SF BAY STORAGE & TRANSFER, LLC (Owner), County File CDDP18-03005.

This is an appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s decision to approve a

development plan for the expansion of an existing Insurance Auto Auctions

storage facility onto an adjacent vacant 10.35-acre property. The proposed

expansion would allow the storage of an additional 1,136 vehicles bringing the

total number of vehicles permitted to be stored at the facility to approximately

4,436 vehicles. The development plan approval includes approval of a deviation

to the Bay Point P-1 Development Standards for 7.5% of the subject lot to be

landscaped (where 10% of the site is required to be landscaped), approval of a tree

permit for the removal of 41 code-protected trees ranging in size from 7” to 60” in

diameter, and the granting of an exception to the collect and convey requirements

of Division 914 of the County Code. The Commission will also consider a

mitigated negative declaration prepared for the project under the California

Environmental Quality Act. The project site is located at 2770 Willow Pass Road

in the Bay Point area of unincorporated Contra Costa County. (Zoning: Bay Point
