PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW

• The Planning Commission supported the project but believed

changes were needed on the architectural design……

• Thus, the PC recommended a condition that requires a

Substantial Conformance approval by the Planning Director to address design issues.

• The Commission also has recommended several staff

sponsored edits to the Parcel Map and Plot Plan conditions

• These were outlined in the staff report and added to the

appropriate Resolutions for Council consideration…..

PROJECT APPLICATIONS

The proposed project consists of the following items for Council consideration: 1) Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) 2) Change of Zone from R-R to C-1/C-P to be consistent with the GP land use of Commercial Retail (CR). 3) TPM No. 37311 to subdivide 2 parcels into 4 parcels. 4) Plot Plan to develop a 26,204 square-foot commercial retail project.

CEQA / EIR PROCESS

• Draft IS/MND was circulated – 30 day public review from Jan. 31

to March 1, 2018.

• The City received 8 comment letters from various agencies and

interested persons.

• The City prepared detailed responses to each comment letter as

part of the Final MND package & MMRP.

• Final MND package was sent to commenters 10 days prior to PC

meeting in accordance with city policy.

• All project related impacts have been mitigated in accordance

with CEQA law (29 mitigation measures).

PROPOSED CHANGE OF ZONE

The proposed Change of Zone is as follows: 1) The existing zoning of R-R (Rural Residential) is proposed to be changed to C-1/C-P (General Commercial) to accommodate the retail center. 2) The C-1/C-P zone permits the development of commercial retail centers. 3) The C-1/C-P zone is “highly consistent” with the General Plan land use designation of Commercial Retail (CR). 4) The project site has been planned as a retail center since the city’s incorporation in 2008.

PLOT PLAN / RETAIL CENTER

• The development requires 144 parking spaces….plot plan

reflects 145 parking spaces which exceeds code standards.

• Each parking stall has been designed to meet the minimum

stall dimensions, including drive aisles and back-up areas.

• A reciprocal access and parking agreement will be recorded

concurrently with the final parcel map.

• The proposed buildings comply with all C-1/C-P development

standards in terms of setbacks, building height, landscaping and lot coverage.

PLOT PLAN / RETAIL CENTER

• Primary Access to the site for visitors and employees will
• ccur from Stable Lanes (no left turn northwards for delivery

trucks leaving the site).

• Secondary access to the site will occur Clinton Keith (right-in

& right-out only).

• The Project has been conditioned to construct full public

improvements along Stable Lanes and Clinton Keith Road.

• This includes most importantly a traffic signal at the

intersection of Stable Lanes and Clinton Keith Road.

PLOT PLAN / RETAIL CENTER

• All roof mounted equipment will be screened in accordance with

city standards for retail centers.

• Truck deliveries are restricted to the hours of 8am and 8pm to

help minimize noise (Planning Condition No. 64).

• The site has been designed to provide buffering (i.e., landscaping

and walls) along the north & west property lines.

• In addition, a condition has been proposed requiring the

Applicant to enter into an agreement with North HOA to provide additional landscaping on the HOA southerly slope.

• This landscaping will include a variety of 24”-box & 36”-box trees

and a variety of shrubs along the slope area.

• The architectural theme for the commercial retail project can be

generally characterized as a “modern Craftsman.

• Design elements include such things as stucco, wood trellis’s,

columns, etc.
