ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Partnap Singh, is requesting that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 25-0021, for the establishment of a truck tire repair use, and approve Administrative Site Plan No. 25-0031, for site and architectural review for the truck tire repair building, and associated site improvements, on approximately 1.0 acres.
Conditional Use Permit No. 25-0021
The Applicant is requesting approval to establish a truck tire repair facility within a new approximately 3,431-square-foot building with two service bays, located within the Southwest Industrial Park (SWIP) Specific Plan/Freeway Industrial/Commercial District (FID). Truck tire repair (Industrial Repair) is permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The CUP is required because some aspects of the use can impact the surrounding area, including but not limited to operational activities such as servicing heavy-duty vehicles, truck circulation, equipment use, and tire storage. Conditions of approval have been added to ensure all repair activities occur within an enclosed building and to minimize potential noise, visual, and operational impacts on surrounding properties. The proposed use will support existing trucking and logistics businesses in the southern portion of Fontana by providing needed repair services. Additionally, the project is consistent with the City’s General Plan goals to promote job-producing industrial uses and economic growth near regional transportation corridors. The proposed use complies with applicable development standards of the Specific Plan and the City’s Development Code.
Administrative Site Plan No. 25-0031
The Project seeks site and architectural approval for the development of a new truck tire repair facility consisting of two service bays of approximately 2,705 square feet and approximately 725 square feet of office space, for a total building area of approximately 3,431 square feet. The Project includes on- and off-site improvements such as new driveways, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, parking areas, landscaping, site lighting, and utility infrastructure necessary to support the proposed use.
The architectural elements of the new building will feature a smooth stucco exterior with stone veneer accents, and a light neutral tan tone color palette with dark brown accents. The architectural features include metal doors, glazed aluminum storefront windows, and exterior lighting. The variations to the building face, varying roof lines will make the project architecturally pleasing and be consistent with the surrounding area.
The project also includes ten (10) 12’ x 70’ spaces for oversized vehicles. Conditions of approval have been prepared to specify that truck parking is an ancillary use to truck tire repair and these vehicles are only stored during the duration of the time that they are being serviced. Additionally, the site shall not be used for long term truck parking.
The proposed development is designed to be compatible with surrounding industrial uses. The Project Site is physically suitable in size and configuration to accommodate the proposed development. The Project will comply with all applicable building, zoning, and fire codes and standards, ensuring a safe, functional, and well-designed facility. Additionally, the site layout incorporates appropriate safety measures for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Grading/Walls:
The topography of the Project Site is relatively flat. The existing drainage pattern flows from the north to the south. An underground water chamber system will be constructed for the Project. The project will include a six (6) foot-high boundary wall along the west, south, and east sides of the property, and a new six (6) foot-high automated openable aluminum gate facing Boyle Avenue.
Site Access/Circulation/Parking:
Vehicle and truck access to the Project Site will be provided by a driveway along Boyle Avenue. The internal circulation has been reviewed by the Planning, Fire, Traffic, and Engineering Departments and found to be sufficient to support this type of use.
Environmental:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Section No. 3.22 (Categorical Exemption) of the City of Fontana’s 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA, the proposed Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section No. 15332 as a Class 32, Infill Development Project. The project site is considered Infill Development and meets the CEQA requirements of Infill: (1) The Project is consistent with the Light Industrial (I-L) designation of the General Plan and the Southwest Industrial Park Specific Plan (SWIP)/Freeway Industrial Commercial District (FID) District regulations; (2) The Project Site is less than five (5) acres; (3) The Project Site is not within any known sensitive or threatened habitat area; (4) The Project will not have any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (5) There are adequate public services for the development of the proposed residential project. Further, none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to the Project.
