Rita Road, and by keeping employee parking in the rear of the buildings, there will be more than adequate customer parking. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Rosalyn Simon, 764 Montevino Drive, representing the applicant and Castlewood Properties, concurs with the staff report and conditions of approval. Commissioner Hovingh inquired of Ms. Simon if she would object to an addition to the conditions stating that no wrecked vehicles leaking fluids may be parked in the parking lot. Ms. Simon had no objection. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 March 8, 1995
