Los Angeles Avenue (APN 513 -0- 010 -210) Background Development Plan No. 318 Major Modification No. 1 was approved by the City Council on February 3, 1993 for construction of a 91,549 square foot industrial building. This building is located adjacent to Development Plan 318, a 130,288 sq.ft. industrial building which was approved on November 4,1985. Both buildings are occupied by Kavlico. The project site is located in the Redevelopment Project Area.

Page 2 Project Description This Minor Modification request is for the construction of a canopy in the rear of the building which will be used to protect products being delivered to Kavlico from rain and sun. Discussion Construction. The canopy will be 2,758 sq.ft. in size, measuring 25' x 1101411, height of 171611, constructed of metal with four columns and a corrugated roof, and be painted to match the existing building. A portion of the canopy, as well as the parking lot, extends into an easement for a below grade flood control channel. On September 8, 1997, the County of Ventura Flood Control District granted permission for construction of the canopy above the flood control easement. Parking. This building requires the provision of 259 parking spaces (including handicapped ) . At present, 261 spaces are provided on site, including 10 motorcycle spaces. Motorcycle spaces may substitute for required parking spaces at a rate of two motorcycle spaces for one regular space, reducing the number of required spaces from 259 to 254. Construction of the canopy and the attendant storage location will result in the elimination of 14 parking spaces, reducing the spaces provided on site from 261 to 247, seven spaces below the minimum required. Staff will require that the site plan be revised to provide seven additional parking spaces prior to approval of a Zone Clearance for construction of the canopy. These seven parking spaces must be built prior to completion of the canopy. The delivery of products into the building will be through the two existing 12' wide truck loading doors in the rear of the building. Parking of the trucks and the unloaded products will occur in the existing parking spaces and aisles, eliminating their use. Building Modifications. No modifications are proposed to* the exterior of the building, besides the canopy. DP318 #1.SR VvVv�4J DP 318 Minor Mod 1 to Maj Mod 1 Kavlico Corp. Page 3 Circulation. Construction of the canopy will affect the circulation pattern on the site by providing an additional loading site behind the building in addition to the existing truck loading docks. This new site adjacent to the building will eliminate parking spaces and the driving aisles. Ingress and egress of trucks to the proposed site would not be hindered by the site configuration. The frequency of deliveries will not be affected. Noise. Most industrial developments receive deliveries by truck as an approved accessory use, not as a principal use itself. This Minor Modification will not result in an increase the noise levels on either the subject or adjacent properties through an increase in traffic due to deliveries (which are already occurring on the site) . Landscaping. Additional landscaping will be required to screen the loading area as described in the next paragraph. Visibility. The canopy would be screened on the west side by a hill, from Los Angeles Avenue on the east side by the two Kavlico buildings and on the south due to the distance to Los Angeles Avenue (7201) and elevation differences. The canopy would be visible from freeway on the north side. Staff will require the addition of landscaping to screen the loading zone adjacent to and under the canopy, consisting of a hedge of large shrubs (six to eight feet in height) and additional trees in the planter adjacent to the north side of the canopy and loading area (which separates the two buildings). Items being unloaded will not be left outside on a permanent basis. In addition, Condition No. 23 of Resolution 93 -914 (which approved the building) prohibits outside storage without screening and Condition 63 prohibits the outside storage of materials. Applicant has submitted a letter stating that the canopy will not be used for outside storage. Staff recommends approval of this Minor Modification application with the Findings and conditions in the attached Resolution. DP318#1.SR ~80 DP 318 Minor Mod 1 to Maj Mod 1 Kavlico Corp.
