(ag2-26.pc) PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT Item 1 Meeting Date 2/26/97 ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit PCC-97-34; request for two temporary modular buildings to be constructed in conjunction with other buildings for the YMCA facility located at the northeast comer of Paseo Ranchero and Paseo Magda, with the P-C zone (Rancho del Rey Planned Community) - YMCA of San Diego The proposal is for the construction of two temporary modular buildings to be utilized for administration and childcare for the YMCA site at the NEC of Paseo Ranchero and Paseo Magda. These buildings will be constructed in conjunction with other buildings as a part of the YMCA's first phase of development. The Environmental Review Coordinator has previously conducted an Initial Study, IS-95-22, and addendum for the YMCA project as a whole. Said review concludes that the overall project is consistent with the EIR-87-0l for the Rancho del Rey SPA I Plan; therefore, no further review is necessary. OTHER BOARDS/COMMISSIONS: At its February 3, 1997 meeting, the Design Review Committee considered plans for the first phase of construction on the YMCA site, including the modular buildings. The Committee approved the project design, subject to certain conditions including conditions which affect the buildings that are the subject of this pennit. The Design Review Committee's conditions of approval are included as Attachment 1. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution PCC-97- 34 approving the project subject to the findings and conditions contained therein. DISCUSSION: Site Characteristics The project site a relatively level 4.75 acre property located at the northeast comer of Paseo Ranchero and Paseo Magda, within the Rancho del Rey Planned Community. The site is presently undeveloped, with the exception of a paved parking area utilized by participants in outdoor sports activities on the property. A driveway on Paseo Magda provides access to the parking area. Page 2, Item 1 Meeting Date 2/26/97 Zoning and Land Use Zone Land Use Site North South East West P-C (Planned Community) P-C (Planned Community) P-C (Planned Community) P-C (Planned Community) P-C (Planned Community) YMCA / Community Purpose Facility SDG&E Easement/Rancho del Rey Parkway Multiple Family (Apartments) Multiple Family (Apartments) Park, Community Purpose Facilities Proposal The proposed project consists of the construction of two 720 sq. f. t modular buildings to be utilized for administration and daycare. These buildings will be erected in conjunction with other permanent buildings as a part of Phase I of the YMCA's development plan. The YMCA is located on a site within Rancho del Rey SPA I which is designated as a Community Purpose Facility site; therefore, the use itself is not subject to any discretionary review. However, the Rancho del Rey Planned Community regulations require that temporary trailers (in this case, modular buildings) be approved by the Planning Commission. As a result, this application is addressed to the Commission for consideration. ANALYSIS Duration of Use As noted, the two modular buildings will be utilized for administration and childcare uses in conjunction with a variety of other uses which will take place on the site. While the uses themselves are not subject to consideration, the length of time for which the temporary buildings may be permitted is. The applicant is currently requesting permission for use of the structures for a period of two to five years. Rancho del Rey's planned community regulations do not speak to a time limit for the temporary structures. Specifically, they state that "Temporary use of properly designed mobile trailer units for classrooms, offices, banks, etc., for periods not to exceed ninety days [are] subject to Administrative Review. Requests for such uses of more than ninety days in duration shall require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. " However, the Zoning Ordinance limits the utilization of commercial coaches as temporary building space to an initial period of two years, with the possibility of extension. Simply as a matter of consistency, staff would therefore recommend that any initial approval be for a two- year period, with options for extension. Page 3, Item 1 Meeting Date 2/26/97 Aesthetics The other primary issue associated with trailers or other temporary buildings is visual/aesthetic. The proposed structures are set apart and somewhat back from the main building, but would still be visually prominent with respect to views from Paseo Magda. As a result, the Design Review Committee approval of the project included conditions requiring either relocation of the structures to a less prominant location than at the project entry and Paseo Magda, or the use of more substantial screening elements to better screen the structures from view. CONCLUSION: Staff finds that the proposal will enable the YMCA to provide additional services consistent with the purpose of the overall facility. The temporary structures will be utilized for a limited period of time, and can be screened to minimize negative aesthetic impacts. Therefore, staff recommends approval subject to the conditions listed in the draft Planning Commission resolution. Attachments 1. Commission Resolution 2. Locator/Plans 3.

