Planning commission recommends approval of contractor storage yard at 319 U.S. Highway 80
Summary
The Sunnyvale Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Case 1830, a contractor storage yard at 319 U.S. Highway 80, after discussing dust-control measures and seasonal watering coordination with the applicant.
The Sunnyvale Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Case 1830, a proposed contractor storage yard at 319 U.S. Highway 80.
Commissioners discussed dust control from the site’s surface material — described in the meeting as a caliche-style rock — and asked staff to coordinate with the applicant on a feasible, seasonally adjusted watering schedule to limit dust blowing onto adjoining properties. “In the summer…you'd have to water it two times a day,” a town staff member said during the discussion. The commission did not set a fixed watering frequency; staff said they would coordinate with the applicant and recommend a schedule based on seasonal variations.
The recommendation motion was made by Commissioner Burton and seconded by Commissioner Points. The roll call vote was 6-0 in favor of recommending the case to the Town Council (or approving body as applicable).
Commissioners praised staff for providing detailed information that helped clarify how dust control could be achieved. No formal amendments to the application were recorded in the transcript. The action recorded in the meeting minutes is a recommendation of approval for Case 1830, 319 U.S. Highway 80, Contractor Storage Yard, with staff to work with the applicant on dust-control measures.
The commission’s approval is a recommendation at the Planning and Zoning Commission level; any final permit or zoning decision will be made by the town’s decision-making body as required by local procedure.
