Planning commission approves special-use permit for 1,600‑sq.‑ft. metal garage at 33608 Colorado Street
Summary
The Yucaipa Planning Commission approved a special‑use permit for a 1,600‑square‑foot, 16.5‑foot‑tall enclosed metal garage behind a home at 33608 Colorado Street (case PLNPHE24008). Staff recommended a categorical CEQA exemption; there were no public comments.
The Yucaipa Planning Commission on Sept. 17 approved a special‑use permit to allow the construction of a 1,600‑square‑foot, 16.5‑foot‑tall enclosed metal garage behind an existing residence at 33608 Colorado Street (case PLNPHE24008).
Planning staff presented the proposal and recommended adoption of the special‑use permit findings and a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. Katie Sim, planning staff, said the structure would be placed on the northwestern portion of the 0.51‑acre parcel, would be enclosed on all four sides, feature tan painted vertical ribbed steel panels with white trim and a gable roof, and have a peak height of about 16.5 feet. Sim said the property currently has a one‑story residence with 1,428 square feet of living area and 474 square feet of non‑habitable space, and that two existing storage structures on the lot would be demolished as part of the project.
Sim said the proposed garage would meet the single‑family residential development standards and required setbacks: she noted the structure would be about 95 feet from the north rear property line and more than 100 feet from the front (south) property line. Sim said notices were sent to surrounding property owners and that staff received no comments.
There were no public commenters during the hearing. Commissioner McHouston raised a clarification about lot size, saying, "On the presentation, I think you said the lot was 0.15. It's actually 0.51. Just so it's in the record correctly." The commission closed the public hearing and moved to vote.
The commission approved the special‑use permit for case PLNPHE24008. The motion carried with all voting commissioners recorded in favor.
The project record includes the case file number PLNPHE24008 and staff’s recommendation to file a notice of exemption under CEQA. The applicant, Ken Munoz, was not present at the hearing.
The commission adjourned after a brief round of announcements from the director of community development.
The planning commission’s action is administrative design review and a discretionary land‑use approval; further building permits and inspections will be required before construction can begin.
