RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE-THRU LANE AND AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8613 FIRESTONE BLVD, ZONED C-3 (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. June 17, 2013, the applicant (4G Development and Consulting) submitted the request for a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit (PLN-13-00147) requesting to construct a 4,711 s.f. fast food restaurant with a drive-thru lane and an outdoor dining area on the subject site. On July 8, 2013, the applicant submitted an application for Tentative Parcel Map No. 72340 (PLN-13-00158) application requesting to subdivide the 2.26-acre parcel into two lots. The applications were deemed incomplete on July 16, 2013 due to missing information on the project plans; and B. On August 8, 2013, the applicant submitted the final information need for the request; as such, staff deemed the application complete on August 9, 2013.; and, C. On September 5, 2013, notice of the pending application published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500' of the subject site; and, D. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on September 18, 2013, and after fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions offered at the aforesaid public hearing adopted this resolution. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares the environmental impact of the proposed development has been reviewed and has been found to be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects). SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings regarding the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that: 1. The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the purpose and intent of the zoning code or the City's General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central Business District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and regional needs. The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick service eating establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a policy of the taw General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area for people to Resolution No. 13-2846 Downey Planning Commission acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General Plan Program 1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the Firestone Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it contributes to achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone Blvd. It is also a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of properties." The proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will serve to upgrade all the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape. 2. The requested use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located. The subject site is within a fully developed area of the City, with little to no vacant properties in the immediate area. More specifically, the surrounding properties are improved with either Downey High School or existing commercial developments. The proposed development is designed in a manner that will not impact the ability of the surrounding properties to grow and/or develop. Notwithstanding this, several conditions of approval have been included with this approval, which will serve to mitigate any potential impacts on the neighboring properties. 3. The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area. The subject site is an approximate 2.26-acre irregular shaped lot that is currently unimproved. The proposed restaurant is located near the southwest corner of the site with sufficient parking, setbacks, drive-thru queuing, and landscaping to meet or exceed all of the code requirements. This can be exemplified by the applicant providing queuing space for 20 vehicles in the drive-thru lane, instead of the eight required by the Downey Municipal Code. Since the applicant is meeting all code requirements and has proposed a site layout the show care to vehicle and pedestrian circulation that the site has adequate size and shape to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. The subject site is accessed from Firestone Blvd, a primary arterial roadway within the City. Based on the most recent traffic counts conducted for the area, there are approximately 40,000 vehicles that travel in both directions each day on this portion of Firestone Blvd. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the request and has noted that minimal increases in the number of vehicles trips may be anticipated. However, this increase is insignificant compared to the amount of pass through traffic (traffic that would be traversing Firestone anyways). Based on this determination, it is determined that Firestone Blvd has sufficient capacity to absorb the additional traffic without impacting the level of service. SECTION 4. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings regarding the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that: 1. The site plan is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central Business District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and regional needs. The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick service eating establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a CUP, SPR,TPM(PLN-13-00147&PLN-13-00158)—8613 Firestone Blvd September 18,2013-Page 2 Resolution No. 13-2846 Downey Planning Commission policy of the General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area for people to acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General Plan Program 1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the Firestone Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it contributes to achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone Blvd. It is also a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of properties." The proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will serve to upgrade all the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape. 2. The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of Article IX and the zone in which the site is located. One of the purposes of the zoning code is to allow development of properties, while avoiding impacts of the adjoining area. The subject site is within the C-3 (Central Business District) zone, which has the intent to provide commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and regional needs. The proposed project meets both of these goals by providing a restaurant that can have has been designed in a manner that will enhance the streetscape and provide quick food service to those who live, work, and travel through the area. 3. The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including architecture and landscaping, will integrate harmoniously and enhance the character and design of the site, the immediate neighborhood, and the surrounding areas of the City. The site is currently vacant and void of landscaping. The applicant's proposal will include the construction of a new restaurant with a contemporary architectural style, which includes the use of multi- colored stucco on the facades and a brick veneer. Furthermore, the applicant is proposing to utilize a variety of landscaping that will give the site a pleasant visual appearance. The combination of the landscaping and architectural style will serve to enhance the site and the entire area. The proposed architecture will integrate with the existing architecture of other buildings in the area. 4. The site plan and location of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries, and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effects of the development from the view of the public streets. The proposed project will allow two restaurants at the subject site, one of which will have a drive-thru lane. This drive-thru lane has been located in a manner such that pedestrians will not need to traverse it to get to the building. Furthermore, the proposal exceeds all requirements for parking and on site landscaping, which has been designed to facilitate movement on the site and minimize points of conflict. 