RP 89-5 DATE: JANUARY 5. 1990 BACKGROUND 1. CASE NAME: ARTS & ANTIOUES WAREHOUSE 2. APPLICANT: ROBERT WICKER 3. ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER OF APPLICANT: 172 6 SWAN STREET SAN DIEGO, CA 92114 r619) 589-8661 4. DATE EIA FORM PART I SUBMITTED: 5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: USE CHANGE, FACADE IMPROVEMENTS, DEMOLITION OF 1895 SOUARE FEET, ENGINEERING STANDARDS VARIANCE. PARKING LOT AND LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to indicate this determination. * An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a siqnificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insicfnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and "YES-insig" respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. X_ 34. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) X_ 35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively con- siderable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) X_ 36. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? X_ -5- DI-SCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION This is the site of the abandoned Triangle Transfer and Storage Company. The existing architecture is an industrial split face block and corrugated metal design. Proposed store front facade improvements include awnings, six inch stucco pop-outs, pre-fab columns, and a canopied architectural treatment over the driveway. Stamped concrete is proposed in three separate areas of the drive for relief and aesthetic enhancement. A new six foot high wood fence, new planters new curb, new walks, and a new trash enclosure are also planned in the rear parking area. The requested use of an arts and antiques warehouse is in harmony with the existing commercial/light industrial uses along State Street. The existing abandoned, dilapidated warehouse is a depressing and blighting influence on the redevelopment area. The applicant is demolishing 1895 square feet of building to accommodate the use and its required parking. The parking area will be landscaped and fenced, and facade improvements will be provided and maintained. There is no adverse impact projected from the daily trips generated by this project upon the street system serving the use as they are within the design standards for the system and meet the performance standard for the Growth Management Program. -6- ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alter- nate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative. A. Phased development of the project is financially infeasible. The project is demolition of an existing building to allow additional parking. Without demo parking standard is met. B. Alternate site desing would increase physical impact of demolition. Less demo would not allow parking standard to be met. C. Alternate scale of development would appear infeasible as the building already exists. D. The only alternate use that could be supported for the site would be office. However, the existing site does not have the required parking for such a sue. The existing building is a dilpaidated, abandoned warehouse which would requrie extensive renovation for such use. E. Development at some future time condemns this site to remian in a blighted, dilapidated condition. F. Alternate sites for the proposed presupposes other suitable vacant buildings or a major construction project. G. The no project alternative condemns the property to remain in a blighted, dilapidated condition. -7- DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) On the basis of this initial evaluation: X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
