Summary
A parking-lot site plan on Blackstone Avenue was approved subject to staff conditions requiring elimination of problematic parallel spaces, adjustment of front-setback hard surfacing (variance), corrected parking dimensions, and landscape and trash-enclosure improvements.
The Planning Commission approved a conditioned site plan for a small processing facility and associated parking at 23747 Blackstone Avenue (PSP 250048). The petitioner described a processing and packaging operation under 3,000 square feet with an expected 2–3 employees; the goal is to correct parking and landscaping to meet city requirements.
Planning staff highlighted multiple layout issues: parallel spaces shown at 10 feet in width must be 12 feet; maneuvering lanes must meet a 20-foot requirement for two-way circulation (or 15 feet for a one-way lane); three angled spaces in the rear would not be permitted as shown because the maneuvering aisle would be too narrow; and a proposed parking space in the front-setback area must be removed or a variance obtained. Staff also suggested increasing the performance-bond estimate to reflect required improvements. The petitioner agreed to remove the problematic parking areas and avoid on-site dumpster service if feasible.
Commissioners then approved the site plan with the standard conditions and the required plan revisions. The petitioner will submit revised plans and adjust the front-yard hard surfacing or obtain the necessary variance.
