to include six buildings that total 182,320 square feet for the enclosed storage of 275 recreational vehicles. On July 2, 2007, the Community Development Department approved Minor Subdivision application No. PA-0700108 to create 275 condominium storage units for recreational vehicles. The entire site is now fully developed. The applicants filed Zone Reclassification application No. PA-0700407 to change the zoning from I-W/S-11 to I-W, which would permit the Automobile Sales and Services, Operable Vehicle Storage; Automobile Sales and Services, Parking; Personal Storage; and Wholesaling and Distribution, Light Use Types. The new uses may be conditionally permitted in the I-W zone with an approved Site Approval application. However, pursuant to Development Title Section 9-505.5(b), any change in an existing industrial use to a new industrial use which requires either a Site Approval or an Improvement Plan shall be permitted without a Site Approval or Improvement Plan, provided the Review Authority finds that the proposed use is less detrimental to, or will have no greater impact, the zone than the existing use. Basis for Zone Reclassification Prior to approving an application for a Zone Reclassification, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors must determine that the proposed district is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan and also that the zone district is reasonable and beneficial at the time. There are four Special Conditions that apply to this parcel: (1): The use on the site is restricted to the dry storage of privately owned recreational vehicles. (2): The site shall connect to public utilities when they are available and are requested by the City of Manteca. (3): The use of an off-site sign shall be permitted. (4): Install a masonry wall at Austin Road and State Route 120. This parcel was fully developed in accordance with the Special Conditions. The only permitted use is for recreational vehicle storage. There is no billboard on site, however, a billboard is a conditionally permitted use in the 1-W zone with an approved Site Approval application. This parcel does not abut Austin Road, so the condition pertaining to the masonry wall does not pertain to this property. The uses that the existing buildings could support, such as personal, automobile, and commercial storage, are no more intensive than the current use. The listed potential uses would be permitted without further review. Any use that is deemed more intensive, which would be any use other than dry storage, would require a new permit. These buildings are new, and therefore meet current development standards for wells and septic systems. This project is consistent with the General Plan because the existing project is consistent with the General Plan and the potential uses with the Special Conditions removed are consistent with the General Plan. There is no applicable Master Plan or Specific Plan in the vicinity. The use is reasonable and beneficial at this time because the additional uses that can reasonably be foreseen are no more intensive than the current use and will more fully realize the potential of the development. 2
