City of Roseville - Planning Commission Agenda for June 1, 2005Page 5 of 7 The site, approximately 6.3 acres, can currently provide parking space for 800 to 900 passenger vehicles. If used to capacity, the interim use for trailer parking could handle approximately 300 trailers at one time. Most trailers will be empty, all will be locked. The Community Development Staff recommends approval of the Interim Use Permit for the reasons stated in Section 5 of the project report dated August 3, 2005, subject to the following conditions: a.The temporary use (truck trailer parking) must be limited to two years. Trailers must be common freight trailers, with a maximum of 300 stored on the site at any one time. Petro- chemical tankers are prohibited. Should the Meritex building at 2555 Walnut again lease space to companies who must have additional employee parking during the term of this IUP, Meritex must remove trailer parking, reconfigure the parking lot, and allow for the needed passenger vehicle parking. b.The trailer parking area must be fenced (with four gates) for security and to contain the trailers in designated areas. Meritex must use “best management practices” to control dust, snow, spills, fires, and explosions. c.The applicant must submit a safety/security plan for review by the Fire and Police Departments, and the IUP is subject to their approval of security and safety improvements. d.While stored on the site, all trailers must be locked. e.Street sweeping shall be used as necessary or as required by the Public Works or Community Development Department (per the City Street Cleaning Policy – attached) to reduce dirt from affecting adjacent roadway surfaces. f.The Interim Use Permit shall be allowed for a period of two years from August 2005 through August 2007. g.The issuance of an Interim Use Permit is no guarantee that the trailer parking use will be given permanent land use status, nor that the Interim Use Permit could even be extended. Member Boerigter asked for details of parking on the site by the owner/applicants. Member Wozniak asked what will be stored in the trucks. Dennis Welsch explained the requirement of a security and safety plan for these trucks, to be reviewed by Police and Fire Departments. Steve Dorff, Meritex, and Tom Quinlan, tenant explained the trucks will be empty except for returns with surplus materials. Member Doherty asked what percent of the building is leased currently (60%), but may drop as low as 45% by December. Mr. Dorff explained that this (truck parking on an interim basis) is not the permanent lease Meritex seeks. The future may include redevelopment of the site. No further public comment was offered. Chair Traynor closed the hearing. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Boerigter, to recommend approval of an Interim Use Permit for Meritex Enterprises for a two year (August 2005 through August 2007) period to allow the storage of a maximum of 300 motor freight trailers on a fenced lot located east of Walnut Street at the approximate address of 2258-2280 Walnut Street based on the comments in Section 5 and the conditions in Section 6 of the project report dated August 3, 2005.
