of he expansion of Parcel Delivery Service Users
Case Number: 2022-002847PCA
Board File/Enactment #: 220159
Initiated by: Supervisor Walton
Effective Date: April 1, 2022
The interim controls require Parcel Delivery Service uses to obtain Conditional Use authorization and set additional limits for Temporary Use authorizations of Parcel Delivery Service uses.
Background: Parcel Delivery Services are defined in Planning Code Sec. 102 as: A Non-Retail Automotive Use limited to facilities for the unloading, sorting, and reloading of local retail merchandise for deliveries, including but not limited to cannabis and cannabis products, where the operation is conducted entirely within a completely enclosed building, including garage facilities for local delivery trucks, but excluding repair shop facilities. Where permitted in PDR Districts, this use is not required to be operated within a completely enclosed building.
| THE WAY IT WAS: | THE WAY IT IS NOW: |
|---|---|
| Parcel Delivery Service uses were either Principally or Conditionally permitted in most M (Manufacturing), PDR (Production, Distribution, and Repair), MU (Mixed-Use), and C (Commercial) districts. | Any new Parcel Delivery Service use must obtain Conditional Use authorization in districts where the Use was previously Principally permitted. |
| Parcel Delivery Service uses were not eligible for most Temporary Use authorization permits, except for the Temporary Use authorization for Interim Activities on Development Sites permit in Planning Code Sec. 205.5. | Parcel Delivery Service uses may receive Temporary Use authorization in any zoning district for a period not to exceed 60 days within a 12-month period, without the possibility of renewal or subsequent approval during the same 12-month period. Parcel Delivery Services shall not be eligible for any other Temporary Use authorization permit. |
These controls will be in place for 18 months or until permanent controls are established, whichever is first.