The proposal is for the expansion of an existing gasoline service station site and the construction of a new station to be located at 902 Broadway (southwest corner of Broadway and L Street). The project will include the removal of a single family residence and automotive service bays, and the construction of a new facility to include five gasoline pumps, a convenience store, and fast food services including a drive through. The project site is located within the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area, and final approval therefore rests with the Redevelopment Agency. The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, ISc97-07 of possible environmental impacts and recommends adoption of the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on IS-97 -07. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: The architecture and overall project design was approved by the Design Review Committee by a vote of 4-0 (one absent) at its February 17, 1997 meeting. The Committee approved a slightly altered site design, per the attached staff sketch. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution SUPS-97- 02 recommending that the Redevelopment Agency approve the project based on the fmdings and subject to the conditions contained therein. PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION: The Municipal Code requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit for automobile service stations with the Planning Commission acting as the decision making authority (or in this case, in a redevelopment area, through a Special Use Permit process with the Redevelopment Agency as the decision-making body with the Planning Commission's recommendation). Therefore, the Commission's charge on this application is to determine whether the requisite findings for approval can be made (i.e. land use compatibility, public necessity, etc.; see draft resolution). Page 2, Item 2 Meeting Date 2/26/97 DISCUSSION: Site Characteristics The project site consists of two relatively level parcels totalling 30,927 sq. ft. (.7!acres) located at the southwest comer of Broadway and L Street. The southerly parcel currently contains a vacant single family residence and detached garage (this constitutes a nonconforming use within the C-T zone). The northerly comer parcel contains four gasoline pumps and an automotive service building with two service bays as well as a cashier area with limited snack shop sales. Zoning and Land Use Zone Land Use Site C- T (Thoroughfare Coinmercial) Automotive Service Station, Single Family Residence Automotive Service Station Multi-family Residences, Automotive Battery Repair Automotive Lube and Tune Services West Recreation (Rollerskateland) North South C- T (Thoroughfare Commercial) C- T (Thoroughfare Commercial) East C-T (Thoroughfare Commercial) I - L (Limited Industrial) ProDosal The proposed project consists of the removal of the existing single family residence and the demolition of existing gasoline pump stations and automotive service bays, and the construction of a new facility to include five gasoline pumps arranged in a linear manner along Broadway and a 3,308 sq.ft. commercial building at the southwest portion of the site to house a cashier, convenience store sales including beer and wine, and fast food services including a drive through. Parking will be provided in front of the building facing Broadway, and across the drive-through aisle to the north of the building along L Street. ANALYSIS ODerations The new facilities will include gasoline sales, convenience store sales including the sale of beer and wine, and fast food sales including limited seating as well as drive through services. All proposed activities will be open on a 24-hour basis (the C- T zone has no restrictions on hours of operation). Area allocated to the proposed uses within the 3,308 building include approximately 1,300 sq. ft. for preparation and customer seating for two separate fast food franchises (both of which will Page 3, Item 2 Meeting Date 2/26/97 be operated by Texaco employees), 1,200 sq. ft. retail sales area and 800 sq. ft. of storage area. The combined fast food operations will require two employees (one for food preparation and one for cashiering) and a third employee will cashier for the gasoline and retail sales. Parking 15 parking spaces have been provided as required for freestanding fast food facilities; however, some seating capacity has been deducted due to the allocation of