Due to the minor changes, which consist of the elimination of the 800 square foot maintenance building from the original scope of work, the same conditions for SPR 19-0307 were applied to the subject Site Plan Review. Therefore, the Site Plan Review Committee has reviewed the final plans for the construction of a 6,970 square foot paint booth/maintenance building at an existing bus facility in a M-1 (Light Manufacturing Zone) district located at 1830 Golden State Avenue. Before a permit can be issued, the Site Plan Review Committee must approve these final plans to ensure that the project substantially conforms to the original approved site plan and that all conditions have been satisfied Enclosed are the conditions that have not been addressed. You must contact each staff representative (identified below), work with them on the changes necessary to address their issue, and make sure all building plan set pages have been replaced to reflect the corrections. Revised plans are not rerouted to Planning staff so do not assume a letter or note(s) on the plan will suffice, you must personally follow up with each staff representative.

REVISIONS TO THE APPROVED PLAN Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires, you may submit revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition, mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints (See Section 17.08.080.c.3 of the Zoning Ordinance).

The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date for the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone. The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and include a written request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration of the project approval. We will not require a fee for this extension request; however, changes to the plans originally approved for purposes other than code requirements shall be subject to a new site plan review, including payment of all required fees (See Section 17.08.080.D of the Zoning Ordinance).
