P24-0348 – Site Development Plan for a Scaffold Materials Storage Yard

The proposed project consists of a Site Development Plan to allow for a scaffold materials storage yard on a 0.61-acre site (APN 219-531-45-00) located at 2232 La Mirada Drive. Sahara Scaffold will use the site for storage of wood planks and metal scaffolding parts. Onsite operations would include the use of a forklift to load scaffolding materials onto flat-bed trucks for delivery to construction sites. The hours of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Site improvements include 720 square feet of landscaping along the street frontage, an 8-foot-tall split-face block wall to screen the open storage area from street view, a driveway approach, and a retaining wall along the property’s interior property lines. The site of the proposed project has a general plan land use designation of IG (Industrial General), and is zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing) by Specific Plan No. 14. The 0.61-acre project site is substantially surrounded by industrial uses, and it does not contain habitat for any endangered, rare, or threatened species. In addition, the site is adequately served by all required public services and utilities; and the project approval would not result in any significant air quality, noise, traffic, or water quality impacts.
