Preliminary review of your project was conducted on 01-18-96. 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. Tm
review does not reoresent an in-dedh analvsis of Your Droiect. Additional issues
of concern may be raised after Your arJplication is submitted and Drocessed for a
more sDecific and detailed review.

Overall, the site plan and architecture generally conforms to the requirements of
Specific Plan 181 (A) although there are come concerns regarding turning radii for
the truck loading areas. See engineering comments below.
A Planned Industrial Permit will be required for this project. An application
package is attached.
A Hillside Development Permit will be required for building into the slope on the
Western portion of the lot. This permit can be processed concurrently with the
Planned Industrial Permit. An application package is included for the permit.
The employee eating area is shown to be about 900 sq. ft. with 1500 sq. ft.
required. The remainder may be provided within the building.
The current plan meets the parking requirements, although some may be lost due
to redesign of the entry and turning requirements as stated below in the
Engineering section.
The legal description should reflect Parcel 1 of map 15687. This was from the
minor subdivision (MS 783) that created the lot.

7. Some landscaping should be provided along the eastern property line to screen
the loading bay area from the adjacent site. Also consider placing some
landscape islands along the eastern parking area to create smaller areas rather
than one long row of parking spaces.
Enaineerina Issues:
1. A queuing area with a minimum length of 20’ is required at the driveway to the
project, measured from back of curb. This area should be clear of all parking
stalls.
2. The minimum required width for a commercial driveway is 30’.
3. It appears that a truck cannot back into the loading dock without encroaching into
parking stalls. Turning radii should be plotted on the plan to demonstrate that the
site can accommodate a 60’ truck turning radius, per California Department of
Transportation Highway Design Manual, Figure 407D.
4. For the loading area in the southwest corner of the site, the required radius is 42’,
per California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual, Figure 407E.
5. A clear distance of 5’, for backing up of vehicles, is required for those parking
stalls located in the corner of the end of a parking aisle.
6. Future discretionary applications for this project should include additional
information regarding the proposed retaining wall along the western edge of the
site. As a minimum, a geotechnical report should be submitted which discusses
the soils analysis, design criteria, drainage requirements, and other related items
for this structure.
7. While no drainage rates are shown, please note the City recommends a minimum
1 % slope for site drainage. Please also note that this project is subject to comply
with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which
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, including runoff in the truck well area in front of
the loading dock.
Other industrial projects have utilized methods such as directing runoff from paved
parking areas towards a landscaped swale prior to reaching the storm drain; or
providing a drainage basin that has been modified to remove pollutants, and
having it installed to treat runoff prior to discharge into the storm drain.