parking to the retail and storage aspects of the proposed operations. Specifically, the 2,000 sq.ft. area dedicated to retail and storage uses require 7 parking spaces, and the remaining 8 spaces allocated to the fast food will be attributed to customer seating for 20 people. Traffic/Circulation Site ingress and egress will be provided via one driveway along L Street and two driveways on Broadway. Due to the intensity of uses on this site - gasoline sales, convenience retail, and fast food drive-through - site circulation is the most significant issue related to the project. Staff was initially somewhat concerned about the amount of room provided for vehicles to maneuver past one another around the gasoline pumps. Additionally, vehicle stacking is particularly important because of the orientation of the pumps relative to Broadway. The applicant has provided a site plan depicting vehicles to scale which demonstrates that there is sufficient room for vehicles to maneuver past one another (see attachment). Further, the five gasoline pumps proposed provide capacity for ten vehicles to pump gasoline at anyone time. Sufficient room exists behind these stations for one waiting vehicle and one-way traffic between the waiting vehicle and the planter. As a result, staff believes that reasonable area has been provided and that circulation around the pumps will not be a problem. At staff's recommendation, the Design Review Committee's approval included a modification to the site plan relative to the drive-through operation (see attached staff sketch); the modification addresses the issue of pedestrians crossing a drive-through lane, and the applicant is agreeable to the change. Stacking area for a minimum of six cars leading up to the menu board is provided. The mitigated negative declaration discusses possible queuing into the intersection of westbound vehicles attempting to enter the site via a left hand turn on L Street, which could also result in what the City Engineer determined as being a dangerous turning movement. As a result, a raised median will be provided to prohibit not only this maneuver, but also left hand turns by vehicles exiting the site on L Street. Page 4, Item 2 Meeting Date 2/26/97 Impacts on Adjacent Residential Uses/ Environmental Review Automotive and (nonconfonning) multi-family residential uses are located on the southerly- adjacent commercially zoned property. The multi-family uses consist of 13 units housed within one and two-unit single-story structures on the northerly and westerly portions of the property; the battery repair shop exists to the south of the units, fronting on Broadway. Both noise and lighting associated with this project have the potential to negatively impact the multi-family units. However, the applicant has agreed to certain conditions which should address them in an acceptable manner. These conditions include the construction of a masonry wall at the southerly property line to address noise, and the use of shielded site lighting and wall lighting at the southerly periphery. CONCLUSION This proposal contains a new combination of uses (gas, retail, and drive-through food services) which results in more intensive activities than other service station facilities within the city. However, staff believes that the site plan functions adequately, and that sufficient measures are incorporated into the conditions to protect the adjacent residential uses. The uses on site are consistent with other uses found in the vicinity, and with the intent of the Thoroughfare Commercial zone. As a result, staff recommends approval subject to the conditions contained in the draft Redevelopment Agency resolution. Attachments 1. Planning Commission Resolution 2.

It is located in a zone which is designated for activities dependent upon or catering to thoroughfare traffic, as this use does, and the upgrading of this site will be beneficial to the surrounding area as well as the city as a whole. As a result, this use at this location will contribute to the well being of the community. B. That such use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed use is located in a zone which is designed for such thoroughfare- oriented uses. The proposed project design as well as compliance with additional conditions, will ensure that potential impacts to neighboring, albeit nonconforming, residential uses are minimized. Therefore, this use will not detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. C.

