Harris L from C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) and R-3 Residential) to CPD (Commercial Planned Community Development The site is located at 18300 Sierra Highway, at the southeasterly corner of Dolan Way and Sierra Highway. The request included a change of zone from R-3 (Limited Multiple Residential) and C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) to. C-3 zoning for the entire 0.96 acre site. Approximately one-third of the easterly portion of the site is zoned R-3 (15,750 square feet). Under the direction of the Planning Commission, the applicants agreed to change the zone to CPD (Commercial Planned Development), thus filing for a Conditional Use Permit to implement the CPD zoning designation. The development was approved by the Planning Commission through Resolution P90-28 at its regularly scheduled meeting of November 20, 1990, contingent upon the City Council approval of Zone Change 89-007. ANALYSIS The project proposes two (2) commercial buildings encompassing 7,395 square feet on the 0.96 acre parcel. Building "A" is a one-story 4,825 square foot structure extending 190 feet in length and 29 feet in width. Maximum building height is 29 feet at the highest point near the center of the building. Building "B" is a one-story 2,570 square foot structure extending 63 feet in length and 55 feet in length. Maximum building height is 28 feet at the highest point of the roof structure. Adequate on-site parking and circulation are being provided for the project. The plan demonstrates a "U-shaped" parking design in which 30 required parking spaces for general retail and commercial uses may be accommodated. As conditioned by the Planning Commission, no restaurant uses or liquor sales are permitted within the development, now or in the future. Under the CPD Zone, 10 percent of the lot area is required to be landscaped and the applicants are proposing 20 percent landscaping. Additionally, under CPD zoning, a maximum of 40 percent of the gross lot area may be occupied -with buildings, and the project proposes 18 percent building coverage. The parcel is approximately 523 feet in length and 87 feet in width. Required improvements include the dedication and construction of Dolan Way and Solamint Road to their ultimate 66 foot right-of-way width. The existing utilities will be placed underground. The Public Works Department - Traffic Division has required that the applicant construct a raised median on Sierra Highway at the location of the property frontage. The applicant is also required to - provide a left -turn lane with appropriate transitions for southbound traffic turning left onto Dolan Way from Sierra Highway. The Planning Commission Resolution P90-28 is attached. The future General Plan land use designation for the project site is CC (Community Commercial). The Planning Commission determined that the project will be consistent with the intent and objectives of the General Plan currently under review. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the attached Negative Declaration with the finding that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment; 2.

Harris, Director of Community Development ?7 e :=6 Mr. and Mrs. Cono Terranova Daniel D. Powers, Assistant Planner LOCATION: 18300 Sierra Highway, at the southeasterly corner of Dolan Way and Sierra Highway . REQUEST: The applicants are requesting a zone change of the vacant parcel from C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) and R-3 (Limited Multiple Residential) to CPD (Commercial Planned Development) and a conditional .use permit to develop the site with two (2) commercial buildings encompassing 7,395 square feet of commercial floor area. Appropriate parking and landscaping will be provided on-site. BACKGROUND: An application for a Zone Change and Plot Plan for the property located at 18300 Sierra Highway was submitted on October 13, 1989. The request included a change of zone from C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) and R-3 (Limited Multiple Residential) to C-3. zoning for the entire 0.96 acre site. Approximately one-third of the easterly portion of the project site is zoned R-3 (15,750 square feet). The original site plan (Plot Plan 89-125) proposed 8,955 of commercial floor area including a two-story retail building approximately of 8,000 square feet and a fast food establishment approximately of 955 square feet. Based on site plan deficiencies such as the parking lot configuration, the required number of parking spaces, and the lack of loading facilities, Community Development staff recommended denial of the project at the July 3, 1990, Planning Commission hearing. At the public hearing, the Commission commented on the proposed project. Planning Commission comments included traffic issues, parking layout and design, the types of commercial uses which would be appropriate at the project location, architectural control, and a proposed rezoning of the entire project to CPD zoning (Commercial Planned Development). The item was continued to a date. uncertain