Preliminary review of your project was conducted on Thursday, July 7, 1994. Listed below are the
issues raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with
direction and comments on the overall concept of your project. The review does not
re~resent an indmth anahis of mur miect Additional issues of concern mav be raised after mur
amlication is submitted and ~~ocessed for a more medic and detailed review.
..
1. Development of any lot within this specific plan area (SP 181 (A)) requires approval of a
Planned Industrial Permit (PIP) by the Planning Director.
2. Based upon the plans submitted, the parking requirement for the proposed use should be
recalculated, as discussed in detail in the comments below.
a. The dashed area on the plans (in the Northwest corner) appears to be the "future
building" area listed on the legend. However? no provision has been made on the plans
for parking for this area. The plans should clearly indicate the anticipated use category of the future area and how adequate parking and site circulation will be addressed for
the total anticipated building area.
b. The plans do not indicate whether any company vehicles wiU be associated with the
proposed use. If there will be such vehicles, parking for those vehicles must be
provided in addition to the required parking for the building square footages.
c. Staff appreciates the additional information regarding the uses of the various building
areas (provided by telephone to Elaine Blackburn). Based on that information, staff
has tentatively classified the various use areas according to the appropriate parking
ratios as follows:
(1) Plan areas labelled "office" should be parked at the office parking ratio
(2) Areas labelled "research and development" should be parked at the
(3) The areas labelled "warehouse", "storage", and "freeze dqf could be
(4) All other areas should be parked at the manufacturing ratio (1:400).
(5) As indicated above (Item "2b") parking for any company vehicles would
have to be provided in addition to the parking required for the building
square footages.

(6) No assumption has been made for the future building area. However,
staff suggests you assume a higher (Le., more restrictive) ratio for that
area for planning purposes to ensure that adequate parking can be
provided.
3. Staff suggests you enhance the proposed architecture. This could be done through additional building articulation, creation of an area of particular visual interest (e.g., a specially landscaped entry area), or by some other means.
4. Staff also suggests you consider another location for the outdoor eating *ea. The area
currently proposed appears to be subject to noise and odors from the truck loading and trash
areas. (Note: As part of the PIP approval process, you will need to include on the plans
detailed information regarding the proposed eating area amenities.)
5. The layout of the parking lot should be reviewed to assure that delivery vehicles can safely
circulate and maneuver from the driveway entrance to the delivery area. This factor should
also be taken into account for any future building expansions on this site.
6. The proposed curb ramp to front Kellogg Avenue should not encroach into the public right-of- way.
7. A clear distance of S, for backing up of vehicles, is required for those parking stalls located in
the comer of the end of a parking aisle.
8. If this project is formally submitted for a discretionary pexmit, it will be subject to comply with
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This permit requires the
project to provide best management practices to reduce surface pollutants to an acceptable
level prior to discharge. The plans should indicate how this requirement will be met.
We have included a set of red-lined checkprints to assist you in any necessary revisions to your plans.
Please contact Elaine Blackburn at 438-1161 extension 4471 if you have any questions.
