Durable Goods Rental Use & Warehouse Building, Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development Permit, Case No. PL24-0021

The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approved for a 30 year term for the Rental and Leasing of Durable Goods and a Planned Development (PD) Permit is approved for Warehousing and Storage on an undeveloped, 2.25 acre portion of APN 090-0-110-300. The sales of durable goods are allowed as an accessory use to the principal use of renting and leasing durable goods (primarily scaffolding and construction equipment). The PD Permit authorizes the construction and use of a new building for the rental, leasing, and sales of durable goods and for warehousing and storage. The project includes the following components: 1) Construction of an approximately 16,938 sq. ft. (gross floor area) warehouse building with storage area, offices, conference room, restroom facilities, and mezzanine storage; 2) Construction of an approximately 267 sq. ft. trash enclosure; 3) Construction of a new 8-foot-tall masonry screening wall with entrance gate; 4) Construction of a segment of County Drive in accordance with County Road Plate B-3S[C]; 5) Proposed establishment of an approximately 33,870 sq. ft. outdoor storage, sales, and display area sited to the rear of the proposed warehouse. Items stored in the outdoor storage, sales, and display area shall not exceed 15 feet in height; 6) Installation of landscaping, parking areas, and other improvements as detailed on the proposed site plans and in the final conditions of approval for the project; and, 7) Installation of security measures (video surveillance and lighting). The proposed standing, pole-mounted lighting fixtures will be 30 feet tall (maximum), and all lighting must comply with the Ventura County Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance (NCZO) lighting standards. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The facility will be closed on Sunday. The following additional operational details are proposed: • 25 new employees. A maximum of 20 employees will work for/in the warehousing and the remaining five employees would work in the office for rental/leasing/sales of durable goods use. • 20 customer trips per day • 40 truck trips per day The existing masonry wall along the western/northwestern property line that will remain and reduce truck noise generated by the proposed project is nine and one-half feet tall as measured from the grade of the project site and is eight feet tall as measured from the neighboring property which is at a higher grade. A maximum of three trucks running simultaneously between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on or adjacent to the project site are allowed. Additionally, project-related truck travel is limited to County Drive to/from Los Angeles Avenue/SR 118. To avoid truck travel through the nearby residential area, truck travel into or west of the intersection of Amapola Avenue and Rosal Lane is prohibited. To identify and protect potential cultural resources, the applicant will retain a cultural monitor to monitor the following specific development activities during the construction phase of the proposed project: • For all development between 0 – 3 inches in depth, no monitoring will be provided. • For all development between 3 inches and 18 inches in depth, the applicant will notify the cultural monitor at least 24 hours before work begins and will invite the monitor to observe the development work on-site. The monitor will be able to determine if continued monitoring will be provided for the duration of work between 18 inches and 36 inches in depth. • For all development below 3 feet in depth, the applicant will hire a cultural monitor to determine whether sensitive Native soils would be impacted. If any cultural resources are uncovered during ground disturbance or construction activities, the cultural monitor and any construction-related personnel must stop work and comply with the Archaeological Resources Discovered During Grading condition. Ventura Water currently provides water to the project site. The applicant will implement reasonable water conservation measures including, but not limited to, low flow fixtures and equipment to minimize the proposed project's water demand. Saticoy Sanitary District currently provides sewage disposal service. For any required new water and sewage disposal services, the proposed project is conditioned to obtain the appropriate approvals from Ventura Water and the Saticoy Sanitary District. A paved driveway from the project site to County Drive will provide access to the project site.