to allow the applicant the opportunity to revise the project and file a conditional use permit application to be processed concurrently with the original zone change application. j — \ 0 • PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The current project proposes to develop two (2) commercial buildings encompassing 7,395 square feet on the 0.96 gross acre parcel. The parcel is approximately 523 feet in length and 87 feet in width. Required improvements include the dedication and construction of Dolan Way and Solamint Road. An additional 33 -feet in width at the northerly boundary will be improved to bring Dolan Way to its ultimate right-of-way width of 66 feet. An additional 28 feet in width at the easterly boundary will be improved to increase Solamint Road to a right-of-way width of 66 feet. Additionally, a raised median and a left turn lane with proper transitions will be constructed on Sierra Highway for traffic purposes. Proposed building "A" is a one-story 4,825 square foot structure 190 in length and 29 feet. in width at the widest point of the building in the front. Average building height is approximately 24 feet and is proposed to be 29 feet at the highest point at the center of the building. A change of building height results because the topography loses elevation from east to west. The building is situated on the rear property line and is setback 10 feet from Sierra Highway. Approximately 174 feet of the building structure at the westerly side of the property is proposed to be elevated three (3) feet to accommodate possible flood waters. Proposed building "B" is a one-story 2,570 square foot structure 63 feet in length and 55 feet in width. Average building height is approximately 22 feet and is proposed to be 28 feet at the highest point of the roof structure. Proposed building 'B" is proposed to be situated on the rear property line and setback five (5) feet from the Solamint Road right-of-way line after dedications. The site. slopes downward 10 feet at the southeasterly rear of the property with a grade differentiation in elevation from 68 to 58 feet. Moreover, the entire site slopes down westerly towards Sierra Highway approximately eight (8) feet. The finished floor elevation -for building "B" is proposed to be at 70.5 feet. According to the information provided by the applicants, eight (8) feet of fill along the rear portion of the property (6,900 cubic yards) will be needed to accommodate construction of the buildings. 30 parking spaces will be provided for the commercial uses on-site. In addition to the required parking spaces, a 12 foot by 20 foot loading area is provided at the easterly portion of the site near building "B." 20 percent of the property is proposed to be landscaped, including a landscaped buffer along the entire frontage of Dolan Way. 10 percent of the net lot area is required to be landscaped according to the development standards of the Zoning Code. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently vacant. A boxed culvert is located at the southeasterly portion of the site. The zoning for the site is C-3 and -a R-3. The area located to the south of the subject site has a combination of commercial uses, a mobile home park and vacant land. The area located to the north and east of the project site consists .of multi -family residential uses and an existing. commercial shopping center. The following table illustrates land use, zoning, Santa Clarita Valley Areawide General Plan, and future general plan designations for the vicinity: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Area Future Existing Plan Zonine Desienation Land Use Project C,U4 C -3,R-3 CC vacant North C,U4 C-3 CC,RH commercial, condominiums south C C -3,R-3 CC vacant, offices East U4 R-3 RM apartments West ------------------------------------------------------------------------- C C-3 CC vacant Rey: CC - Community Commercial RM - Residential High (25.1 - 35.0 du/ac) C - Commercial U4 - Urban 4 (15.0 - 50.0 du/ac) C-3 - Unlimited Commercial R-3 - Limited Multiple Residential An initial study was completed for the former proposal on June 8, 1990. The environmental constraint areas of concern were traffic, flood hazards, erosion, and on-site parking. It was determined that this project would have no adverse environmental impacts which could not be avoided through project redesign and mitigation measures. Consequently, the project was revised and the initial study was updated for the project. It has been determined that all previous associated impacts could be rectified through the implementation of mitigation measures applied to the project through the conditions of approval. A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project pursuant to 15070(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. /INTERAGENCY REVIEW: Comments and recommendations were solicited' from departments and agencies which would be affected by this project. Comments received I =3 were considered by the Community Development Department as part of the project review. Recommended