ACTION 1 of 9 )~Ay231995 ITEM -'AGENDA REPOR CITY OF POWAY TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: James L. Bowersox, City Manager INITIATED BY: John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manager Reba Wright-Quastler, Director of Planning S Stephen A. Streeter, Principal Planner DATE: May 23, 1995 MANDATORY ACTION DATE: June 6, 1995 SUBJECT: Interpretation of South Poway Development Standards to allow towing operation and temporary storage of vehicles on Lots 41 and 42 within Parkway Business Centre, Anytime Towing, Applicant APN: 317-810-18 & 19 BACKGROUND Anytime Towing plans to relocate from their location on Poway Road to the Parkway Business Centre by ummer 1995. Anytime Towing signed a contract with the San Diego Police Depar ent beginning in January 1995, in addition to existing contracts with the riff's Department, California Highway Patrol, and various automobile clubs, he contracts will involve the towing and temporary storage of approximately 150-200 impounded late model vehicles monthly. In order to meet the demands of this Anytime Towing needs a location for the tow operation and temporary storage of the impounded vehicles. P has been secured for a tow storage yard in the Miramar area. The Poway facility would cover nearby North County communities. On August 18, 1994, the City Council held a pre-development conference on this use within the business ark and concurred that it would receive consideration with a conditional use ermit. The South Poway Development Standards do not allow for outdoor stor ge of vehicles on a perm nent basis at present. On December 6, 1994, a simi ar request for Lots 37 and 8 of Parkway Business Centre was removed from calendar until written p o roceed was obtained f om the property owner of another lot or lots for the in en ed purpose. On Decem er 13, 1994, the City Council adopted a resolution to init ate various specific p an amendments, including one for outdoor storage uses with n the business park. he specific plan amendment is expected to be on one of the June 1995 City Council agendas. ACTION: 2 of 9 MAY g 3 1995 ITEM 24 Agenda Report May 23, 1995 Page 2 The applicant is seeking from the City Co ncil that they be allowed to relocate the towing operation on Lots 41 and 42 o Parkway Business Centre, 1.64 acres on the north side of Danielson Street ident fied as A Parcel Numbers 317-810-18 and 19. The applicant is in escrow or these two lots and will pursue a conditional use permit/development review for permanent facilities on these lots within the next two months. FINDINGS The request is similar to the staff action of September 1993 to allow for the temporary outdoor storage of vehicles while a building was being ~ for Bundy Trucking on Lot 42 of Tech Business Center. This same approach is being requested here. A request for the City Council to initiate a specific plan amendment to designate certain lots within the business park for outside storage uses or heavy industrial uses by conditional use permit was approved on December 13, 1994. These lots will be among the lots recommended for those conditional uses. Staff has received a preliminary conditional use permit submittal for Anytime Towing on Lots 41 and 42. The applicant has reached terms with Poway Venture Ltd., owner of'these lots within Parkway Business Centre. When the City Council considered this request at an August 18, 1994 pre-development conference, Lots 75 and 104 owned by Cadillac Fairview Pomerado, Inc. on Stotler Court were proposed. Several other lots were considered in the intervening time. Anytime Towing proposes to enclose the perimeter with a minimum six foot fence. This fence will be set back 25 feet from the street. The fence will have slats or nylon windscreens in the chain link. Eventually, a masonry wall would be installed surrounded by five feet of landscaping on the exterior side and rear yards with 25 feet of landscaping in the front yard area other than the driveway access. A hazardous waste management program will be i lemented utilizing hazardous waste recovery pans. These pans will be approxima ely 4 feet by 5 feet by 1 inch deep. Pans will be placed under vehicles emitt ng any hazardous by-products. Anytime Towing anticipates that 10 percent of he vehicles they handle will require hazardous waste management. In cases where vehicles are towed from traffic accidents, most of the fluids are spilled at the accident site and cleaned up there. - A modular office building of 2450 square feet and a shop/storage building of 420 square feet ar proposed eventually. Initially, a rented trailer of less han 500 square fee will be used. Three shipping containers are proposed to s ore materials for he business. Two are 8 feet high by 40 feet long and one s 8 feet high by 2- feet long. A temporary use permit was granted to store these on property on the west side of Adah Lane, south of Poway Road. The have been painted a beige color to be more compatible with the surroundings. Anytime Towing anticipates housing 150 to 200 late model vehicles monthly t at - will be temporarily stored for negligent impound reasons within six months of he contract effective date. These vehicles require no special handling except or storage. It is estimated that 90 percent of impounded cars are removed wit in three days. 3 of 9 ~AY 2 2 1995 ITEM 24 Agenda Report May 23, 1995 Page 3 Car' Shultz, the owner of Anytime Towing, has been in the auto repair/towing bus ness in the City of Poway since 1974 and currently has 16 employees. Their bus ness assists Local Law Enforcement and Transportation Officials and collects neg igent impound fees on behalf of the City of Poway. f the City Council concurs that the outdoor temporary storage of vehicles on a ot within the Parkway Business Centre is allowable, then staff will proceed to ssue the TUP on May 24, 1995 subject to the conditions outlined in Attachment This temporary use permit will expire on July 15, 1995 unless additional time is granted by the current property owner and approved by the City. A con itional use permit application for the proposed use on the proposed site s all be scheduled on a City Council agenda with or after their consi eration of a specific plan amendment to allow outside storage uses and heavy in ustrial uses by conditional use permit within the business park. The conditions will be comparable to CUP 90-18 for Rancho Towing on Quate Court approved by the City Council on January 29, 1991.
