AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 5.C.
For Meeting of: October 07, 2014
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing Right -of -Way Use Permit (RL-
30321) for the Hollingbery CA & Cold Storage, to allow the
continued use of a loading dock along N. 1st Avenue
SUBMITTED BY: Joe Caruso, Code Administration Manager (509) 575 -6257

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Hollingbery CA & Cold Storage is requesting a Right -of -Way Use Permit to continue the use of
a loading dock located within the public right of way along North 1st Ave. The property is
located within the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district.
Right -of -Way Use permits are processed under the provisions of Chapter 8.20, which requires
review by the code administration manager and final approval by the City Council. The permit
also requires liability insurance as prescribed in Section 8.20.060, which will be provided to the
Office of Code Administration prior to issuance of any permit. Approved permits are valid for a
period of one year, renewable annually. This allows the City an opportunity to review any public
health /safety /welfare issues that may need to be addressed in subsequent years.
This application was reviewed by the Development Services Team on August 26, 2014 and the
loading dock poses no technical or code issues. The loading dock was constructed in 1957 for
the purpose of supporting the applicant's existing cold storage business.
