Title

North Coast Partners, Inc. Minor Subdivision

Description

The project includes a minor subdivision to create two (2) parcels of 24,386sf. and 7,162sf. Each proposed parcel is currently developed with commercial operations, both of which are conditionally permitted in the Commercial General (CG) zoning district. Proposed parcel 1 is developed with an approx. 6,161sf. commercial structure occupied by Design Air Heating and Sheet Metal. Proposed parcel 2 is developed with an approx. 2,641sf. commercial structure occupied by the Crystal Springs Bottled Water Company, a pre-manufactured office and an approx. 350ft. deep artesian well and well house. Both commercial structures were constructed in 1961, prior to building permit or setback requirements. The office was permitted in 1988 and the bottling company was permitted in 1993. A variance is requested to allow for an exception to the rear yard setback for proposed parcel 2. The existing structure on proposed parcel 2 was constructed with a zero side yard setback in 1961. The parcel reconfiguration proposed with this subdivision will change the existing side yard to the rear yard where a 15ft. rear yard setback is required. The existing structure on proposed parcel 1 was also constructed with a zero side yard setback, a portion of which is adjacent to a residentially zoned trailer park. The portion of the side yard shared with the residentially zoned parcel requires a 20ft. setback by today's standards. The proposed subdivision will not increase the existing legal nonconformity to this requirement. The Special Permit is requested to waive the requirement of a loading space, per 313-109.1.5.2 of the Humboldt Co. Code on proposed parcel 2. Although there are no wetlands on the site, wetlands are present across Eich Rd. to the south and on an adjacent parcel fronting S. Broadway to the northeast. The project has been conditioned to require the construction of a storm water filtration system. Curb, gutter and sidewalk have already been developed along the frontage of the parcel in anticipation of this project. No trees are proposed to be removed for this project. No new development is proposed.
