UPHOLDING APPEAL BY PG&E REGARDING
FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS AFFECTING A STORAGE BUILDING
AT 210 CORONA ROAD, AP NO. 00?-401-05
WHEREAS, on January 6, 1987 Barnett Commercial Builders, on behalf of
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, applied for approval by the Site Plan
and Architectural Review Committee ( SPARC ) of a 554 square foot storage
building at the PG&E Service Center located at 210 Corona Road; and
WHEREAS, the building was to be located in a floodplain combining zone;
and
WHEREAS, at time of SPARC review the City Council was considering `~
revised conditions for development in floodplain combining districts to lessen
the damage to new structures and to avoid displacement of floodwaters onto
other properties; and
WHEREAS, staff recommended that SPARC adopt the City Council's new
policies which, according to the best available knowledge at the time
includecl raising the finished floor elevation to at least 24 inches above the
base 100-year flood level and causing no net displacement for all structures
within a floodplain zone; and
WHEREAS, SPARC adopted these policies as a condition of approval on
February 12, 1987; and
WHEREAS, PG&E appealed said SPARC condition on February 20, 1987 based
on the following concerns:
1. The building would be used to store waste materials that are
currently openly stored on site,
H~S. N~......$7.-.~.p.7....... n.c.s.
:~
2. The building has louvered air vents at floor level that would allow
the passage of flood water through the building and result in
negligible or no net displacement of flood waters, and
3. Raising the finished floor elevation 24 inches above base flood
levels would render the building useless for purposes of storing
large heavy containers of waste materials; and
WHEREAS, prior to considering this appeal, the City Council had considered
and further defined their flood plain policies; and
WHEREAS, on April 20, 1987 the Council considered the PG&E appeal, and
determined that the building was unique, considering its size and accessory
nature, that this building contains materials that may otherwise cause more
damage during a flood, and that the building would cause no net
displacernent of water;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby upholds
the appeal by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and strikes SPARC
Condition No. 3 on this matter which required raising the building's
finished floor elevation and construction for no net displacement of
floodwaters .
