PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On December 2, 1981 the Planning Commission unanimously (6-0 with one member absent) recomme ded that Council approve the request to rezone the property located at 288-290 Del Mar Avenue from R-3 to C-0 in accordance with Resolution PCZ-82-C. DIS U(~ SSION 1 .~ North South East ^!est 2. Adjacent zoning and land use: R-3 Public parking lot C-0 Professional offices, beauty salon and apartments C-0 & R-3 Professional offices and apartments C-0 Professional offices Existing site characteristics. Th subject property, measuring 45' X 135.5', is located on the west side of Del Mar Avenue pproximately 100 feet north of "F" Street. The subject property was originally one lot which has since been divided into two equal parcels (each measuring 45' X 67.75') with on parcel fronting on the street and the other located immediately behind to the ~~sest. ach parcel is developed with a wood frame single family dwelling. A two car garage traddles the property line between the two parcels. A 10 foot easement exists alon~s t e southerly side of the front parcel which serves as access to the rear parcel. A large p rtion of the two parcels is paved and used for parking for the commercial uses frontin on "F" Street. The rear house was once used as an antique store but is presently being u ed for residential purposes. 3. On November 10, 1981 the Chula Vista Parking Place Commission, by a vote of 3-2, recomme ded that the City Council expand the boundaries of the Parking District to include the subject site. Expansion of the district boundaries to include the applicant's property !~-ould a low the site to be redeveloped without providing onsite parking. Consideration ~he arking Place Commission's recommendation is the next agenda item. continued Form A-11~ (Rev. 11/79) -~ / ~ • Page 2, Item ^ _ Meeting Date '~'~2 • 4~. The subject property is located at a point where two land use designations interfa e on the General Plan (Professional Office and High Density Residential). Accord- ingly, he subject property may be zoned either R-3 or C-0 and still be in conformance with the Gen ral Plan. D. ANAUYSIS 1. Under normal circumstances, I would be very reluctant to recommend approval of commercial zoning for any property which faces and receives its access from what is con- sidered to be a residential street. However, I believe that circumstances existing in this particular case warrant the rezoning. The circumstances are: a. The subject property is very narrow (45') and relatively small (approximately 6000 sq. ft.) and would be very difficult to develop residentially (except as it exists). b. The property is substantially bordered by commercial uses. The properties to the wes and south are zoned for and developed with offices. The property to the north, while z ned R-3, is a commercial parking lot serving the offices on "F" and Church Streets. The com ercial zoning on the east side of Del Mar extends 120 feet north of "F" Street while t e present C-0 zoning on the west side extends only 100 feet. c. The subject property is functioning in part as a commercial use by providing rking for the other commercial uses fronting on "F" Street. In addition, the rear ~llin has been used comercially in the past. 2. All things considered, the property is not well suited for residential use and rezonin the property for office use will enable the applicant to remodel and upgrade the propert for that use. The applicant has indicated he is prepared to renovate the front dwellin to be used as a dental office. It should be noted that unless the Parking District boundar es are expanded by the City Council to include this lot, the applicant may have to remove he rear dwelling and the garage in order to meet the parking requirements to convert the front dwelling into a professional office.
