for traffic and geologic concerns,
3. Destruction of natural environment, habitat, flora and
fauna is not a concern.

HISTORY AND RELATED CASES
SDP 78-3(A), Burnett, Planning Commission Resolution No.
1524.
On June 13, 1979 the Commission approved an amendment to the
original SOP. The original was approved in flarch of 1979.
The changes included the relocation of a building and its
replacement with a parking area. The original plan addressed
the problems of access and parking and required that the
corner parcel have access over the subject property.
-2-
GPA-48, Burnett, City Council Resolution No. 5223.
On October 4, 1977, the City Council approved a General Plan
Amendment to change the land use designation of the subject
site for Travel Services Commercial and Professional and
Related Commercial to Neighborhood Commercial.
MAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Will the relocaton of the parking and the loss of
14 spaces have an adverse effect on the project?
2. Will the readjustment of the property line have any
effect on the property?
DISCUSSION
This application is for a revision to an existing site
development plan. The lot lines are being readjusted on the
northwest corner and a few parking spaces will be eliminated.
The only changes in this SDP are in the parking areas and
the lot lines near the market. The access from the street,
and the arrangement of the buildings are not being changed.
The applicant is engaging in a land swap with the owner of
the corner parcel.. As a result, the-market will be moved 10
feet to the north, allowing for 10 additional parking spaces
in front of the market. This rearrangement will eliminate'
the parking area adjacent to La Costa Avenue. Since this
land will become part of the corner parcel, this area will
no longer be a part of this SDP. The net loss of parking
from the rearrangment of the property line is 14 spaces.
This rearrangement leaves the access road to the corner
parcel in the sane location. Eowever, with the new plan the
access road does not pass through a parking lot. There is a
net loss of 14 parking spaces due to the change in the plan.
The total of spaces needed for this project is 471. In
spite of the loss of spaces, the project is still 24 spaces
over the required amount.
One condition of the original approval required that the
property be consolidated into one lot prior to issuance of
any permits. Since the property is contained in two different
assessment districts, the lot cannot be consolidated.
Therefore, staff is recommending that this condition be
deleted. All future subdivisions of property in this SDP
will be required to provide access and parking easement
agreements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of SDP 783(B) based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
-3-
Findings
1.. This project is consistent with the General Plan desig-
nation of Neighborhood Commercial since it is a coronercial
center with a market and shops.
2. This project is consistent with all applicable public
facilities, policies and ordinances because:
A. The applicant has an approved septic system
for the project.
B. The property has been tentatively approved for a
septic system. One condition requires proof of
final approval of the system for the County Public
Health Department.
C. Gas and electric service will be provided by
SDG&E.
D. Water service will be provided by the Olivenhain
Municipal Water District.
E. All necessary on-site and adjacent public improvements
would be required as per the-City's Public Improvement
Ordinance or as conditions of approval.
F. At this time, all other public facilities necessary
to serve this project will not be available concurrent
with need. The Planning Commission has, by inclusion
of an appropriate condition, required that the
project contribute to the cost of such facilities.
Since the development will pay for its proportionate
share of the public facilities which it will
require, the Planning Commission is satisfied that
the requirements of the public facilities element
of the General Plan have been satisfied.
Conditions
1. Approval is granted for SDP 78-3(8) as shown in Exhibit
A, dated 11/13/79, on file in the Planning Department.
Oeueepin$ shall be substantially as shown.
2. All conditions of SDP 78-3 and 78-3(A) (Planning
Commission Resolution No. 1524) are still in effect,
except as otherwise noted herein.
3. Condition No. 13 of Planning Commission Resolution No.
1524 is unenforceable and is therefore deleted. Any
future subdivision maps on this parcel shall include
access and parking easement agreements.
