STAFF REPORT
ON TRANS PACIFIC REFRIGERATED CONSOLIDATORS, INC.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO OPERATE AN EXISTING FREIGHT AND TRUCK TERMINAL
AT 2065 ROSS STREET
July 14, 2004
Trans Pacific Refrigerated Consolidators, Inc. (hereinafter
referred to as "Trans Pacific") has submitted an application for
a conditional use permit to operate an existing freight and truck
terminal at 2065 Ross Street. This site was previously operated
as a freight and truck terminal by United Cargo Logistics, Inc.
The proposed operation will include the temporary storage of
general products, and delivery services of a wide range of items.
The facility's operating hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
Monday and Tuesday, and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Wednesday through
Friday.
1. GENERAL PLAN The proposed use is a legal non-
conforming use in the General Industrial, M-Zone. The site was
previously used by United Cargo Logistics as a freight and truck
terminal. Trans Pacific intends to use the proposed site as a
freight and truck terminal. The General Plan designates the
General Industrial Zone for manufacturing, warehousing, assembly
and wholesale uses. A freight and truck terminal is a non-
conforming use in the M-Zone. However, because it is a pre-
existing freight and truck terminal, the non -conforming use may
be continued provided that it shall not be expanded, extended,
and/or altered as specified in Section 26.4.6-1 of the Vernon
-1-
Municipal Code. Section 26.5.2-11, Existing Uses, of the Code
states that permitted uses, subject to a conditional use permit
may continue without securing such a permit, however any
extension or expansion of such a use or the issuance of a new
occupancy permit shall require a conditional use permit. In
accordance with Section 24.11 of the Code, Trans Pacific is
required to obtain an occupancy permit and therefore a
conditional use permit is required.
2. SITE The proposed lot is approximately 1.7 acres. The
applicant proposes to occupy a portion of an 11,400 square foot
building that is situated on the property. The site located at
2065 Ross Street will have two tenants that will share the 11,400
square foot building. Trans Pacific will be one of the two
tenants at the proposed site and will occupy approximately 2,400
square feet. The applicant has not proposed any changes to the
size, shape or topography of the existing site. The proposed site
plan for the operation indicates the site is adequate in size,
shape, topography including drainage and landscaping.
3. ADVERSE EFFECT No potentially significant impacts are
expected to result from traffic, parking, noise, odor, dust,
smoke, light or glare, or risk of fire, infection or explosion
from the project. The project is categorically exempt under
Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act because
it is an existing facility with no expansion of use. A Notice of
Exemption will be prepared and filed with the County Clerk. The
proposed site is surrounded by industrial uses compatible with
-2-
the proposed use. The proposed use is also the same as the past
use of this site.
4. ACCESS The site has access to Ross Street, which is 60
feet wide. The street is of adequate size to handle the traffic
generated from the proposed operation.
5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS Traffic to and from the site will
primarily stem from the movements of tractor -trailers and bobtail
trucks. As proposed, the site has ample room for parking and
loading facilities for these vehicles as required by the Vernon
City Code. The bulk of vehicles will arrive primarily from
Alameda Street to Ross Street. In addition to the trucks there
will be approximately 6 automobile trips into and out of the
facility daily. The majority of inbound and outbound trips will
take Ross Street to Alameda Street traveling North to the 10
Freeway on outbound traffic and vice versa for inbound traffic.
6. OPERATIONS Trans Pacific will use the facility to
operate a freight and truck terminal. As previously mentioned,
the proposed site was previously used as a freight and truck
terminal by United Cargo Logistics, Inc. All merchandise that is
stored and transferred by Trans Pacific are refrigerated goods.
Other operational activities include sales and customer service
of existing freight customers.
7. STATE OR FEDERAL CONDITIONS All Federal, State, and
local regulatory permits shall be obtained as required for the
operation.
-3-
8. CONDITIONS It is recommended that the following
conditions be set on the permit to adequately protect the public
interests:
a. The facility shall be operated in accordance with, and
made to conform with all current codes, rules, and regulations
and subject to permit fees as adopted by the City of Vernon not
otherwise addressed by this grant of a conditional use permit.
All trucking operations, including truck and trailer parking,
shall be limited to the lot located at 2065 Ross Street in the
City of Vernon.

agency permits shall be obtained prior to operation. Prior to
occupancy a business license and occupancy permit shall be
obtained.
C. Any extension, change in use, change in ownership
interest, and/or the issuance of a new occupancy permit shall
require a new conditional use permit.
d. All parking and loading facilities shall be paved with
a hard durable surface material and shall be adequately drained,
and kept free of dust, mud, trash and weeds. Where parking or
maneuvering areas adjoin the public street a barrier wall or
landscaping shall be installed and maintained to meet City
standards. Adequate on -site parking shall be maintained so that
