PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING.

ELLEN BULLA, SYCAMORE COURT HOME ASSOCIATION (Appellant),

ROD SCHLENKER, INSURANCE AUTO AUCTIONS, INC. (Applicant), NGL

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 deviations 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) and to allow a

0-foot side yard setback (where a minimum of 10 feet is required) and a 3-foot

street side yard setback (where a minimum of 10 feet is required) for portions of

an 8-foot-tall metal screen wall extending along the eastern and southern property

boundaries. In addition the applicant requests 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. Consideration of the appeal is continued from the

December 10, 2025 County Planning Commission meeting. 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 P-1 Planned Unit District) (Assessor’s Parcel Number: 098-240-031)
