Item No. 5 PC: 10-22-92 UP-92-26 - Page 3 Traffic/Circulation/Parking: The site has access by frontage on Peltier Road. The applicant is proposing a single 30-foot-wide driveway. By ordinance, the driveways shall be 35 to 40 feet wide. Also proposed is a 33,050-square-foot graveled truck parking lot. It is recommended that the parking and circulation drive lanes be surfaced with a minimum of two inches of asphalt concrete or four inches of Portland Cement concrete and that other areas that could potentially have vehicular traffic should be surfaced with a chip seal. On the Improvement Plan, the parking area may need to be expanded to show adequate parking and circulation for ten trucks. In addition to the truck parking, 11 paved parking spaces are required for autos to comply with the requirements of the Planing Title(2 per 1,000 square feet of office space [1] plus one for each employee on the busiest shift [10]). One residence is likely to produce 10 daily passenger car trips. Ten employees will likely produce 10 daily passenger car trips. The ten trucks will likely produce 10 daily truck trips or 20 daily passenger car equivalents. Therefore, this project, at buildout, is likely to produce 40 daily passenger car equivalent trips(80 trip ends). As this project is limited to 10 trucks, and is located on a minor arterial 600 feet from a freeway on-ramp, it is unlikely that this project will have a significant impact on the level of service of the local highways. The Department of Public Works is not requiring a traffic study. Landscaping/Signs: Consistent with requirements of the Ttle, the applicant is proposing five-foot-wide landscaped strips along adjacent properties and a ten-foot-wide landscaped strip along Peltier Road. No signs are proposed. FACILITIES/SERVICES: Storm Drainage: The applicant is proposing 'natural drainage' to the street and adjacent properties. However, it is recommended that an on-site storm drainage pond be provided. In addition, Section 9- 4004.4(k)(16) requires that all drainage from asphalted and cemented parking and driveway areas be routed through an oil/sand trap tank prior to entering an on-site retention basin. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: An Initial Study was prepared for this project on August 31, 1992, 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.
