CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the City Council Meeti-ng of April 20, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and City girricil APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Mana FROM: Robb Steel, Redevelopment Directorft-?5/ SUBJECT: Consideration and Approval of granting an exemption to West Valley Specific Plan non -conforming use provision 310 Rexford DATE: April 12, 1999 Background: Mr. Art Paige, owner of Transport Components, is currently in escrow to purchase an 7,600 square foot block and metal industrial building located at 310 Rexford Street. Rexford Street is a private road located on the north side of Valley, west of Pepper Avenue and has been developed with a variety of small metal buildings suitable for various industrial uses. The properties on Rexford have an underlying zoning of IP- Industrial Park with one parcel zoned M- 1 — Light Manufacturing. The property is now located within the West Valley Specific Plan which designates the property as HRM — Hospitality Retail/ Medical Support. (Please see the attached West Valley Specific Plan - Land Use map labeled as Exhibit "A"). Transport Components is a manufacturer and wholesaler of air brake components, which would be classified as a light manufacturing operation. As such Mr. Paige's operation would need to be located on a property that would allow light manufacturing uses. Under the HRM land use designation, light manufacturing uses are not permitted. (please refer to West Valley Specific Plan - Permitted Land Use labeled as Exhibit "B"). Discussion: As described earlier, Rexford Street is a private street that has been fully developed with a variety of older metal buildings, suitable for industrial uses. Under the West Valley Specific Plan all of these uses are now legal non -conforming uses. However, in the event that a building is not occupied for a period of more than 90 days or if the property is sold then property and uses shall be required to conform to the land uses and development standards permitted in the West Valley Specific Plan. (Please refer to definition of "Non-conformirig Uses" from West Valley Specific Plan, labeled as Exhibit "C"). Itan # 13
