A. General Location
The subject site consists of four parcels totaling 10.85 acres in size. It is paved and improved with two modular office buildings totaling 2,548 square feet and a large, 35,000 square foot canopy structure. It is entitled for a wood recycling facility, and was formerly used by Recycled Wood Products, who left the site in 2023. It is currently unoccupied. The site can be accessed at Grand Avenue and Phillips Boulevard. To the east of the site along Phillips is American Moving and Rigging, and Gamino’s Trucking off Signal and Phillips. To the west is Royal Cabinets, single-unit residential homes, and a house of worship. To the east along Grand is Doss logistics. To the west is Worldpac. The are a is generally part of what is considered the Reservoir industrial district.
B. Adjacent Land Uses & Current Zoning
The subject site is located within the M-2 General Industrial Zoning District. Properties to the north and east are all within the same zoning district. The property is bounded to the west by a railroad. Beyond that, westward properties are within the M-1 Light Industrial Zoning District.
C. General Plan Land Use
The subject site is located within the Workplace District land use design ation. Properties to the north and east are all within the same General Plan land use designation. Properties to the west, beyond the railroad tracks, are within the Workplace District Edge land use designation, which includes permission for housing.
Request Details
A. Request
The applicant has requested to establish an outdoor storage yard at the subject location. The applicant has requested multiple types of outdoor storage (Attachment 2). The applicant has prepared a site plan depicting the general piling of outdoor storage, and fire lanes and drive aisles (Attachment 3). The applicant has requested to operate the site 24 hours daily.

Staff Analysis
A. Applicable Code Sections
Section .580 of the Pomona Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for the establishment of any industrial facility over 20,000 square feet in building size or on a lot greater than one acre.
B. Code Compliance
1. Speculative storage
Staff first analyzed the request to reduce wherever possible the speculative nature of the request, which would allow the city to more meaningfully and effectively regulate an entitled outdoor storage yard. The conditions of approval (Attachment 1) enumerate specific outdoor storage items that are permitted, and ones that are prohibited. By doing this, both the property owner and the City have a clear sense of the types of items that can be placed on site.
2. Public safety and health
Staff next analyzed the request to reduce wherever possible the risk to public safety and health. This is accomplished by imposing a 45 percent storage coverage on the site. This percentage is derived from Staff experience in regulating pallet yards and the pile coverage limits that have been effective to reduce fire and safety hazard risks. There are also conditions imposing 20 foot height maximums, no stacking beyond the wall height for the first 125 feet of the property, and requiring Los Angeles County Fire Department clearance of a site plan to ensure sufficient drive aisles and fire lanes and pile dimensions.
Furthermore, the applicant has expressed interest in surrendering or revoking the existing entitlement for wood recycling relied upon by Recycled Wood Products, who vacated the site in 2023. This would eliminate the potential of a new wood recycling facility from siting at this location, which has been associated with serious environmental justice impacts and concerns in the neighboring community.
3. Storage versus Trucking Facility
Staff also analyzed the request to eliminate the possibility of the outdoor storage yard becoming a bonafide trucking facility or product transportation/fulfillment -oriented use.
The prohibition of storage containers and truck trailers on site reduces this possibility.
C. Environmental Review
The City of Pomona, as lead agency, has conducted an environmental review on the proposed CUP-000360-2024
1313 East Phillips
Planning Commission
May 8, 2024
project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21084 et. seq.), the guidelines include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The Planning Commission will consider adopting a Categorical Exemption in compliance with Article 19, Section 15301, (Class 1 —Existing Facilities) in that the project is an existing structure with no proposed expansions. The proposed project described above hereby meets the guidelines for a Categorical Exemption. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
A. General Plan Conformance
The project site is designated as Workplace District in the Pomona General Plan. The granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Pomona.
As conditioned, the permitted outdoor storage items are materials and equipment that can support the uses called out by the Pomona General Plan as essential to for the City’s Workplace Districts while precluding those types of outdoor storage items that would contribute to heavier industrial impacts of noise, diminished roadway safety, odor, dust, and debris.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pomona, California:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission exercising independent judgment finds that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The City of Pomona, as lead agency, has conducted an environmental review on the proposed project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21084 et. seq.), the guidelines include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The Planning Commission hereby adopts a Categorical Exemption in compliance with Article 19, Section 15301, (Class 1—Existing Facilities) in that the project is an existing developed site with no proposed expansion.
SECTION 2. If any part, provision, or section of this resolution is determined by a court or other legal authori ty with jurisdiction over the subject matter of this resolution to be unenforceable or invalid, the remainder of the entirety of this resolution shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect. To this end, the provisions of this resolution are severable.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Section .580.B of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must make five (5) findings in order to approve this Conditional Use Permit. Based on consideration of the whole record before it, including but not limited to, the staff report, public testimony received at the public hearing on this matter, and evidence made part of the public record, the Planning Commission hereby finds as follows:
1. That the proposed use at the particular location will contribute to the general well -being of the neighborhood or community.
The proposed use of the subject site for industrial development, specifically, the outdoor storage of materials and equipment , will contribute to the general well- being of the neighborhood and the community by providing a local storage use for machinery, equipment, and other tools that can be used by local manufacturers and related uses in the City’s workplace districts. The proposed use will also activate a large site that is otherwise vacant, increasing the likelihood of improved security and maintenance of the property.
2. That such use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or detrimental to the use, valuation or enjoyment of property or improvements in the vicinity.
The applicant’s request will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity as the outdoor storage items identified preclude those outdoor storage uses that would otherwise contribute to dust, debris, odor, or other public health impacts, including frequent truck trips.
3. That the site of the proposed use is of adequate topography, size and shaped to accommodate said use as well as all yards spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping and any other features necessary to allow said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood and make it compatible thereto.
The site is rectangular with sufficient width and depth to accommodate fire lanes and other dimensional limitations to ensure Fire safety provisions for any outdoor storage piles. The site is adequate to accommodate required walls, yards, and aisles.
4. That the site abuts streets and highways are adequate in width and improvements to carry traffic generations typical of the proposed use.
The subject site takes acces s from Grand Avenue and Phillips Boulevard, which both are of sufficient width to accommodate traffic generated by the outdoor storage.
5. That granting of such conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city and conforms to the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
The granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Pomona. As conditioned, the permitted outdoor storage items are materials and equipment that can support the uses called out by the Pomona General Plan as essential to for the City’s Workplace Districts while p recluding those types of outdoor storage items that would contribute to heavier industrial impacts of noise, diminished roadway safety, odor, dust, and debris.
SECTION 4.

