ITEM 25 (203-09 )
SOUTH POWAY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
TEMPORARY STORAGE OF VEHICLES
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Anytime Towing plans to relocate from
their location on Poway Road to the Parkway Business Centre. Since May 23, 1995
when this was on the City Council agenda, the applicant has negotiated to use Lot
13. A revised site plan is being developed. Staff is requesting that the City
Council concur with the interpretation that temporary outdoor storage is allowed.
Staff will issue a Temporary Use Permit, and the applicant will come forward with
a Conditional Use Permit later this summer.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
David Pudgel who operates Rancho Towing in Poway, stated his firm had to
complete their CUP improvements before they could use their site for wrecked
vehicles and cited the hazardous fluids that drain from wrecked vehicles. He
stated it is not fair to allow this applicant to have a Temporary Use Permit
before they do improvements.
Kent Nielsen, 12706 Soule Street, employed by Rancho Towing, stated a one
inch deep dri p pan wh i ch will be requi red by a Temporary Use Permit is not
sufficient to retain hazardous fluids.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Don Mechling, 13863 Millards Ranch Lane
Cary Shultz, 13939 Poway Road, owner of Anytime Towing, stated only
operable vehicles will be stored until permanent improvements are completed.
Principal Planner Streeter noted that approval of Specific Plan Amendment 84-01Y
on June 27, 1995, will make this an allowable use on certain lots in the South
Poway Business Park and will negate the need for an interpretation.
Mot i on by Counc i 1 member Emery, seconded by Counc i 1 member Rexford to cont i nue th is
item to June 27, 1995. Motion carried unanimously.
