1. The specific plan amendment proposal to allow Cannon Road access to the
site, Lot 1 of the Car Country Expansion specific plan area, cannot be SUI
because direct access to major arterials is not consistent with policy establi:
the Circulation Element (Implementing Policy C.4 and Table 1:
Classifications) of the City’s General Plan. Adequate access for the subj
exists via the existing Auto Center Court roadway located at the southeast
the site. Access to Lot 1 is also provided internally with the Toyota om
operated site adjacent to the west of the subject site, at the southeast corner a
del Norte and Cannon Road. Lot 1 was originally subdivided and desi:
adequately function without an access to Cannon Road. In addition, the
plan amendment request for Cannon Road access cannot be supported bec
violates Engineering Standards (Table A) which implement General Plan
regarding intersection spacing. The proposed access is 600 feet from the P:
Norte intersection to the west and 600 feet from the Car Country Drive intel
to the east. Required intersection spacing on major arterials is 1200 feet. I
2. The specific plan amendment proposal to reduce existing and required land
along Cannon Road cannot be supported because it would be inconsistent ’I
objectives of the City’s Scenic Corridor Guidelines which designates Canna
as a Community Scenic Corridor. The Scenic Corridor Guidelines hay
incorporated by reference into the Circulation Element for implementati
therefore are part of the General Plan. Implementation policy C.6 calls
enhancement and preservation of the natural and developed environment
each designated scenic route. Reduction of landscaping in general w(
inconsistent with this policy and in turn, the General Plan. Specifica
reduction of the existing 25 foot landscaped setback area to 10 feet to
continuous row of new cars parked/displayed in the same area is not consistc
the objective of providing a substantial landscaped amenity to this major i
3. As allowed by Statutory Exemption 15270 (a) and (b) of CEQA (Ca
Environmental Quality Act), the CEQA environmental review process does nl
to projects which a public agency disapproves or rejects. Environmental r
not required for this project’s denial recommendation because the above re1
exemption allows for an initial screening of projects on the merits fo
disapprovals prior to the initiation of the CEQA process.
