5.2 REVIEW OF SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA.- Section 1009.02D of the City Code establishes additional standards and criteria that are specific to drive-through facilities; they are as follows. a. Areas of outdoor activit y or storage shall be located to the side or rear of buildings and shall not be located between the principal use and the primary public street. The proposed outdoor storage area is at the rear of the building, adjacent to the railroad tracks and facing other industrial properties; this location should not be visible from the public street. b. Areas of outdoor activit y or storage shall be screened by a solid opaque wall or fence at least 8feet in height. The proposed fencing illustrated with the site plan (included with this staff report as Attachment C) is consistent with this requirement. c. Aggregates and other granular materials shall be stored in such away that prevents erosion. Aggregates or granular materials are not proposed to be stored outdoors. d. The Planning ('70mmission and City Council shall give special consideration to the height of equipment and materials stored outside and its visibililyfrom nearby properties and roadways. The proposal indicates that the outdoor building materials would be kept at or below the top of the proposed fence. 5.3 Roseville's Development Review Committee, a body comprising staff from various City departments,, met on September 8th to review and discuss the proposal. The main comments which have not been addressed above are as follows.- a. Stack heights of materials stored outdoors should be limited to 8 feet so as to not protrude above the screen fence. b. Pending review by the Fire Marshal, the storage area access gate may need to be wide enough to allow access by fire apparatus. 5.4 Review of the proposed outdoor storage area against the CONDITIONAL USE standards and criteria leads Planning Division staff to conclude that the use can meet all pertinent requirements. Some of the requirements (e.g., height of the stacks of materials, storage of erodible materials,, etc) may be best addressed with conditions of approval to ensure that the Planning Commission and City Council can review any changes to the proposal in the future as new CONDITIONAL USE applications. 6.0 PUBLIC COMMENT The duly-noticed public hearing for this application was held on October 5, 2011 - no members of the public were in attendance to comment on the proposed CONDITIONAL USE. After closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (i.e., 7-0) to recommend approval of the proposed outdoor storage; draft minutes of the public hearing are included with this staff report as Attachment D. At the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff has received no comments or questions about the proposal from members of the public. PFI 1 -02 5—RCA — 102411 Page 3 of 4
