That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. It was the consensus of the Commission that the proposed use was a low-traffic generator and is a less intense use than the typical industrial development for which the property is zoned. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. " '. 3. That the site for the pmposed use is adequate in size and shape to . accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parkin;;, loadinr;, landscaping and other features requited to adjust said use with tile land and uses uses in the neighborhood, The operation of a self-storage facility does !lot need the amount of parking that other permitted uses in the industrial zone require. Typically businesses in an industri:'ll zone are engaged in processing, assembling, manufacturing and warehousing of products which requires parking for employees, The parking needs for a self -storage facility are limited to persons paying their monthly bills and persons making inquiries. All loading and unloading of material is done at the storage unit. 4. Lower Azusa Road is designated as a major arterial on the General Plan and is adequate in width and pavement type to carry the limited amount of traffic generated by this use. 5. That the granting of such Condiiional Use Permit will ~ot adversely affect ". the comprehensive General Plan since the General Plan designaiion for this site is industrial. 6.

BUTLER, ASSOCIATE PLANNER CASE NO.: C.U.P.85-23 GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Public Storage, Inc. (owner in escrow) LOCATION: South side of Lower Azusa Road, east of Roseglen REQUEST: Conditional use permit to operate a public storage facility with a security manager's unit and modification for I I - -parking spaces in lieu of 126 spaces required LOT AREA: The subject site contains 130,680 sq. ft. (3 acres) FRONT AGE: 968.24 feet on Lower Azusa Road EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: Vacant, zoned M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing) SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: South and East: West: Developed with a depleted gravel pit; zoned M-2 The site is the San Gabriel River bed Vacant land; zoned M-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Industrial __ PROPOSAL I. - This project is proposed to be constructed on Parcel I of Tentative Parcel Map 85-16. Buildin2 Information The applicant is proposing to construct a 62,800 square foot self -storage facility consisting of five one-story storage buildings and a one-story storage building with a security manager's unit, office and public restrooms. Each of the single-story buildings will be a maximum of 13'-0" in height. The buildings will be tilt up concrete panels painted a Lamswool color. The Lower Azusa Road elevation will be textured concrete tilt-up panels with a clear seal alternating with smooth concrete tilt-up panels painted a Lamswool color. The security manager's unit will have two bedrooms and contain approximately 1-,-300 square feet. The attached office will contain 200 square feet. The pUblic restrooms will be located adjacent to the security manager's unit. Two enclosed parking spaces for the security manager's unit will be located at the west end of Building "C", The buildings will have a minimum setback of 10'-0" from the front property line on Lower Azusa Road. ParkinS!. LandscaoinS! and Walls Entrance to the site will be from a 30' wide driveway located along Lower Azusa Road at the southwest portion of the site. There will also be two 20' wide emergency entrances from Lower Azusa Road along the northwest portion of the site. The driveway aisle widths vary from 20' (between Buildings C and D) to a maximum width of 30' (between buildings C, D and E and C, D and A). The City's Zoning Ordinance does not address parking requirements for self- storage buildings. Industrial uses require two parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. Based upon the industrial parking requirements, 126 parking spaces would be required for the proposed use. The applicant is C.U.P.85-23 January 14, 1986 Page 2 . requesting a modification for II parking spaces in lieu of 126 spaces required. These eleven parking spaces will be located outside the security gate, adjacent to the main entry, The subject site is proposed to be secured by a 6'-0" block wall with three strands of barb wire on top, for a total height of 6'-8". Landscaping will be provided along Lower Aiusa Road and areas adjacent to the southeasterly and northwesterly property lines. SPECI AL INFORMA nON In April, 1985, the Planning Commission granted a modification (M-85-28) for five parking spaces in lieu of 308 spaces required for a 153,775 square feet self -storage facility on the east side of Peck Road. At that time staff contacted nine municipalities which have self -storage facilities. These cities had facilities ranging from 70,000 to 180,000 SQ. ft. with a maximum-of 5 to II parking spaces. It was the opinion of each of these Cities that the parking was more than adequate for the facilities located within their cities. ,'. .. Sewer service to the site must be provided by the City of El Monte. The E1 Monte staff has advised us that they will not extend the sewer service to this property. CheSler Howard, Director of Public Works has advised us that for a self- storage complex with low sewage flow, a septic tank would be acceptable. However, said tank should be installed to allow for future hook-up to a sewer system at a later date. The property is serviced by the San Gabriel Valley Water Company. They have noted that "water mains can be extended to serve the property upon completion of appropriate arrangements for water service by the developer." ANALYSIS The M-2 zone requires that all uses and buildings must be approved by the Planning Commission through the conditional use permit procedure. This - C.U.P. 85-23 January 14, 1986 Page 3 . allows the City to review and control development and land uses within the M-2 zone. . ., - It is staff's opinion that this is an appropriate use for the subject site and less intense than the typical industrial development. Staff feels that the requested parking modification is appropriate for the type of use. . The operation of a self-storage facility does not need the amount of parking that other permitted uses in the industrial zone require. Typically, businesses in an industrial zone are engaged in processing, assembling, manufacturing and warehousing of products which requires parking for employees. The parking needs for a self -storage facility are limited to persons paying their monthly bills and persons making inquiries. Allloading and unloading of material is done at the storage unit. Staff is concerned with the appearance of 6'-8" high wall with barbed wire fencing. It is staff's opinion that a higher wall would be more desirable and appropriate than a wall with barbed wire and, therefore, would recommend that a wall not to exceed 10'-0" in height be allowed. If the Commission approves the 6'-8" high wall with barbed wire, staff would recommend that dense landscaping be provided in the areas adjacent to the wall to mitigate the appearance of the wall and barbed wire fencing. Said landscaping should be at a height which would screen the barbed wire on the wall. Also, in order to enhance the appearance of the site. staff would further recommend that the landscaped area along Lower Azusa Road adjacent to the buildings be bermed. . Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. C.U.P.85-23 January 14, 1986 Page 4 . RECOMMENDA nON The Planning Department recommends approval of c.U,P. 85-23 subject to the following conditions: I. Conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. ' 2.

The construction of a storage facility on the site will alter the absorption rates, drainage and surface water runoff. However, a grading and drainage plan must meet specific code requirements and be approved by the City's Public Works Department. 6a. Will the proposal result in increases in eIisting noise levels, During the construction phase of this project it is anticipated that the noise levels will increase due to construction of the project. However, because of the type of use, it is anticipated that there will not be a significant long-term increase in noise levels. 7. Light and Glare. The proposed project will produce new light in the area since.1he subject site is currently vacant. However, there should be a minimum impact on adjacent properties. The property to the north is a depleted gravel pit, property to the east is the San Gabriel River and property to the south is vacant property zoned M-Z. The impact of light and glare on these properties will be insignificant. 8. The proposed project is a substaotial alteration from the present vacant land use, However, the site is zoned M-2 which permits industrial uses with an approved conditional use permit and said use is consistent with the general plan designation of industrial. 13a. Transportaton and Circulation. Because the site is vacant any development of this property will result in a substantial increase in the traffic to the site. However, a pUblic storage facility is a less intensive use than a normal industrial development and generates much less traffic. 16d. The City of El Monte is the agency to provide sewer service to this site. However, El Monte has refused to eItend sewer service to this property, therefore, this property will be serviced by a septic tank. , , File No. cc//' .B.5' 2';J .r -;7/"#6'5-/C- ~.
