DATE: December 20, 2018
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Pamela Wu, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: CUP 18-04, Specialty Truck Part sales and repair operation,
located at 7700 Arroyo Circle
1) Request: Conditional Use Permit request CUP 18-04, to allow Specialty Truck
Parts, Inc. to utilize the existing 30,700 square foot building on 7700 Arroyo Circle
(APN: 841-69-023) for repair services within the M2 zoning district. Uses within the
building would include truck sales, truck part sales and truck repair and
customization. The truck sales and truck parts sales are permitted uses within the
M2 district, whereas the truck repair and truck part customization are subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission (i.e., Truck
Service). Proposed operational hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.
No exterior changes are proposed to the existing building, except for new signage.
2) Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses: The existing building was
previously occupied by RAP4, a paintball and airsoft combat -gaming facility.
Existing onsite improvements include a 30,700 square foot (s.f.) building and 162
parking spaces. There are two (2) existing driveways connecting onto Arroyo
Circle. Surrounding uses include industrial offices and agricultural open fields.

3) Environmental Assessment: Section 15301 of the California Environmental
Kristi A. Abrams
DIRECTOR
5.1
Packet Pg. 8
2
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, exempts the proposed project from further
environmental review, so long the project involves utilizing the existing facility with
minimal interior or exterior alterations. Specialty Truck Parts, Inc. proposes to
utilize the existing RAP4 building with minimal building and onsite improvements.
No exterior building modifications are proposed. Two rolling gates with an
independent parts-wash unit would be installed. Filing of a Notice of Exemption
(NOE) is not mandated, however, it would reduce the statute of limitations for legal
challenges under CEQA, from 180 days to 35 days. No further assessment is
necessary for this proposal.
4) Background Information: The applicant currently operates in south San Jose,
and is proposing to relocate their entire operations to the project site. The subject
building would meet the company’s current and possible future expansion needs.
An application for Architectural and Site Review AS18-23 was approved by staff on
October 24, 2018 to allow site improvements including installation of two (2) 16 foot
wide security gates, a new six foot fence, and modification to remove 76 parking
spaces in order to accommodate storage and outdoor display on the side and rear
of the building, a new wash area and storage in the rear parking area. The project
site is located on the east side of Arroyo Circle, along Hwy 101.
5) General Plan Consistency: The City's General Plan designates the subject site
for General Industry uses, which supports the proposed project request.
Establishments located in these areas characteristically require large parcels of
land with good truck and/or rail access, such as large -scale manufacturing,
assembly, storage, distribution, and wholesaling uses. As such, the proposal
conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan. Key goals and policies,
which pertain to the project are discussed below:
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
Guiding
Principle
Promote Jobs and
Business Development.
The General Plan promotes
a strong local economy by
supporting the growth and
expansion of existing local
businesses
Specialty Truck Parts currently
operates in the south San Jose area.
Approval of the conditional use
permit would support the growth of a
new local business in conformance
with this guiding principle.
Policy
1.01
Pattern of Development.
Ensure an orderly,
contiguous pattern of
development that prioritizes
infill development and avoids
land use incompatibilities.
The proposed use will be located
within an existing building and will be
an efficient use of an existing
structure, as the space was
previously renovated for a paintball
and airsoft combat-gaming facility.
The proposed truck, part sales and
repair operation would be compatible
with the surrounding industrial uses.
5.1
Packet Pg. 9
3
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
The proposal conforms to this policy.
Policy
1.03
Uses East of Highway 101.
Restrict land east of
Highway 101 to industrial
and agricultural uses, except
for commercial
developments that draw a
clear majority of customers
from outside of Gilroy.
The proposed use is located east of
Hwy 101, near the Leavesley Road
exit, where it is intended to draw
customers from outside the Gilroy
municipal limits. The proposal
conforms to this policy.
Policy
2.01
Location of Growth.
Maximize existing
infrastructure and service
investments by directing new
growth to vacant and under-
utilized lands within the
Urban Service Area
The proposed truck, part sales and
repair operation will be
accommodated inside an existing
building in an area where
infrastructure and utilities have
already been constructed. The
proposal conforms to this policy.
Policy
3.01
Jobs and Revenues.
Support the development,
retention, and expansion of
small and medium size
businesses.
The proposed use is a new business
in Gilroy that would potentially
provide additional jobs and revenues
for the city. Approval of the
Conditional Use Permit would
support this policy.
Policy
3.02
Economic Development
Activities. Encourage new
businesses to locate in
Gilroy and to retain existing
businesses.
The applicant proposes to move the
current business from San Jose to
Gilroy. Approval of the Conditional
Use Permit would encourage other
new businesses to locate in Gilroy
and is in conformance with this
policy.
Policy
3.04
Industrial Growth.
Encourage new industrial
uses to locate in Gilroy that
can provide jobs for Gilroy
residents.
The proposed uses include truck
repair and truck part customization
which is a light industrial use.
Approval of the Conditional Use
Permit would encourage other new
industrial uses in the General
Industry District and provide
additional jobs for the Gilroy
community. The proposed
development supports this policy.
