SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning (4/5ths Vote: Yes Nom)
A. BACKGROUND
1 . This item involves a request to zone approximately 3 acres of excess freeway
right-of-way located at the southeast quadrant of I-805 and East "H" Street to P-C
(Planned Community) zone. The property is presently unzoned.
.2. Environmental Impact Report EIR-79-8, certified by the Planning Commission on
October 10, 1979 included the subject property. The candidate CEQA findings which are
are supplementary to that EIR are presented as an earlier agenda item.
B. RECOMMENDATION: That Council :
Enact an ordinance to zone the property as shown on Exhibit A to P-C (Planned Community) .
C. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On February 27, 1980 the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the subject
property be zoned P-C in accordance with Resolution PCZ-80-C.
D. DISCUSSION
1 . Existing site characteristics.
The subject property, part of the I-805 freeway right-of-way,. is located on the south
side of East "H" Street and east of the northbound `H" Street offramp. The property has
a width of 200 feet and an average depth of 640 feet (the southerly portion of the property
being triangular in shape) . The site is approximately 50 feet lower than East ""H" Street
and has 2:1 downslopes along the north and west sides of the property which constitute
approximately 50% of the site.
2. Rice Canyon development.
The developers of the Rice Canyon area have been netogiating with the State of
California for the acquisition or lease of the subject property. In anticipation of
acquiring the site, the developers have included the property in their development plans.
The site would be filled and the southerly one acre used as a park-and-ride site. The
northerly portion would be used as part of an auto park commercial development. The
California State Department of Transportation has filed a letter with the City confirming
the proposed sale and concurrence with the P-C zoning.
E. ANALYSIS
The proposed zoning i..s consistent with the zoning of the adjacent property. The location
of the site dictates the need, to. coordinate its development with the adjoining Rice Canyon
commercial.'. site. Should the site not be acquired by Watts Development Company, the staff
would require the granting of necessary easements to guarantee access in accordance with
approved plans.
F. FISCAL IMPACT None.
