Analysis Background On October 3, 2013, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit application No. PA-1300124 to establish a crane rental facility, which included the construction of a 15,000 square foot repair shop, for incidental repair of cranes, and a 3,200 square foot office building. Improvements were constructed and the use was established. On November 3, 2016, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit application No. PA-1600198 to expand the existing crane rental facility, including the construction of an 8,960 square foot equipment storage building. On February 19, 2019, the applicant applied for Use Permit application No. PA-1900030 to further expand the crane rental facility, which includes the construction of a 14,400 square foot equipment storage building with an 8,000 square foot overhang. Facility Operations The existing facility operates Monday through Saturday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with a maximum of thirty- five (35) employees and approximately three (3) customers per day. No increase in hours, employees, or customers is proposed with this expansion. CSA 30 The project site is located within County Service Area 30 (CSA 30 Manteca Industrial Area) for water services. As a Condition of Approval for the previously approved Use Permit application No. PA-1300124, the project area was required to annex into the district. As a result, an 8.42-acre northern portion of the property was annexed into CSA 30. The proposed equipment storage building is located within the annexed area, and will be served by CSA 30. Parking Modification Use Permit Application No. PA-1300124 required forty-one (41) parking stalls, and Use Permit Application No. PA-1600198 required an additional two (2) parking stalls, in addition to the existing forty-one (41) parking stalls, resulting in forty-three (43) existing required parking stalls. The Use Type Equipment Sales & Repair— Heavy Equipment Sales, requires one (1) parking space for every 1,000 square feet of building, and .67 per employee. As a result, fifteen (15) additional parking spaces would be required for this expansion. However, the applicant submitted a letter dated March 5, 2019, requesting a modification in the number of parking spaces required. The letter states that the proposed expansion to the existing crane rental facility consists of storage area only, and the number of employees and anticipated customers will not increase. The applicant has requested that there be no additional parking spaces required with this project. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and is recommending the Planning Commission approve the modification. San Joaquin Council of Governments San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), and this project is subject to the plan. Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a San Joaquin County PA-1900030/Powell Community Development Page 4
