SUBJECT: Appeal, Interim Development Permit DR 050, Change of
Use and Addition, Manufacturing to Mini-Storage,
3250 Olympic Blvd., M2, Calvin B. Gross, Lessee.
Introduction
This is an appeal from the determination of the Planning Commission
granting approval of an Interim Development Perr~lit for a change of
use from a portion of an industrial building to a mini storage
facility for "E-Z Storage" at 3250 Olympic Blvd, in the M2 District.
The appeal is by Mayor Ruth Yannatta Goldway.
Background
The applicant proposes to convert 20,000 sq.ft. of a 40,000 sq.ft.
single story building formerly used for carpet manufacturing to
mini-storage use and construct a 20,000 sq.ft. second level of mini-
storage directly over the first level. Code requirements for parking
spaces for storage warehouse are considerably less than for industrial
use therefore existing parking is adequate. taking into account that
the operation will only require a maximum of 4 employees and the
customers will use the storage facility at various times. A mini-
storage facility is a permitted use in the M2 District, Accordingly
the Planning Commission approved the Interim Development Permit for
the change of use and addition of 20,000 sq.ft. of mini-storage in
accordance with staff recommendations except the development fee
was waived.

Alternatives
Under Ordinance No. 1220(CCS) the City Council may affirm, reverse
or modify any determination of the Planning Commission in regard
to an Interim Development Permit.
Recommendation
Inasmuch as the change of use and addition conforms with the standards
adopted by Resolution 6385 it is respectfully recommended that the
Interim Development Permit be approved with the following conditions.
That under Resolution 6385, a development fee of $32,000 would be
required in connection with the approval of the mini-storage addition.
The City of Santa Monica is currently enjoined from enforcing the
provisions of the Resolution relating to fees. If the City of Santa
Monica prevails in the case of United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, et al; vs. City of Santa Monica, et al., Los
Angeles Superior Court Case Number WEC 069227, the above fee (or any
revised fee schedule required by any subsequently adopted ordinance)
shall be due and payable within 90 days of the date that the City of
Santa Monica is no longer subject to the injunctions.
The "Development Fee" is based on the following:
40,000 sq.ft, of storage construction at $10.00 per sq.ft.
equal to $400,000.00 times the development fee of 8o equals
$32,OOO.DO. In the event that the actual construction costs
total less than the above estimate it is respectfully suggested
that the development fee be adjusted accordingly.
