FROM:
SUBJECT
I .
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RP 86-6 - CHANDLER - Request approval of a major
Redevelopment Permit to construct a single story 8,470
square foot general office building on a 32,821 square
foot lot located at the southwest corner of Laguna Drive
and Roosevelt Street in Sub-area 6 of the Village
Redevelopment area.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board recommends APPROVAL of the Negative
Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution
No. 078 recommending APPROVAL of RP 86-6 based on the findings
and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Both the lot and building are approximately triangular in shape.
The single story building sits roughly in the center of the lot
and faces Laguna Drive. A 24' driveway circles behind the
building to access 90* parking rows along the lot's exterior. A
trash receptacle and the building's utility equipment are in a
corner of the lot between parking rows. The driveway takes
access on both Laguna Drive and Roosevelt Street at the extreme
ends of the lot. The development is buffered from land uses to
the south and west by a fenced landscaped area. The project is
within Sub-area 6 of the Village Redevelopment area.
Ill. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Does the project fulfill the intent, purpose and
specific requirements of the V-R zone and subsequently
the Redevelopment Area Plan, Village Design Manual and
applicable City standards?
2) will the project prove suitable and desirable for the
site and surrounding land uses now and in the future?
Discussion
Both the Redevelopment Plan and Village Design Manual call for a
mixed use concept of commercial-office, commercial and
residential land uses in Sub-area 6. The primary use established
for this Sub-area is commercial-office. The projects proposed
general office land use fulfills this goal.
Additionally, the project appears to positively contribute to the
design goals of the Redevelopment effort. The project provides a
site, building and landscape design which appears to
appropriately transistion a low-profile, naturalized and inviting
"residential cityscape" to a commercial use in a
Commercial/Residential area.
The site design screens all parking, the trash container, and the
buildings utility equipment by placing them in the rear of the
site, behind either the building, landscaped berms or a fenced
landscape setback. The site design also incorporates bicycle
parking, exposed aggregate paving and low level lighting.
Both proposed driveway accesses have the potential to violate
city standards concerning driveway spacing requirements. To
resolve this potential conflict, the applicant has agreed to
recognize the interim nature of the driveway access and to record
an irrevocable reciprocal access agreement and vacate the
driveway on Roosevelt Street when adjacent property redevelops or
when deemed necessary by the City Engineer (Condition 39).
Architectural Design
The building design utilizes a series of hipped roofs, 3" shiplap
siding, and extensive horizontal bands of windows and glass
doors. The building materials of heavy red cedar shake shingles,
redwood siding washed in a light grey color, and wood casement
windows and glass door frames promotes a residential appearance.
The landscape plan incorporates the five remaining mature trees
left on the site, along with several typically residential plan
materials, to promote an attractive transition between
residential and commercial landscapes. The landscaping would be
complimentary with existing landscaping on the "KKOS" site and
Maxton-Brown Park on the north side of Laguna Drive.
Overall the project appears a positive contribution to the
Village Redevelopment area. Staff believes the findings can be
made to approve this project as consistent with both the short
and long term goals of the Village Redevelopment area.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not
cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has
issued a Negative Declaration on June 28, 1986.
