9. 4. LPC Properties- Variance for side yard setback reduction Assessor Parcel Number: 206-111-020 Record Number: PLN-2025-19260 Carlotta A Variance is requested to allow a reduced side yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for the construction of a new 80 foot by 110-foot storage building. The property is 1.2-acres and developed with an approximately 9,250 square foot existing beverage business. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (MH), which requires 50-foot front and rear yard setbacks, and 25-foot side yard setbacks. The large setback requirements are particularly restrictive given the size and layout of the parcel (allowing only approximately 42 percent of the land to be developed), and building into the setback is the only feasible way for the existing business to gain the contiguous storage space needed while also maintaining access. The Variance for the new metal building placement is requested to accommodate equipment and materials that require dry storage to operate efficiently, safely, securely and to follow sanitary standards. A lot line adjustment is not feasible due to the neighbor’s existing septic systems along property lines on both sides. The parcel is served with a shared water system, an on-site septic system, and power supplied by PG&E. 25-1134 approved
10. 5. Yurok Economic Development Corporation Shoreline Market & Fueling Station Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 520-151-014, 520-151-015, 520-151-016 Record No.: PLN-2021-17554 Orick area A Coastal Development Permit and Special Permit for Design Review of a proposal to redevelop an existing fueling station and market. The project includes demolition of the existing storefront, fuel pump, and other unoccupied buildings on the property and construction of a new commercial structure approximately 45 feet in height and approximately 8,289 square feet in size, which would contain a market and laundromat. The existing 2-story market building being replaced is approximately 4,000 ft.² in size. The proposal includes construction of an approximately 3,000 square foot canopy covering the new fueling station and installation of several above ground tanks for storage of gasoline and propane. Additional on-site improvements include placement of appurtenant signage on the market and fueling station, installation of landscaping, and creation of an approximately 320 square foot trash enclosure. Several modular buildings are proposed to be installed and will temporarily serve as the market and will be removed after construction is completed. The project includes three parcels of the land totaling approximately 8 acres (identified as APNs 520-151-014, 520-151-015 and 520-151-016) which are proposed to be merged to accommodate new septic system improvements needed for the proposed development. The site is served with community water provided by the Orick Community Services District. The applicant has agreed to work with Caltrans on completing highway improvements to allow limited widening of the roadway and development and striping of a left-turn lane in the vicinity of the project. 25-1133 approved