5.1
Packet Pg. 10

POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
Policy
3.09
Landscaping in Industrial
Areas. Require the
screening of loading areas
and open storage areas so
that they are not visible from
major roads. Also, require
landscape buffering where
industrial uses abut
designated scenic highway
corridors.
There is adequate existing
landscaping along the perimeter.
The applicant is required to maintain
and to ensure that none of the open
storage area can be visible from any
major roadway. Also, the property is
adjacent to Hwy 101, a State-
designated scenic highway. The
existing rows of trees along Arroyo
Circle provide an ample visual buffer
from the current site.
6) Conformance with Zoning Code Development Standards: The project is
located in the General Industrial District, M2 zone district. In accordance with the
Gilroy City Code (GCC), truck and truck parts sales use is permitted whereas truck
repair and truck parts customization is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. The existing building, including modifications to accommodate the new
use, comply with all applicable development standards as stipulated in GCC
Section 30.23.20.
The front of the building, facing Arroyo Circle, would include approximately 1,900
s.f. of sales floor and 5,400 s.f. of administrative offices. The rear of the building
would consist of 3,000 s.f. of general shop area and 9,900 s.f. of truck service
area. There would be another small 800 s.f., office area to serve the truck and
parts repair operation in the rear of the building.
The proposed use will operate during regular daytime business hours, currently
five days a week, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. There would be 30
employees and up to 10 visitors anticipated per day.
There are currently 162 parking spaces provided onsite. A total of 85 parking
spaces are required for the proposed operation based on the following calculation:
Indoor retail sales of truck parts: 4 spaces
(1 stall / 600 s.f.)
Outdoor retail sales of truck or large vehicle: 1 space
(1 stall / 4,000 s.f.)
Vehicle repair: 50 + 30 employees = 80 spaces
(1 stall / 400 s.f. + 1 stall / employee)
The project will convert 76 existing parking spaces for outdoor storage, truck
display and to install a part-wash unit. A total of 86 parking spaces would remain
5.1
Packet Pg. 11
5
to provide sufficient parking to support the proposed truck sales and service
operation, which required 85 onsite parking spaces.
Conditional Use Permit
As noted above, the project requires Planning Commission of a conditional use
permit to allow the truck repair and modification on -site in the M2 District, which
would be associated with the permitted truck sales, truck parts and outdoor storage
activities. Staff has reviewed the request pursuant to the requirements of Gilroy
City Code Section 30.50.30, and determined that the findings for approval of
CUP18-04 can be supported as noted below.
7) FINDINGS: In accordance with GCC Section 30.50.30(b), two required findings
must be satisfied for consideration of a conditional use permit request. Staff has
evaluated each required finding, as follows:
(1) That the proposed use is properly located in relation to the general plan and to
the community as a whole and to other land uses and to transportation and service
facilities in the vicinity.
Staff Findings of Consistency: The proposed truck sales and repair operation
would be located within an industrial office building in an area intended for
industrial uses. Surrounding land uses consist primarily of other industrial offices
and agricultural open fields. The proposed use would be compatible with the
surrounding uses. Additionally, this site has adequate access to roadways and
existing city services. This project is consistent with this standard.
(2) That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions upon which approval is
made contingent, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity, or cause
any damage, hazard, or nuisance to persons or property.
Staff Findings of Consistency: It is not anticipated that the new operation will have
any negative impact on other properties in the vicinity, or cause any damage,
hazard or nuisance to persons or property, as the previous use has not caused any
negative impact to the neighborhood. This project is consistent with this standard.
In addition, the building was previously reviewed and determined to conform to the
City Council adopted Industrial Design Guidelines. The current site is not subject
to the Leavesley Road policy as it is more than 1000-ft away from Leavesley Road.
As such, staff recommends the Planning Commission to approve the project with
the recommended conditions included in Attachment A of this staff report.
8) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC): Project plans were routed to Engineering,
Building, Police, and Fire representatives for internal review and comment. The
TAC considered the project on October 11, 2018. Recommendations of the TAC
members have been incorporated into the project plans and/or are included as
recommended conditions in attached resolution.
9) Bicycle Pedestrian Committee (BPC): The proposed project would not impose
5.1
Packet Pg. 12
6
any impact to the existing pedestrian / bike / trail system. Therefore, the Traffic
Engineer determined that review by the Bicycle Pedestrian Committee is not
necessary.
10) Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD): The proposed project does not include
any residential uses, and, therefore, would not result in any impact to the Gilroy
Unified School District.
11) Noticing: Property owner information (i.e. list, labels, and map) within 500 feet of
the subject site were generated by First American Title Company using current
ownership data. On November 14, 2018, notices of this Planning Commission
meeting were mailed to the property owners along within other interested parties.
In addition, the property has been posted with on -site signage notifying passers-by
of pending development, and the Planning Commission public hearing packets are
available through the City's webpage.
12) Appeal Procedure: In accordance with Section 30.51.50 of the Gilroy City Code,
the Planning Commission's decision may be appealed, in writing, to the City
Council within 20 days of adoption of the resolution. Appeal forms may be obtained
from the City Clerk and must be submitted with the appropriate fee before the end
of the appeal period.
