City of Needles, California Employee Report ======================================================================== Meeting Date: March 2, 2016 PLANNING COMMISSION Regular Special Title: Planning Commission Resolution No. 03-02-2016 PC A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Needles Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit For A Steel Building Storage Business, Vehicle Paint Facility At 1200 E. Broadway, Also Known as APN 0650-282-15 and 16 Background: Applicant Billy Berkenheger, as representative for Billy B s Arrive and Drive Boats and RV Storage recently purchased the property at 1200 E. Broadway, previously used as a warehouse facility for Colorado River Distributors. The applicant is proposing to use the existing building as a vehicle paint facility, and install two new steel buildings behind the existing facility to function as a concierge storage facility. Building A has a dimension of 165 x 200, or 33,000 square feet, and can house up to 70 boats; building B has a dimension of 165 x 350, or 57,750 square feet, and can house up to 100 boats. Installation of the new buildings is planned to be a phased approach, with installation of Bldg. A anticipated to be completed by end of 2016; installation of building B will begin as soon as occupancy of bldg. A reaches 50%. The concierge service will provide staffing who will travel to the vehicle owner s site to pick up and drop off vehicles, minimizing the traffic flow into and out of the project site. Because of this unique service offering, a traffic study is being delayed pending determination on whether traffic flow is expected to increase significantly enough to warrant the study and possible street modifications. Staffing for the vehicle paint facility is expected to be no more than 3 employees; staffing for the boat concierge service will be seasonally adjusted, anticipating 5-6 employees during the boating season and 2 employees during off-season. The applicant will be enhancing the steel buildings with 48 high cultured stone veneer along the south and a portion of the east facades, see attached exhibits. Conditional Use Permit Findings. In accordance with Section 94.07, the Planning Commission must make the following findings for a Conditional Use Permit: 1. That the requested permit is within its jurisdiction according to the table of permissible uses 2. The application is complete. 3. The use is consistent with the General Plan. 4.