CASE NO: IS- 97-07 DATE: 2/3/97 . A. Project Setting The project site consists of two parcels totalling 30,927 sq.ft. and located at the southwest comer of Broadway and L Street. Existing uses include a service station with four gasoline pumps, two automotive service bays, and a cashier area with limited retail convenience sales, and an unoccupied (boarded) single family residence with detached garage. The site is zoned Thoroughfare Commercial (CT) and is . designated as Retail Commercial (CR) on the General Plan. Additionally, the site is located within the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area. A service station is located across L Street to the north and an automotive oil change facility is across Broadway to the east. To the west is a recreational (rollerskating) facility; a multi-family residential complex and a battery repair shop are located to the south of the site. B. Project Description The proposed project consists of the removal of the existing single family residence and the demolition of existing gasoline pump stations and automotive service bays. New facilities to be constructed would include five gasoline pumps .. arranged in a linear manner along Broadway and a 3,308 sq.ft. co=ercial . building at the southwest portion of the site to house a cashier, convenience store sales including beer and wine, and fast food services including a drive through. All activities will take place on a 24-hour basis. Parking will be provided in front of the building facing Broadway, and across the drive-through aisle to the north of the building along L Street. A 7 ft. dedication will be provided along the length of the "L" Street frontage, and a raised median will be constructed within the "L" Street right-of-way. ~\~ -.- '- -- -...~~~ \.. \.. city of chuJa vista planning department mY OF .. environm~l1tal review section. CHUlA VISJ: Discretionary actions include approval by the Design Review Committee, Redevelopment Agency approval of a Special Use Permit, and an Owner Participation Agreement. C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The current zoning on-site is C- T, Thoroughfare Commercial, and the site is designated for retail commercial on the GeDeral Plan. The proposed project is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan as well as the Southwest Redevelopment Plan. D. Identification of Envirornnental Effects An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached Envirornnental Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project could have one or more significant envirornnental effects. Subsequent revisions in the project design and/or specific mitigation measures will be implemented to reduce these effects to a level below significant. With project revisions and/or mitigation, no significant envirornnental effects will occur, and the preparation of an Envirornnental Impact Report wiIl not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The foIl owing impacts are those that were determined to be potentially significant and are required to be mitigated to a level below significant. A discussion of each of these potentially significant but mitigatable impacts from the proposed project follows. Noise Increased noise from vehicular traffic, particularly in the drive-through area, could result in unacceptable noise impacts on the southerly-adjacent residential uses. Lighting Proposed site lighting at the southerly property line would result in glare onto adjacent residential uses/structures which have windows facing this site. Traffic Insufficient area is available for the safe queuing of westbound traffic attempting to turn left into the "L" Street driveway; given the amount of traffic anticipated, such entIy into the site could result in vehicle stacking into the intersection of Broadway and "L" Street. Aesthetics Since "L" Street is a major entry to the community, frontages along this street should be enhanced. E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant effects Specific project mitigation measures are required to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the initial study for this project to a level below significant. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design and have been made conditions of project approval. A 7' high IT/flSonry wall shall be constructed along the southerly property line. Light standards along the southerly property line shall be replaced with wall-mounted lighting to be located oJ some point below the top of the wall. A raised median will be required within the "L" Street right-of-way to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; the applicant shall not be responsible for any portions of the median extending past the westerly property line of the project site. Enhanced landscaping will be required along the "L" Street frontage. An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project will not have a significant environmental effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. F. Consultation 1.

XII, Thresholds. Will the proposal adversely impact the City's Threshold Standards? As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seen Threshold Standards. a) Fire/EMS o o o 181 The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must be able to respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75% of the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold standard will be met, since the nearest fire station is one mile away and would be associated with a 7 minute or less response time. The proposed project wilI comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: The nearest fire station is one mile away and response time would be within 7 minutes; the Fire Department will therefore be able to provide an adequate level of service. The Fire Department will require permits for the removal and/or installation of tanks, and one 3A 20BC fire extinguisher is required. b) Police o o o 181 The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of Priority 1 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: Due to the 24-hour nature of the proposed uses, the Police Department recommends training for all personnel regarding security and police reporting procedures.

Impa"t Mllipled Impact Impact C) Traffic 0 r8I 0 0 The Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Intersections west of 1-805 are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS "E" or "F' during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this Standard. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: A traffic study by Darnell and Associates dated November 15, 1996 has been submitted. As a result of the figures provided within the traffic study, the Traffic Engineering Division has determined that a median within the "L" Street right of way will be necessary to prevent queuing into the intersection from west-bound traffic attempting to enter the site on "L" Street. d) ParkslRecreation o o o 181 The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres/l,OOO population. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: The Parks and Recreation standards do not apply to this project. e) Drainage o o o 181 The Threshold Standards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Planes) and City Engineering Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: Drainage capacities will not be affected by project implementation. f) Sewer o o o 181 The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with Sewer Master Planes) and City Engineering Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Comments: Sewer capacities will not be affected through project implementation. g) Water o o o 181 The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality standards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Applicants may also be required to participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
