Analysis Background Pursuant to UP-0289, a lumberyard was established on APN: 179-171-25 prior to 1956, and, pursuant to BP-173792, the existing pallet facility was established onsite prior to 1992. The subject parcel (APN: 179-171-29) for the proposed expansion area is currently vacant. On April 13, 2018, the applicant filed this Use Permit to expand the existing 1.16 acre pallet sales and repair facility to include the adjacent 0.55 acre parcel for storage only. Merger The proposed project is an expansion of an existing pallet sales and repair facility onto an adjacent parcel. If this Use Permit is approved, the facility will encompass two (2) parcels. Therefore, as a Condition of Approval, a Merger application will be required. The Merger application must be completed prior to the issuance of any building or grading permits for the facility expansion. A fee is required for this application. Facility Operation The pallet repair facility operates Monday through Saturday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with three (3) employees per shift. The applicant estimates having one (1) customer per shift and a total of four (4) vehicles per shift. Currently, the existing pallet repair facility operates with one office building and one covered repair area. The remainder of the parcel is utilized for pallet storage. The proposed expansion parcel, with a proposed surfacing of compacted aggregate base, will be for pallet storage only; no structures are proposed. Screeninq of Storage Areas Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1022.4(e)(2)(A), storage materials and related activities shall be screened so as not to be visible from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. Said screening shall be six (6) to eight (8) feet in height. Items stored within one hundred (100) feet of a dedicated street or residential zone shall not be stacked higher than two (2) feet above the adjacent screen. The subject parcel is visible on the south side from Clark Drive and on the west side from Clark Drive and State Route 99 East Frontage Road. If this Use Permit to expand the existing facility for storage only is approved, the parcel must be screened on these sides so as not to be visible from these public rights-of way. Additionally, materials can be stacked no higher than two (2) feet above the screening within one hundred (100)feet of these streets.