1313 E. PHILLIPS BOULEVARD, CITY OF POMONA, CA
PROPERTY & PROJECT DESCRIPTION
I. PROPERTY OVERVIEW.
The approximately 10.85-acre site is located generally at 1313 E. Phillips Boulevard, Pomona (the “City”), CA 91766 (the “Property”). The Property is surrounded by a mix of industrial uses, including outdoor storage yards, parking lots, and warehouses of various sizes. Properties to the north, south, and east are all zoned M-2 (General Industrial) and are improved with a mix of industrial uses. To the west is an existing rail line with industrial zoned land and additional industrial uses beyond. Access to the site is from both E. Phillips and Grand Avenue.
The Property is comprised of four parcels (APNs: 8327-021-018, 8327-021-023, 8327-021-024, 8327-021-029) and is subject to Conditional Use Permit 03-028, which was approved by the City Council in 2004, is still valid today, and authorizes use of the Property as a wood-recycling facility (the “Recycling Facility”). (Resolution No. 2004-120, May 17, 2004 [the “2004 CUP”].) The site is entirely paved, screened from its surroundings, and features a roughly 35,000 square foot (“ sf”) structure. There are also two existing single-story office buildings, located on the Property’s E. Phillips Boulevard frontage, with a total of approximately 2,548 sf of floor area across both buildings.
The purpose of this application is to discontinue the existing Recycling Facility authorized under the 2004 CUP to allow for the project, which is detailed below.

• Photovoltaic Power Station (i.e., solar panels) and Associated Battery Storage; • Charging Systems and Energy Storage;
• Assembly and Manufacturing, provided such activities are conducted within a n enclosed structure;
• Rail-Served Storage Yard; and
• Outdoor Storage, provided such storage is conducted in connection with an Authorized-Use.
In connection with the CUP, Applicant will complete limited improvements at the Property. These improvements will include the addition of screening necessary to bring the Property into compliance with the applicable land use and development standards and restriping the entire site. No new construction is being proposed and no floor area will be added to the site. Furthermore, no grading or drainage patterns will be added to accommodate the Authorized Uses. Please refer to the site plan, attached hereto as Exhibit A, for additional detail regarding the scope of the proposed improvements. Finally, while hours of operation will vary based on the use(s) ultimately established at the Property , Applicant is requesting operations be allowed 24-hours per day 7 days per week.
Once one or more of the Authorized Uses is established, operations at the site will comply with all applicable City ordinances and any conditions of approval imposed by the City.
III. ANTICIPATED ENTITLEMENTS AND APPROVALS.
