use within said structure subject to an approved Site Approval application. The applicant applied for a Site Approval application on February 2, 2012. Site Plan - The site plan depicts an existing gate along the northern property line. Development Title Section 9-1022.2(f) states any gate shall be set back or recessed a minimum of ten (10)feet form the property line. The site plan appears to meet this requirement and shall be shown on the Improvement Plan. Screening Development Title Section 9-1022.4(d)(1) states "if a commercial project abuts a residential zone, an area shown on the General Plan for residential use, or a conforming residential use, a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height shall be erected along the abutting property line." The abutting parcel to the east is zoned Rural Residential (R-R) and has a General Plan designation of Rural Residential (R/R). There is an existing residence on the parcel located 65 feet east of the eastern property line. As a result, a solid masonry wall six (6) to seven (7) feet in height along the eastern property line would be required. There is an existing six foot high wooden fence along the northern 110 feet the eastern property line.

The applicant submitted a letter dated February 29, 2012 requesting to modify the screening requirements from a masonry wall to a wooden fence. The intended use for the existing buildings is an office and storage building for the landscaping business. The front area will be used for parking and the rear of the property contains the leach field. Provided there is no outside storage of landscaping materials in the rear of the property as shown on the site plan, the wooden fence provides adequate screening for the proposed project. Therefore, the wooden fence meets the intent of the screening chapter of the Development Title. Parkin The applicant is proposing six (6) parking spaces. Development Title Section 9- 1015.3(b) requires .67 parking spaces per employees and two (2) other spaces for the Nursery Sales and Service-Landscaping Services use type. As a result, 4 spaces would be required, including one van accessible space. The site plan meets this requirement. The guidelines for parking stall dimensions for automobiles are a minimum of nine (9) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long (Development Title Section 9-1015.5). The handicapped accessible parking space must be twenty (20) feet long by seventeen (17) feet wide (nine (9) feet wide parking area and an eight (8)foot wide loading and 2