mitigation measures have been incorporated into the conditions of approval for this project. Mr. Peter Dashnaw, a resident of American Beauty Condominiums, indicated that additional commercial uses in the vicinity are unnecessary and questioned the usability of Dolan Way. Apparently there is some question as to whether or not Dolan Way may be accessed because it is currently not a public street. The Public Works Department has determined that once securities have been paid, the City may accept Dolan Way as a public street. Dolan Way is currently listed on County Assessor's records as a future street. ANALYSIS: The project has been revised to meet all of the -Planning Commission's concerns. Appropriate landscaping, parking, and proper traffic circulation have been implemented into the project redesign to produce a more functional project than the previous proposal. At the direction of the Planning Commission, the applicants are proposing a change of zone from C-3 and R-3 to CPD. Under CPD zoning, buildings shall not occupy more than 40Z of the gross lot area. The applicants are proposing 181 of total building coverage. Additionally, the Commercial Planned Development Zone allows uses that would only be permitted in the C-1 (Restricted Business) Zone. The project has been reviewed for compliance with applicable CPD standards. Anticipated traffic problems have been mitigated through the recommendations of Michael Murphy of the Public Works Traffic Division. Traffic recommendations. have been incorporated into the project design and included in the conditions of approval. Traffic design features include the spacing of the two (2) curb cuts proposed for Dolan Way approximately 165 feet from each other and at least 150 feet from the curb of Sierra Highway. The applicants have agreed to develop the "dust pan" entrances to measure a minimum width of 30 feet for better circulation to and from the site. The driveway fronting on Sierra Highway will be restricted to "right in' and "right out" only. The applicants are required to construct a raised median to the satisfaction of the Public. Works Department to ensure safety at this driveway location. The applicants are also required to provide a separate left -turn lane with appropriate transitions. on Sierra Highway for southbound traffic turning onto Dolan Way. This may require additional pavement. All associated traffic improvements will be completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Traffic Division. Adequate on-site parking and circulation has been accomplished through the project redesign. Per the Planning Commission's request, on Dolan Way, the applicants are proposing a "U-shaped" parking design with a landscape buffer between the two (2) driveway entrances. The driveway widths have been increased from 15 feet to 26 feet minimum. All required parking for general office and retail uses may . be I_q 0 0 accommodated. (The current proposal demonstrates parking for general office and retail only. No food uses may be accommodated on-site due to parking constraints.) The proposed •U-shaped• circulation pattern and parking layout meets with'the recommendations of the Traffic Division and the Community Development Staff. Staff feels that these project elements are beneficial given the constraints of the narrow parcel. Dolan Way is shown currently on the County Assessor's Records as a future street. Following the required -roadway improvements, Dolan Way may be dedicated as a public street. This requirement is beneficial because Dolan Way is improved only to a roadway width of 20 feet currently. The applicants have submitted elevation plans demonstrating building materials as stucco and roof tile. The architecture has been revised and is.more compatible with the adjacent residential and commercial uses to the north and east of the project. The request meets the required height limits of 35 feet maximum, according to the information and materials submitted by the applicant's agent. Furthermore, maximum building heights have been added as a condition of approval. RECOMMENDATION: Based on a comprehensive review of -the project, staff has determined. that the revised proposal is reasonable and appropriate for the vicinity given the constraints of the project site. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Approve the Negative Declaration for this project with the finding that this proposed project will not have a significant effect upon the environment. 2. Approve Conditional Use Permit 90425 (Exhibit A), subject to the Conditions of Approval (Exhibit B), and contingent upon.City Council approval of the proposed zone change. 3. Recommend that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration prepared for this project, and approve Zone Change 89-007. 4. Adopt Resolution P90-28. -s 0 PROJECT VICINITY MAP ZC 89-007 CUP 90-025 A Y n < s T Canyon Country Y V y� jy l r ft a � ^1 � �i la W Ir O 44, --!SFA J/DfM 94f a'itr orl — .. �� 21v 7 �IN/w9µ i MOMbLf i :JPppviii J �!P Of 1 PROJECT J • F4,.4 N rII7. y p w1' �..