5. The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities. In the City of Downey, there are a virtual plethora of architectural styles, particularly in this area. The proposed architecture is a contemporary architectural style, which includes the use of multi-colored stucco on the facades and a brick veneer. After a review of other buildings in the area, it has been noted that this style is not prevalent in the area. Nevertheless, the finished materials and colors being proposed by the applicant will allow the buildings to blend nicely with the architectural styles of the other buildings. 6. The site plan and design considerations shall tend to upgrade property in the immediate neighborhood and surrounding areas with an accompanying betterment of conditions `` affecting the public health, safety, comfort, and welfare. The subject site is currently CUP,SPR,TPM(PLN-13-00147&PLN-13-00158)—8613 Firestone Blvd September 18,2013-Page 3 Resolution No. 13-2846 Downey Planning Commission vacant and void of landscaping. The project will upgrade the property of the immediate area. Furthermore, the use of large canopy trees and block walls along the property lines will provide proper screening for the adjoining uses. Based on this, the project will upgrade the property and promote the public health, safety, and welfare of those who work or reside in the area. 7. The proposed development's site plan and its design features will include graffiti resistant features and materials in accordance with the requirements of Section 4960 of Chapter 10 of Article IV of this Code. As part of this project several conditions of approval have been included to require the use of graffiti resistant materials in the construction of the building. Should any graffiti appear on the site, an additional condition of approval has been included to have the applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application. SECTION 5. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings regarding the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that: 1. That the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan. The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of General Commercial and zoning of C-3 (Central Business District). It is the intent of the land use designation and zoning to provide commercial and service uses in the City in order to serve the broadest community and regional needs. The proposed restaurant will provide these needs by providing a quick service eating establishment for those who live and work in the area. Furthermore, it is a policy of the General Plan (Policy 1.1.4) to "Provide an appropriate amount of land area for people to acquire goods and services." This policy is implemented in part by General Plan Program 1.1.4.5, which states, "Create a specific plan for a restaurant row along the Firestone Boulevard corridor." While this approval is does not create a specific plan, it contributes to achievement of this goal by providing an additional restaurant on Firestone Blvd. It is also a policy of the General Plan (Policy 8.2.2) to "Promote the upgrading of properties." The proposed improvements will not only upgrade the subject site, but will serve to upgrade all the surrounding properties, as it will enhance the streetscape. 2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The proposed project will consist of subdividing a lot into two parcels and constructing a 4,711 square foot fast food restaurant, which will have a drive-thru lane and an outdoor seating area. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to have a second building pad for the future construction of a second restaurant. Other site improvements include the parking and landscape areas, as well as trash enclosures. The applicant meets or exceeds all development standards. Further review shows that each lot can individually meet their respective development standards. Since after the proposed subdivision each lot can individually meet its respective development standards, the site is suitable for the type and density of development. 3. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subject site is currently vacant and void of landscaping. The proposed project will provide new restaurants and over 21,000 s.f. of landscaping area. These types of development are not typically associated with causing a serious public health problem. Since the proposed development is surrounded by non-residential uses, operation of the site will not result in impacts. Should any unforeseen impacts occur, the use of large canopy trees and block walls along the property lines will provide proper CUP, SPR,TPM(PLN-13-00147&PLN-13-00158)—8613 Firestone Blvd September 18,2013-Page 4 Resolution No. 13-2846 Downey Planning Commission screening for the adjoining uses. Furthermore, the overall site has been designed to prevent potential safety issues. 4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. The existing site was formerly used by the local telephone company as an office. The proposed parcel map and title report was reviewed, in which the only public easement that was found was for power lines, which will be preserved. Nevertheless, a condition of approval that grants reciprocal parking and access across both sites has been added to ensure proper public access is kept in the future. 5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. The existing site is vacant, with no landscaping. There are no known areas within the City that host wildlife or their habitat, most particularly species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species. SECTION 6. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 5 of this Resolution, the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves tentative Parcel Map No. 72340 (PLN-13-00158) and the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review (PLN-13-00147), subject to conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit A, which are necessary to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the community and enable the Planning Commission to make the findings set forth in the previous sections.
