Body
I. SUMMARY
On May 2, 2017, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 17-1618U, extending for 10 months and 15 days a moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of truck yards, logistics facilities, hazardous materials or waste facilities, container storage, and container parking (Exhibit No. 1). Section 6 of this Ordinance allows the City Council to make exceptions to the application of this Ordinance. On May 31, 2017, Mr. Lance Ryan, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer representing Watson Land Company, filed a request for an exception to the Ordinance to allow filing and processing of all the necessary applications and/or permits to allow construction of a 156,560 square-foot logistics facility with 47 dock doors (Exhibit No. 2). "Logistics Facility" is defined in Section 2, subsection M, of the Ordinance.
If the City Council determines to allow an exception pursuant to Section 6, such applications and/or permits may continue to be processed in accordance with the City's regulations and authority, and any other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. The exception does not mean final approval of the project. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 17-096 approving Watson Land Company's request (Exhibit No. 3).
