Following staff review of the proposed amendment, it was determined that allowing automobile sales and additional related uses by Conditional Use Permit would be a preferred approach because it provides the opportunity to review specific proposals on a case-by-case basis.

Page 2, Item 3 0 • Meeting Date~jSJ$~~ BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On March 9, 1988, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted a motion recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment in accordance with Resolution PCM-88-166 which is attached as Exhibit B. DISCUSSION: On January 13, 1988, the Planning Commission authorized staff to proceed with a report and recommendation on the request by National Avenue Associates to allow new car dealerships and accessory uses on the property banded by Broadway, Fifth Avenue, "C" Street, and future eastbound State Route 54. The property includes just over 35 acres. Approximately five acres, along the C Street frontage between Broadway and Fifth Avenue, are developed with light industrial and heavy commercial uses. The remaining 30 acres are vacant. The portion of the property roughly west of an imaginary line halfway between Broadway and Fifth Avenue is within the Coastal Zone and is zoned Industrial: General; the portion of the property roughly east of an imaginary line halfway between Broadway and Fifth Avenue is zoned I-L, Limited Industrial. The property appears to be well suited to accommodate new car dealerships. There is a substantial amount of undeveloped acreage with frontage on Broadway with good visual access from the freeway. In addition, new car sales in this • area would be a logical extension of the National City Mile of Cars to the north. The potential for land use conflicts does not appear to be significant because the surrounding areas are zoned and developed with light industrial and heavy commercial uses. Further, the Planning Commission has approved staff's clarification of the land use chart by inserting language expressly allowing new car dealerships and accessory uses by conditional use permit in the I-L zone, which includes the portion of the property roughly east of Fifth Avenue (that is not within the Coastal Zone) by Conditional Use Permit. The proposed LCP Amendment, attached as Exhibit C, would allow new automobile and boat sales and accessory uses listed in the amendment by Conditional Use Permit within the Coastal Zone. This amendment would be consistent with the amendment of the Land Use Chart by the Planning Commission because it would allow new car and boat sales and related uses on the adjacent property roughly west of an imaginary line halfway between Broadway and Fifth Avenue. The properties east and west of the Coastal Zone boundary are under the same ownerships. FISCAL IMPACT: Not Applicable WPC 3481H • /~Sy t~2 C~ ~- C;, ~,,~`~ i! of Chula Vise, C~;ifcrnia Dated
