REQUEST:Title
Request to Amend the Parking-In-Common for Tract 2194, Block 7, El Camino Drive and Alley 21, by Removing Lots 5-7 to Allow for Outdoor Storage of Vehicles as a Primary Use in the C-2 (General Commercial) District
Body
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Application No.: 18-01700002
Property Legal: Tract 2194 Block 7, Lots 5-7
Lot Size: 150 x 225
Applicant: JR Motors
Owner: JR Motors
Staff Project Manager: Stuart Schmeling
Current Zoning: C-2 (General Commercial) District
Existing / Proposed Use: Vacant/Outdoor Vehicle Storage
PROPERTY AND APPLICATION BACKGROUND:
The subject properties are located at the corner of El Camino Drive and Alley 21. Block 7 does not have an approved Parking-In-Common Masterplan, but Parking-In-Common is designated on the tract map for this block. The tract map indicates a 90-foot building area in the front of the lots, leaving 135 feet of parking area in the rear.
The applicant requests elimination from Parking-In-Common restrictions to allow the perimeter of the property to be walled/fenced in for a vehicle storage yard. The proposed site plan is provided as an attachment.
FINDINGS
A Parking-in-Common amendment requires approval from the owners of a minimum of 75% of the properties within the block. There are five remaining lots in this block. The applicant submitted an approval from the owner of Lot 4. Including their own lots, 80% of the properties approve of the request. Staff finds the overall impact of the proposed outdoor storage area to the Parking-In-Common to be negligible.