P90-28 • A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 90-025, AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE ZONE CHANGE 89-007 THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission does hereby find and determine as follows: a. An application for a Zone Change was filed on October 13, 1989, for the property owners by ACE Engineering, 2335 Honolulu Avenue, Montrose, CA 91020, and an application for a conditional use permit was filed on August 7, 1990, by Mr. and Mrs. Cono Terranova, the property owners. The property for which these entitlements have been filed is located at the southeast corner of Sierra Highway and Dolan Way, at 18300 Sierra Highway. The Assessor Parcel number for this site is 2844-005-039. b. The applications were reviewed by the Community Development Department and discussed at Development Review Committee meetings,on March 8, 1990, and September 13, 1990. c. A duly noticed public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on July 3, 1990, at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Blvd., Santa Clarita, California at 6:30 P.M. This item was continued to a date uncertain to allow the applicants to file for a conditional use permit application to implement the proposed CPD zoning classification. The item was noticed for a public hearing held by the Planning Commission on November 20, 1990, at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Blvd., Santa Clarita, California at 7:00 P.M. SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and other evidence received at the public hearing, and upon the study and investigation made by the Planning Commission and on its behalf, the Commission further finds and determines as follows: a. The City of Santa Clarita is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable probability that this project will be consistent with the general plan proposal currently being considered or studied, that there is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the.future adopted general plan if the proposed resolution is ultimately inconsistent with the plan, and that the proposed project complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. b. The development of the property in themannerset forth in the subject application will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of any -public entity and/or public utility, right of way and/or easements. Neither the design of the project, nor the type of improvements, will conflict with public easements for access through the use of the property, since the design and development as set forth in the Conditions of Approval provides adequate protection for easements. RESO P90-28 c. The applicant has submitted'a revised site plan (Exhibit "A") which depicts the area proposed for this development. Ultimately, the proposed change of zone would allow the development of commercial retail center, subject to the approval of the conditional use permit for such use. d. Rezoning to a CPD designation (Commercial Planned Development) would afford the City discretionary control over the future development of the property. Under the direction of the Planning Commission, liquor store and fast food uses shall be prohibited in the commercial center. The approval of all other requested entitlements, including Conditional Use Permit 90-025, shall be contingent upon City Council approval of the zone change to the CPD Zone. e. The proposed project will not cause serious public health problems. Services and utilities are available to the project site to accommodate water, power, gas, storm drainage, wastewater disposal, and telephone needs of future commercial users. Fire protection and geological factors are also addressed in the recommended Conditions of Approval. All structures shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code. g. Based upon a review of the submitted plan, the subject property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the development standards prescribed in the City's Municipal Code and otherwise required in order to integrate the proposed use of the subject property with the uses in the surrounding area. h. Implementation of this.proposal will cause no adverse.effects on the environment which cannot be adequately mitigated through the application of available controls. The design of the project and the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantial and avoidable injury to fish or wildlife or.their habitat. i. The subject property is of size and shape which lends itself to the proposed use. j. The requested uses at the subject property will not: 1. Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area because adequate automobile parking will be provided on-site; 2. Be materially detrimental to the use,.enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the subject property because the required public improvements will enhance the qualities of the project site and surrounding area; or 3. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare because the project shall comply with all regulations of applicable City and County codes. RESO P90-28 0 0 SECTION 3. The City of Santa Clarita Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the environmental information contained in the Initial Study, and determines that it is in compliance with CEQA and that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment. A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project. SECTION 4. Based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission approves the Conditional Use Permit, contingent upon City Council approval of the requested zone change. SECTION 5.. The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall certify to the adoption of this resolution, and shall give notice of this recommendation in the manner prescribed by Section No. 22.60.190 of the City's Planning.and Zoning Code.
