BACKGROUND 1. The applicant is requesting approval of a Precise Plan for the development of a 60-unit apartment complex on 3.45 acres of property located on the north side of East Orange Avenue, approximately 580 feet west of Melrose in the R-3-P-17 zone. The proposed project represents the final phase of development for the apartments currently built and under construction west of the Alpha Beta Shopping Center. 2. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR-76-10) on this project was adopted by the Planning Commission on November 8, 1976. B. ANALYSIS 1. Site Characteristics. The project site is a 3.45 acre parcel on the north side of East Orange Avenue between the Alpha Beta Shopping Center and Phase I of the East Orange Plaza and immed- iately south of Phase II of the same apartment project. The site is currently being graded in conjunction with the grading for the Phase II development. 2. Precise Plan Proposal. The applicant proposes to construct 44 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom units for a total of 60 units on the site. The apartments are all two-story townhouse plans grouped EXHIBITS ATTACHED continued on su 1 emental a e s. Agreement Resolution X Ordinance Plat X Othgr M-77-14 -~reci se~'f an Environmental Document; Attached Submitted on 11/11/76 (EIR-76-10) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. BOARD/ COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On April 6, 1977 the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council approve the precise plan for Phase III of the East Orange Plaza development in accordance with Resolution PCM-77-14. COUNCIL ACTION Form A-113 (Rev. 5-75) AGENDA ITEM N0. 5a,b Supplemental page No. 2 into seven buildings. A swimming pool and recreation building are proposed within the center area of the group of four buildings on the westerly end of the project. Five garage structures with space for 10 cars each are located on the periphery. The garages have been sited to provide visual and acoustical screening from the shopping center and to create interior residential enclaves. 3. Architecture, The same architectural styling and character as the adjacent Phase I and II of East Orange Plaza is proposed for this development. Exterior materials will include cement plaster, wood siding and extensive wood trim. The buildings will be, for the most part, flat roofed with sloping wood shingled roofs for accent over central portions of the building and over porches. The building masses are broken up with changes in wall line, fences and architectural projections. Architectural treatment of the garage areas abut- ting the shopping center and Orange Avenue is also proposed. 4. Parking and Circulation. a. The Precise Plan for Phase TIT also includes a revision to the parking and circulation pattern of Phase II. The changes are as follows: (1) The circulation connection between Phases T and II is eliminated; (2) the driveway located between Phase II and III has been realigned further south, closer to the Phase III development; and (3) some rearranging of the driveway and garage locations has taken place. b. The revised circulation pattern has resulted in Phase II and III being developed as one project completely independent from Phase I. In staff's judgment, this is a preferable treatment. The two parcels of Phase II and III will be required to be consolidated through the parcel map or adjustment plat procedure concurrent with the issuance of building permits. The revised circulation has also resulted in additional landscaping adjacent to the three southerly buildings in the Phase II development, better internal circulation, and easier access for vehicles entering and leaving via Orange Avenue. c. The required parking for the combined 120 units of Phase II and III is 233 spaces. The total parking provided is 252 spaces, 80 of which will be in eight garage structures. 5. Landscaping. Final landscaping plans and details will need to be submitted for approval of the City Landscape Architect. Permanent irrigation will be required for all landscaped areas of the development. Care should be taken that no trees or tall shrubs interfere with sight lines for vehicular traffic, particularly at the major ingress-egress points to the project. A combination of landscaping, walls and buildings will screen the development from the shopping center. a RESOLUTION N0. PCM-77-14 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE APPROVAL OF THE PRECISE PLAN FOR EAST ORANGE PLAZA, PHASE III i WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1718 adopted by the Chula Yista City Council on December 21, 1976 established the zone for 7.45 acres located north of East Orange Avenue, west of Melrose Avenue, as R-3-P-17, and WHEREAS, a precise plan for the development of a 60-unit apartment complex, called East Orange Plaza Phase III, on 3.45 acres of the property was filed by Celia A. Seligson on March 15, 1977, and WHEREAS, an environmental impact report, EIR-76-18 on the project was adopted by the Planning Commission on November 8, 1976, and WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission held a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6, 1977 in the Council Chamber, City Hall, to consider the precise plan for development as submitted. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION finds as follows: a. That such plan will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposal is for residential units at a density within that permitted by the zoning of the property and will result in the integration of East Orange Plaza Phase II and Phase III into one project. b. That such plan satisfies the principle for the application of the "P" Modifying District as set forth in Section 19.56.041. Deletion of the circulation between the existing East Orange Plaza Phase I and Phase II allows Phase I to be completely separated from the Phase II and Phase III development without adverse effects upon the circulation of either project. The architecture for Phase III is an extension of an existing development previously approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. c. That any exceptions granted which deviate from the underlying zoning require- ments shall be warranted only when necessary to meet the purpose and application of the "P" Precise Play Modifying District. No exceptions to the zoning requirements are contained in the project. d. That approval of this plan will conform to the General Plan and the adopted policies of the City. . The plan and land use are compatible with the General Plan. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Planning Commission recommends to the City Council the approval of the Precise Plan for East Orange Plaza Phase III as submitted by Celia ,A. Seligson, subject to the following conditions: 1. Final plans indicating grading, drainage and landscaping shall be submitted for approval prior to issuance of any building permit. 2. Final plans shall indicate circulation details onsite and within access easements (pavement widths, curbs, medians, etc.) along with sufficient dimensions and details to indicate good traffic flow and adequate access for emergency vehicles. 3. Parking shall be controlled by means of "No Parking" signs or other devices acceptable to the Department of Public Works so that parking does not encroach into required driveways or backup space. 4. The final grading plan shall indicate all required retaining walls, steps and other transitions between dwelling units and open areas to insure a smooth transition with the adjoining slope areas.
