Paramount planning commission approves Master Rooter & Plumbing permit and companion warehouse at 7757 Jackson Street
Summary
The Paramount Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a conditional use permit for Master Rooter & Plumbing to operate a plumbing and sewer service at 7757 Jackson Street and a companion two‑story 19,449 sq ft warehouse, subject to standard site and conditional‑use requirements.
The Paramount Planning Commission on July 1 voted 4‑0 to adopt Planning Commission Resolution PC26020, approving a conditional use permit that allows Master Rooter & Plumbing, Inc. to operate a plumbing and sewer service from 7757 Jackson Street and to construct a two‑story, 19,449‑square‑foot warehouse building on a 20,000‑square‑foot lot.
Assistant Director Monica Rodriguez presented the project and said the company employs eight people — seven field technicians and one office employee — and that proposed business hours will be Monday through Friday from about 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. “All fleet vehicles and equipment will be stored inside the warehouse at the end of each shift,” Rodriguez said. Staff told commissioners the project was found to be a Class 3 categorical exemption under Article 19, Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and recommended approval with standard conditions.
The site plan includes 28 parking spaces (22 standard, five compact and one ADA), landscaping covering roughly 2,307 square feet, and internal circulation configured so the facility does not provide public access to the warehouse. Rodriguez also corrected a square‑footage error in the staff report and confirmed the final building area is 19,449 square feet, split between first and second floors.
Commissioners asked whether the business would operate 24 hours; Rodriguez said it would not and that workers would leave the site at the end of typical shifts and return to park and store vehicles. The public hearing generated no in‑person testimony.
The commission made the motion to adopt Resolution PC26020 and approved the permit on a unanimous roll‑call vote. The approval is subject to the conditions of approval contained in the resolution, including standard site and code compliance items noted by staff. The commission also approved a related design review for the two‑story warehouse tied to application 26006.
Next steps: with the planning commission’s approval, the applicant will proceed to building and safety plan check and any required construction permits; staff will monitor compliance with the conditions of approval.
