October 5, 1971 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION C.U.P. 71-18 NORTHWEST CORNER OF LIVE OAK AND SECOND APPLICATION This application was filed on September 22, 1971, by Shell Oil Company for property at l7l East Live Oak and proposes to remodel the exterior of an existing service station. PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING Subject property is developed with a service station (three bays) and zoned C-2 & D and PR-3. Property to the north is zoned R-2 and R-l and developed with single family dwellings and duplexes; to the south, property is zoned C-2 and developed with commercial buildings, market and service stations; to the east, property is zoned C-l, R-3 and R-2 and developed with a service station, vacant eating establishment and apartments; to the west property is zoned C-2 & D, C-l & D and R-3 and developed with a donut shop, nursery, minature golf and professional offices. (See attached Land Use and Zoning Map.) PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS Subject property contains approximately contains approximately at all four corners of Oak Avenues. I vi V~~C\ . . . C.U.P. 7l-l8 2 City Council on December 21, 1965 and April 19, 1966, permitted a third bay to be built, waived some of the land- scaping requirements and permitted the roof signs to remain, placed a five-year period of abatement on the rotating free standing sign and permitted certain display racks at the pump islands. Code requires (1) a five foot wide raised planter along the street side except for driveway openings, (2) a three foot wide raised planter along the walls of the interior property line to a distance equal to the front building line, (3) 150 square feet of raised planting at the intersection of Second and Live Oak Avenues, and (4) 30 square feet of raised planting area along building facades fronting on the street. . The existing service station is totally lacking or deficient in all four items. Due to the pump islands being located ten (10) feet from the property line, requiring . landscaping would present a hardship in that the gas island would have to be relocated or that lane closed off completely. There is existing landscaping along the interior property line which complies with the Code. However, the landscaping at the intersection of Second and Live Oak Avenues is below the 150 square foot required by the Code. In addition, the accessway from the service station directly to the alley could present a potential traffic hazard both to the operation of the station and the welfare of the general public. Staff feels that additional landscaping in conjunction with a total remodeling of the station would be most desirable. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Department recommends that application C.U.P. 71.,.18 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. All conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be com- plied with to the satisfac,tion 'of the Director of Public Works. . 2. The Planning Department recommends that additional landscaping shall be provided in the following areas: ~a. ~ . . . C,U.P. 71-18 3 b.

C.U.P. 71-18 SHELL SERVICE STATION 171 EAST LIVE OAK . The revised plot plan submitted by Shell Oil Company indicates the pump islands will be relocated in order to provide a five (5) foot wide planter between driveways in compliance with Code, on Live Oak Avenue and Second Avenue. Due to the relocation of the pump iSlands, new driveway approaches will be constructed and for this reason staff would recommend that condition number 2A of ,the original conditions be waived. In. addition, the new plot plan does not indicate the 30 square feet of planter area adjacent to the building facade fronting on both streets, as per code, nor the re- quired three (3) foot wide planter along the northerly property line for a distance equal to the service station building line, conditions number 2B and C. Shell Oil Company has also submitted a landscape plan. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ~/~ RON CONTRERAS ASSOCIATE PLANNER RC:db Attachment .
