Directors question planned small office‑warehouse on Chico Road; item to be held separate
Summary
An applicant seeks to rezone a 0.33‑acre lot in Ward 2 from R‑2 to PDO for a small office‑warehouse and construction company use; neighborhood directors raised parking and backyard impact concerns and asked to hold the item separate for further review.
Directors reviewed a rezoning request (item 19) to convert a 0.33‑acre parcel from R‑2 to a planned development overlay (PDO) to allow a small office‑warehouse for a construction company in Ward 2.
Planning staff said the proposed facility would be a 50‑by‑30 foot building with six offices, one garage bay facing Chico Road and on‑site parking for employees and customers; the plan calls for a chain‑link fence and an 8‑foot privacy fence separating the commercial property from adjacent residences. Staff said hours of operation would be Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., and that the application drew no opposition at the planning commission.
Directors representing the neighborhood asked who received mailed notice (staff said all properties within 300 feet), how much equipment would be stored on site (staff said the site plan showed limited equipment space, mostly office use with parking for some company vehicles), and where employee vehicles would park (staff said on‑site). Several directors expressed concern about the cumulative effect of construction‑company parking in backyards in the southwest area and asked that the item be held separate for more review.
Ending: The board will consider the item individually rather than in a grouped consent package; staff and directors requested additional scrutiny of parking and neighborhood impacts before formal consideration.
