On October of 2006 the San Joaquin County Planning Commission approved Planning Application No. PA-0600448 (RN) amending the name of a portion of the 2300 foot long curved section of Lower Sacramento Road, south of Harney Lane. The new names are Extension Court and Elderberry Court. The new realigned portion of Lower Sacramento Road continues with the name from Harney Lane south to the existing roadway. Residence/Office General Plan Volume I Section IV.A.2 Policies 6 (pg. IV-17) states that residential development may be permitted in planned commercial areas if part of a mixed use development or if accessory to the commercial use, such as a caretaker residence or apartments above a commercial use. The applicant is proposing a 1,200 square foot office/residence as accessory to the personal storage facility. As a result, the residence may be permitted accessory to the proposed personal storage facility. Nonconforming Use Development Title Section 9-235.3(a)(3) states that if the nonconforming use is superseded by a conforming use, or if the nonconforming use ceases for any reason for a period of more than twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, any subsequent use shall conform to the requirements of this Title for the zone in which it is located and the nonconforming use may not thereafter be resumed. The applicant will need to provide evidence that the present nonconforming use has existed within the last twelve (12) consecutive calendar months. Delays caused by the County may be subtracted from the total delay (i.e. the time it took to move the roadway). Landscaping Development Title Section 9-1020.7 states that a minimum ten (10) foot wide planting strip is required along adjacent streets. The strip must be continuous except where crossed by driveways and walkways. It appears that the applicant has not proposed landscaping and as a result when the applicant is ready to submit the full application it will be necessary to submit revised drawings. Signs Development Title Section 9-1710.4(d)(1)(C) states that pole signs in the C-L zone cannot exceed twenty-five (25) feet in height. The site plan legend denotes a 30 foot high pole sign, but it is not clear where the location of the sign is proposed. As a result, the proposed sign height exceeds the maximum sign height standards and the location of the proposed pole sign will need to be clarified. Moreover, Development Title Section 9-1710.4(j) states that the requirements of the sign section may be modified by the Review Authority in cases in which, due to the unusual nature of the development proposal, the requirements set forth herein may be considered insufficient or excessive. Thus, if the applicant is proposing to modify the sign standards the project description will need to be revised and the location of the proposed sign will need to be show on the revised site plans. Furthermore it appears that two additional signs are proposed, one near the proposed office/residence location and the other at the northeast corner of Alberg Road and Lower Sacramento Road, passing the preliminary pond. Accordingly, sign details shall be consistent with Chapter 9-1710 of the Development Title.
