CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 17-125, AN EXCEPTION TO THE APPLICATION OF INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 17-1618U TO ALLOW FILING OF PLANS AND PERMITS NECESSARY TO OPERATE A CONTAINER YARD LOCATED AT 24690 SOUTH WILMINGTON AVENUE (CITY COUNCIL)
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 grant exceptions.
On July 24, 2017 and August 7, 2017, Mr. Andrew W. Zepeda of Lurie, Zepeda, Schmalz, Hogan & Martin representing Harbor Land Company, filed a request for an acknowledgment of an exemption or, in the alternative, for the grant of an exception to allow continuation of the existing logistics facility with a new leaseholder. More specifically, J.B. Hunt Transport will be the operator of the container storage yard on the 6.7 acre property. (Exhibit No. 2). "Logistics Facility" is defined in Section 2, subsection M, of the Ordinance. Container storage yards are a permitted use by right in the Manufacturing Heavy zone as long as they are not within 1000' of residential areas.
If the City Council grants an exception, pursuant to Section 6, such the applications and/or permits may be filed and processed in accordance with the City's regulations and authority, and any other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. The grant of the exception is not the final approval of the project. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 17-125 approving Harbor Land Company's request (Exhibit No. 3).
