Staff Presentation 
Matteo Moric, staff, provided a brief overview of the case. Mr. Moric noted it was for a 
site slightly over 2.5 acres located at the northwest corner of 22nd Street and Quail 
Avenue. Mr. Moric explained what the rezoning request was for, and that it was not 
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Industrial, but less than 
10 acres in size, therefore, a General Plan Amendment was not required. Mr. Moric 
showed an aerial photo identifying the surrounding land uses and zoning. Mr. Moric 
then shared a visual of the proposed site plan stating the site is planned to have a 
34,878 square feet warehouse building with loading docks at the northeast side of the 
building, screened by an 8-foot-high screen wall. Mr. Moric said the plan also 
incorporates parking spaces, vehicular access from Quail Avenue and 22nd Street, and 
has large landscape setbacks on the east and south sides of the building. Mr. Moric 
displayed the proposed building elevations which show a flat roof building with a 
maximum height of 27 feet 6 inches to the top of the parapet. Mr. Moric then read over 
the staff recommendation, findings, and recommended stipulations.
