Ordinance '? a ~? ~ Rezoning 1.36 acres from R-1-H to P-C SUBMITTED BY: Director of P1 anni ng~-~ SECOfvD F~~~ .U I, ,.~ ~~'~D ADOPTION REVIEWED BY: City Manage (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X ) The request is to rezone 1.36 acres located at the northeast corner of East "H" Street and Corral Canyon Road from R-1-H (Single Family Residential/Hillside Modifying District) to P-C (Planned Community/Bonita Long Canyon SPA Commercial Recreational land use designation) in order to construct a 7,500 sq. ft. child daycare facility. An Initial Study, IS-87-51 of possible adverse environmental impacts of the project was conducted by the Environmental Review Coordinator on May 15, 1987, who concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and • recommended that the Negative Declaration be adopted. RECOMMENDATION: That Council concur with the Planning Commission recommendation, with the addition of the following condition of approval: The developer shall pay Development Impact Fees as described in the Attachment "A" of the Eastlake I PUblic Facilities Financing Plan. Said fees shall be payable with application for buildiing permit and shall be based on estimated traffic generation for institutional uses of 1.4 trips per student times the rate of $118.30 per trip (188 X 1.4 X 118.30 = $31,136.56). NOTE: This condition, requiring participation in the Facilities Benefit Assessment District for this area, was inadvertently not included for Commission action. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On May 27, 1987, the Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 with one Commissioner absent, recommended that Council enact the rezoning in accordance with Resolution PCZ-8-M. DISCUSSION: The site is triangular in shape and consists of a knoll of natural terrain elevated above both abutting streets and a permanent Eastlake open space lot '.7 • Page 2, Item 11 Meeting Date to the north. Single family homes within the Bonita Long Canyon SPA P-C zone are located to the west of the site across Corral Canyon Road, and vacant R-1-H zoned property is located to the south across East H" Street. The General Plan designates the site as well as surrounding properties for medium to low density residential use. The proposal involves the construction of a child daycare facility consisting of a 7,500 sq. ft. building with related playgrounds, landscaping, and on-site parking for 28 vehicles. A single driveway off Corral Canyon Road would provide access to the site. The facility would accommodate up to 185 children between the hours of 6:00 a. m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Bonita Long Canyon SPA P-C zone provides for a Commercial Recreational land use designation. This designation provides that: "Uses shall be limited to the following; tennis courts, swimming pool, racquet ball court, basketball court, recreation building which shall serve the membership and guests and shall not be open to the public at large. This facility shall be permitted to sell on-site the following items: food, sporting goods and accessories as these items shall be available only in conjunction of the use of the facilities by the members and guests. Daycare centers shall be included as permitted use. The intent of this commercial recreation site is not to provide general or • neighborhood commercial facilities." The design of the structure is identical to the La Petite facility at East "J" Street and Paseo Del Rey which recently receive a Chula Vista Beautification Award. The site would be graded to create two pads--with the structure and play areas located at a higher elevation than the parking area. A generous landscape buffer would be established adjacent to both street frontages. The Design Review Committee will consider the plans on May 21 and the results will be reported to the Commission. ANALYSIS: The property is isolated by virtue of the abutting streets and open space lot. Due to the size and configuration of the parcel, and its relationship to East "H" Street and Corral Canyon Road, it would be difficult if not impossible to develop the property with single family homes and create a suitable living environment for the residents. The rezoning would bring the property under the provisions of the Bonita Long Canyon SPA Commercial Recreational designation which only allows for membership recreational facilities or daycare centers. The daycare use appears to represent an excellent option for the site. It is desirable to locate daycare centers as close as possible to the residents they serve. The site is surrounded by established and developing single family areas and is conveniently situated at the intersection of two major streets. • There are presently no other daycare facilities in the immediate area. C7 • Page 3, Item _ 11 Meeting DatE 8/4%87 The site also presents few if any compatibility problems. As noted above, the property is surrounded by major streets and an open space area. the closest noise receptors are the single family homes located to the west and on the opposite side of Corral Canyon Road from the site. These homes face to the west, away from the site, and are located approximately 150 ft. distant from the nearest point of the playground area. The site is contiguous to the Bonita Long Canyon SPA, and the Commercial Recreational designation is consistent with the purpose and land use patterns established by that plan. Thus, the proposal is consistent with the implementation of the General Plan for planned communities involving large tracts of land and variety of land uses.
