;ts,m No. 2 PC: 8-19-93 L[P-93-10 Page 3 STAFF ANALYSIS POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Zoning: The General Plan designation for this site is I/L (Limited Indu-striao, and the implementing zone is I-W (Warehouse Industrial). Trailer parking may be conditionally permitted in the I-W zone with an approved Use Permit. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Land Use: This five-acre site lies at the southwest corner of a vacant 16-acre parcel. North of the parcel is State Route 120, elevated approximately 40 feet above grade. To the east and south is the Union Pacific Railroad and vacant industrial land. To the west is more vacant industrial property. Other uses in the vicinity are related to trucking or agriculture. Farther to the south is the Oakwood Lake recreational area. The applicant originally proposed a 10-foot-wide landscape strip along the north border of the site. It is recommended that the landscape strip be deleted and a row of trees be planted along the north end of the site. The trees will be planted south of the PG&E easement and west of the Sierra and San Francisco Power Company easement. This will provide a screen for the entire site and will fit in better with the applicant's future plans. Access/Parkinq/Traffic: Madruga Road ends in a cul-de-sac a few feet from this parcel. A 30-foot-wide driveway, built to fire code and County standards, will extend 210 feet into the parcel from the end of Madruga Road and adjacent to the proposed trailer storage yard. Access to the storage yard will be though a 50-foot-wide gate. It is recommended that parking and circulation areas within the storage yard be surfaced with asphaltic concrete or other approved material. Areas used only for storage are to be surfaced with crushed rock. It is expected that this project will generate less than 30 trips per day and will not have a significant impact on local traffic. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: An Initial Study was prepared for this project on July 9, 1993, and no significant environmental impacts were identified. On the basis of that review, a Negative Declaration was prepared. In addition, a Certificate of Fee Exemption with a 'De Minimis Impact Finding' has been prepared which indicates that this project could not have a significant impact on fish and wildlife resources.
