MEMORANDUM 111f
TO: The Honorable City Council r() L�
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE: May 15, 1992 (for City Council Meeting of May 20, 1992)
SUBJECT: DP-304, Minor Modification No. 1 (G.T. Water Products,
Inc. and Mark Distributors)
On May 6, 1992, the City Council considered a request by staff to
collect 75% of the initial deposit, or $282 .60, for planning staff
costs incurred above the initial deposit of $376. 80. The Council
directed staff to return to Council on May 20, 1992 with an
itemization of time spent, and why staff's time had exceeded the
amount of the initial deposit. As of April 30, 1992, staff's time
had totalled $1,011.75. Staff's time in excess of the initial
deposit totalled $634 .95 and was due to staff coordination and
research with the Air Pollution Control District, Fire Department,
and Department of Building and Safety. However, it is staff's
recommendation to not collect the full amount of money due ($634 .95
+ staff time since April 30, 1992) , but to collect 75% of the
initial deposit, or $282 . 60.
Discussion:
On May 6, 1992, the Council approved a request by G.T. Water
Products and Mark Distributors, Inc . to allow the continued
operation of a combined elementary school and secondary school for
employee's children located at 5239 N. Commerce Avenue; the subject
site is zoned M-2, Limited Industrial . At the time that the school
was started, the Zoning Code did not allow a school in the M-2
Zone. On September 5, 1990, the City Council initiated an amendment
to the Zoning Code to allow the operation of schools and day care
facilities in both industrial and commercial zones with approval of
a Modification to a Planned Development Permit. The Zoning Code
amendment was initiated to address the existing G.T. Water Products
and Mark Distributors Incorporated school and future similar
operations. The Minor Modification request could not be considered
by the City until the company had received permit approvals from
the following agencies.

Air Pollution Control District (APCD) :
In 1987 , AB 3205 was initiated which prohibited, "a city or county,
after July 1, 1989, from permitting a facility to be constructed
within 1,000 feet of a school without first requiring a risk
management and prevention plan and additional information" . Within
the City's M-2 (Limited Industrial) zone, industrial and quasi-
industrial activities are permitted which may warrant the
preparation of a risk management and prevention plan. As the school
was located in the M-2 zone, in order to achieve compliance with AB
3205, staff requested that the APCD survey all businesses located
within a 1,000 foot radius of the school facility to monitor air
emission levels within the area and to see if those businesses
produced or emitted any hazardous materials or bi-products . A
survey was conducted resulting in discovery of one business that
required APCD permit. The survey did not prevent the school from
going in.
Fire Department:
Fire Department approvals were needed for installation of a one-
hour fire wall, fire dampers, smoke detectors, fire alarm system,
and venting system. The process of achieving compliance with Fire
Department requirements took one year. Staff periodically checked
with both the applicant and the Fire Department to see if the Fire
Department's concerns had been satisfied.
Building and Safety:
The applicant had to receive Fire Department approval prior to
receiving Department of Building and Safety permits. The Department
of Building and Safety identified that the applicant needed to
remedy the following defects in order to receive permit approval:
Provide a one-hour wall and ceiling separation between the school
and warehouse; all openings had to be retrofited to be protected by
a fire assembly; provide a fire alarm system; provide fire dampers
at duct penetrations of occupancy walls/ceilings . Staff was in
contact with the Department of Building and Safety to determine if
the applicant had achieved compliance with the Department of
Building and Safety's requirements . The total costs for Building
and Safety permits totalled $75.60 .
