While the planning commission welcomes public involvement and free speech, it rejects comments from anyone that are discriminatory, defamatory, or otherwise not protective speech.

Those comments will not inform or be considered by this planning commission and may cause the chair to interrupt the speaker.

Such comments will not be consented to or otherwise adopted by the planning commission in its discussion and findings for any matter tonight.

Thank you.

Next on the agenda is public hearing on the appeal of the zoning administrators' approval of conditional permit number 24-011.

The mitigated negative declaration number 24-002 at Redondo Circle Industrial Project.

Planning Commissioners, please state your disclosures and regarding this item.

Please start on my right.

Along with the developer there.

Yes, uh Principal Planner Joana Cortez will be giving the presentation.

The item before you is located at 760 Redondo Circle.

It's located at the terminus of Redondo Circle.

The nearest major intersection is Gothard Street and Talbot Avenue.

The general planned land use designation is industrial, and the zoning designation is industrial limited.

The project site is surrounded by industrial uses to the north and to the west.

And there is also a uh religious assembly use there along with an existing uh railroad right-of-way that's immediately adjacent to this site.

There is multifamily development and a park to the right or to the east, and single family development to the south.

So the class before you today is to demolish an existing lumber yard and remove all associated site improvements, including all railroad services, and construct two industrial warehouse buildings, approximately 40 feet in height, one at 98,360 square feet, and the other at 87,552 square feet.

Each building is proposed with two office and mezzanine floor units and truckloading docks on an approximately 9.59 acre site.

A mitigated negative declaration has been prepared to analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with the project, and all suggested mitigation measures have been provided along with the suggested findings and conditions of approval in your agenda packet.

The following are uh photos of the existing site.

Here we have to the north the front of the existing lumber yard right here.

Um, then to the south of the project, we have Taylor Drive.

This is the rear of the lumber yard.

This is the single family residential.

And then to the east, this is the east side of the site.

This is Parkview Lane, which leads to the multifamily residential here at the end of the street, along with uh Terry Park further to the east.

This is the reliable lumber site from within the interior.

As you can see, there is uh it's an outdoor operation.

Then along Redondo to the east, there are other existing industrial uses.

So to the east and to the west, the project is surrounded by other industrial uses.

Here we have a site plan of the proposed project along with a breakdown of the zoning designations that surround the subject site.

Once again, we have open space to the east, residential high density to the east as well, along with industrial to the north and east.

To the south, we have Taylor, across Taylor, we have low density residential, and as you can see, research and technology, which is an industrial uh type of zoning, and a public, semi-public, or religious assembly use that's right there, and right here in between, we have the existing railroad right-of-way.

Um, the project will utilize there's currently two existing uh public driveways, minimizing the changes to the established circulation patterns.

The site once again is located at the end of Redondo Circle with access to major arterials, including Talbot Avenue and Gothard Street, which will serve, which serve the surrounding industrial area.

Redondal Circle will remain the primary point of ingress and egress consistent with the existing lumber yard, as well as the other industrial uses and the neighboring uses that are right there.

Conditions have been added to limit the rear gate.

There's an existing gate right here for emergency vehicle access only.
