Neighborhood Enterprises Storage Minor Use Permit

The project consists of an entitlement request for a Minor Use Permit for the operation of a vehicle towing and storage facility in a M-1 Zoning District, on two parcels totaling approximately 3.07 acres in an urbanized area that is adjacent to other industrial uses, and one multifamily use. Towing and Storage businesses are allowed in the M-1 zone upon approval of the Minor Use Permit. The project will not develop nor utilize the entire 3.07 acres. The majority of improvements and operations will be located on the northernmost parcel and a small, storage lot for 20 vehicles will be located on a portion of the southern parcel. If approved, the applicant would grade the property, remove two non-native elm trees, and construct a new, asphalt-paved driveway, parking lot, and fire turnaround. Other improvements would include: construction of a 5,000-square foot office building, placement of approximately 300 linear feet of 12 inch storm drain pipe, landscaping, sidewalk, curb and gutter, an 8-foot x 8-foot trash enclosure, placement of SMUD electrical facilities, connection to public sewer, 3-foot wide bioretention swales, and placement of a chain-link screening fence and gate at the western boundary lines.
