c. UP-95-66. Pleasanton Truck and EQuioment Reoair. Inc. Application for a conditional use permit to operate a truck storage yard on an approximately 1.5 acre portion of an approximately 47 acre site located at 3202 Busch Road. Zoning for the property is I-G (General Industrial) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report on the application for a conditional use permit and design review to operate a truck and container storage yard at 3202 Busch Road. This is a portion of a 47-acre site owned and operated by Kiewit Construction Group, Inc. The Pleasanton Truck and Equipment company is located adjacent to this parcel and would like to expand to a portion of the Kiewit property for the storage of garbage trucks and containers. The applicant proposes to store about 30 trucks on the site, half of which are garbage trucks which would driven on and off the site every day. Repair work will be done at the Waste Transfer site. No repair work will take place on the Kiewit site. There is no need for buildings on this portion of the site. The applicant has a three year lease on this site with no long-term plans for occupying the site; therefore, staff is not requiring the installation of permanent on-site improvements such as paving, striping, drainage facilities, landscaping and street improvements of Busch Road. Staff has conditioned the applicant to return to staff at the end of two years to detail his plans for continued use of this site. At that time, it will be determined whether the applicant will be required to make permanent improvements. Staff is requiring the applicant to provide an oil and gravel surface, provide landscaping in front of the chain link fence along Busch Road, and add vinyl or wood slats to the existing chain-link fence for screening purposes. Staff believes that the project and use are appropriate for the area, that there will be no impacts on adjacent properties, and recommends approval subject to the conditions of approval. Commissioner Wright commented that the oil and gravel surface should be rather minimal considering the Kiewit property is pretty well compacted. A discussion ensued regarding UP-91-10 and its associated parking plan which has never been approved. Mr. Iserson did not want to condition the application subject to the previous conditional use permit. Moreover, the approval of this application will free up space at the Waste Transfer site, thereby freeing up space for parking. Commissioner Hovingh noted that the conditions of approval do not specify that leakage from vehicles or containers is strictly prohibited. Mr. Iserson noted that Condition 3 indirectly addresses this, however, the Commission could add further restrictions if desired. Commissioner Hovingh would like to add a restriction on leaking vehicles to the conditions of approval. Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 December 13, 1995
