San Bruno Planning Commission Meeting July 20, 2010
5a. 1079 Montgomery Ave.
A
B
You
and
good
evening,
as
stated,
the
applicant
has
applied
for
a
use
permit
application
to
operate
an
automotive
body
shop
within
the
m1
industrial
zoning
district.
The
site
is
located
on
the
west
side
of
montgomery
avenue
between
scott
street
and
interstate
380.
The
site
is
5,000
square
feet
was
currently
developed
with
a
2975
square
foot,
building
on
site
right
now,
there's
a
20
foot
front
setback
area
and
a
20
foot
6
inch
rear
setback
area.
The
site
is
currently
occupied
by
a
forklift
repair
company.
B
The
proposal
calls
for
new
automotive
body
shops
and
the
work
entailed
will
be
dent
repair,
the
sanding
and
buffing
and
painting
of
damaged
vehicles.
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
8am
to
5pm
monday
through
friday
and
10
a.m.
to
three
pm
on
saturdays.
The
applicant
has
indicated
that
two
to
three
vehicles
are
serviced
within
a
week.
Additionally,
wheel
alignment
and
windshield
replacement
will
not
be
done
on
site,
but
rather
will
be
sublet
to
local
specialty
shops.
The
up
can
also
proposes
to
demo
all
the
existing
non-load-bearing
walls
to
create
an
open
floor
area.
B
As
you
know,
automotive
related
uses
were
once
permitted
by
right
within
the
m1
industrial
zoning
district,
and
it
wasn't
until
two
thousand
nine,
when
the
City
Council
approved
an
ordinance
requiring
that
all
new
automotive
related
uses
go
through.
This
conditional
use
permit
process
and
it
really
allows
staff
a
lot
of
flexibility
to
look
at
projects
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
really
analyze
the
site
to
make
sure
that
the
site
is
appropriate
for
an
automotive
related
use.
B
In
this
particular
case,
the
applicant
will
be
incorporating
ten
new
parking
spaces
on
site
for
which
would
be
located
in
the
front
setback
area
and
six
of
which
would
be
located
in
the
rear
set
back
area.
There
have
been,
staff
has
added
a
number
of
conditions
of
approval
regarding
parking
on
site.
B
One
of
the
conditions
is
requiring
that
all
employees
utilize
a
rear
parking
or
all
the
parking
spaces
to
the
rear
of
the
building
and
there's
a
condition
requiring
that
all
repair
vehicles
either
be
stored
inside
of
the
warehouse
or
be
parked
in
the
rear
parking
spaces.
That
will
allow
the
four
spaces
in
the
front
of
the
building
to
be
utilized
by
customers
at
all
times,
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
at
no
point
will
any
repair
vehicles
be
allowed
to
be
parked
in
the
street.
B
Additionally,
the
applicant
will
be
incorporating
new
landscaping
within
the
front
setback
area.
There's
two
three
and
a
half
foot
landscaping
strips
on
the
north
and
south
side
of
the
property
line
the
applicant
will
replant
what
are
essentially
rip
out
what's
currently
there
and
replant
that
entire
area.
B
Additionally,
staff
has
added
a
number
of
conditions
of
approval
related
to
the
best
management
practices
associated
with
the
automotive
body
shop
industry.
These
have
to
do
with
the
Washington
vehicles
and
spray
gun
maintenance.
Overall
staff
does
find
that
the
proposed
use
will
be
an
upgrade
to
what's
currently
their
new
landscaping,
and
the
new
parking
will
greatly
improve
the
existing
conditions.
B
A
B
C
A
good
evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Xavier
solorzano
I'm,
the
architectural
to
sign
up
for
the
project,
and
I'm
here
representing
the
project
sponsor
as
matt
expressed,
is
small
business.
Basically,
it
is
set
of
body
repair,
but
it's
basically
a
two-person
operation,
the
owner
of
the
shop
and
one
employee
and
the
possibility
of
maybe
in
order
to
two
employees.
C
Currently,
the
project
sponsor
has
been
operating
a
similar
business
about
four
blocks
away,
but
seeing
the
opportunity
that
this
property
became
available,
we
would
like
to
not
only
be
able
to
own
the
shop,
but
also
the
property,
which
I
think
could
be
in
compliance
with
the
master
plan
of
allowing
for
local
ownership
of
businesses.
It's
mostly
small
businesses.
As
mad
also
mentioned,
we
will
be
treating
the
front
facade
with
not
only
landscaping
batting.
We
go
to
the
process
of
the
building
permit
sue
middle.
C
We
will
also
present
a
color
scheme
for
the
facade
of
the
building
which
will
match
and
match
similar
properties
in
the
area
and
enhance
the
existing
building.
Also,
I
think,
is
well
sir,
to
mention
that,
with
the
improvements
of
the
parking
in
the
front
as
well
as
the
development
of
the
bathroom,
the
structure
would
be
more
ad
a
compliant.
C

C
A
C

E
E
E

A

For
a
while
now,
there's
been
the
California
Building
Code
requires
that
a
licensed
architect
work
on
commercial
buildings
for
the
structural
review
phase.
What
we
found
is
that
during
the
planning
phase,
some
of
the
property
owners
or
applicants
weren't
aware
of
this
requirement,
so
we
made
sure
that
our
building
official
looks
at
these
plans
early
and
conditions
of
that
way.
So
the
applicants
aware
that
an
architect
will
have
to
be
hired
later
on.
C
I
made
yeah.
I
do
believe
that
actually,
the
the
actual
wording
on
the
new
code
is
that
any
licensed
profession
could
be
an
architect
or
a
civil
engineer,
a
structural
engineer
and
inside
the
discretion
of
the
building
of
fixture,
like
Charlie.
So
municipalities
going
to
don't
enforce
that
as
long
as
issues
tenant
improvements
and
it
doesn't
involve
any
structural
work.
But
it's
at
the
discretion
of
the
building
on
visual
basic
I'd.
A
A
H
H
G
The
way
the
conditional
use
permit
is
worded
is
based
on
the
description
that
he
has
working
on
a
certain
number
of
cars
per
week
if
he
wanted
to
increase
that
what
he
would
have
to
do
was
come
back
to
the
community
development
department
and
get
community
development
directors
to
scratch.
Approval
to
change
to
chant
to
you
know,
alter
this
business
plan
significantly.
So
if
he
added
a
car
to
you
know
that
would
be
fine.
If
you
completely
change
this
business
plan,
then
it
would
require
further
planning.
Commission.
You.
