PLN-20-00120A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW (PLN-20-00120) TO ALLOW THE REDEVELOPMENT OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SITE AND RECONFIGURATION OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING, TO INCLUDE A 3,033 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITY AND ACCESSORY MONUMENT SIGNAGE, ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8300 FIRESTONE BOULEVARD, ZONED DOWNTOWN DOWNEY SPECIFIC PLAN, SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT. BACKGROUND The project site is located at the southeast corner of Firestone Boulevard and Downey Avenue. The 29,900 square foot site is currently developed with a commercial building consisting of four tenant spaces. The subject site share vehicular access and parking with the adjacent commercial properties that includes Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, and a stand-alone building formerly occupied by Denny’s Restaurant. The existing two-story, four-tenant building includes the Legends Board Shop, and previously included Jenny Craig, a beauty salon, and an office use on the second floor. The property is located in the Downtown Downey Specific Plan (DDSP) – Firestone Boulevard Gateway District, and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use. The General Plan Land use designation for the surrounding properties include, Mixed Use to the north, east, and west of the site, and Office to the south. The surrounding properties are zoned Downey Downtown Specific Plan, and developed with commercial uses, zoned M-1 to the south, and developed with warehousing and manufacturing uses, zoned DDSP to the east, and developed with commercial uses, and zoned DDSP to the west and developed with commercial uses. On November 18, 2020, the applicant submitted an application requesting approval of a Specific Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review. After staff review, the application was deemed incomplete on December 18, 2020. The applicant submitted revised plans for staff’s review, and on June 24, 2021, the application was deemed complete. On July 8th, 2021, notice of the pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. Firestone Blvd. –Downey Ave. Intersection View PC Agenda Page 2 DISCUSSION The applicant proposes to reconfigure the existing, two-story commercial building to provide a 2nd floor office, a retail use of the rear of the building, and two restaurants, one of which will include a drive-through. There are three aspects to the applicant’s request: 1.Specific Plan Amendment o Amend the Downtown Downey Specific Plan (DDSP) to introduce, and create development and operation standards for a drive-through facility in the Firestone Boulevard Gateway District. o Amend the DDSP sign section to allow monument signs and menu boards in conjunction with drive-through restaurants. 2.Conditional Use Permit o Conditionally permit a drive-through facility in the DDSP; subject to City Council approval of the Specific Plan Amendment. 3.Site Plan Review o Remodel building façades and complete on-site improvements, including a new parking configuration, lighting, and landscaping. Specific Plan Amendment The DDSP was adopted September 28, 2010 and designed to transform Downtown Downey into a vibrant and pedestrian-friendly town center. In 2015, the DDSP was updated to allow businesses to enter into off-site parking agreements to encourage a park once approach intended to further the pedestrian activity in the Downtown. The DDSP has successfully facilitated transformation of the Downtown area as new businesses and restaurants seek to locate within the DDSP area. Redevelopment in the Downtown has helped it become a destination point for food and entertainment. As successful as the DDSP has been, there has been less development activity along the south side of Firestone Boulevard, between Downey Avenue and Brookshire Avenue. This area is a transitional portion of the Downtown because it connects the walkable pedestrian oriented downtown to the traditional commercial activity on Firestone Boulevard, east of Brookshire Avenue. This transitional area is made up of deeper lots than those located to the west of Downey Avenue, and have more in common with the properties to the east of Brookshire Avenue. As such, a lot in this transitional area would be eligible to accommodate the introduction of a drive-through use. After assessing the nature of the transitional area, a drive-through restaurant can be incorporated as it will balance local and regional appeal in this part of the Downtown. The subject site is located on a major thoroughfare and can provide convenient commercial opportunities to passer-by traffic along Firestone Boulevard, and introduce and attract customers to the area that would not normally stop on the way home or to work. The site contains a number of access points—a driveway entrance off Firestone Boulevard, three driveway entrances off Downey Avenue and additional access from the adjacent commercial property. Because the drive-through is a unique use, staff has prepared development and operational standards so that the use can complement the subject site and surrounding uses. PC Agenda Page 3 Proposed Text Amendment Should the Specific Plan Amendment be approved, the following sections of the DDSP will have to be amended to reflect the new use. The amendment will require that a restaurant with a drive-through facility require a Conditional Use Permit for the unique impacts that may be generated by such a use, such as, noise, on-site vehicular circulation, and traffic. The new standards will be added to address these concerns, consistent with the Downey Municipal Code for consistency throughout the City. The introduction of a drive-through use requires that Chapter 2, Section 2.3 – Permitted uses, Table 2.1 be amended to allow restaurants as conditionally permitted uses. Only a portion of Table 2.1 is shown as this is the only section of Table 2.1 that will be amended. The red, underlines are new changes, and strikethroughs are deletions. The changes are as follows: Table 2.1: Permitted Uses by Land Use District Permitted Uses by District Permitted Uses Key: C – Conditionally Permitted P – Permitted Use 2nd Permitted Use on Second Floor or above NP – Use Not Permitted T – Temporary Use A – Accessory Use Downtown Core Downtown Residential Firestone Boulevard Gateway Paramount Boulevard Professional Civic Center Eating and Drinking Establishments Alcoholic Beverage Sales, On- site o License Type 41 and 47 P P P P P o All other License Types C NP C C NP Catering Services C C P C NP Restaurants P P P P P Restaurants with Drive-Through Facilities NP NP NP C* NP NP Outdoor Patio Seating or Dining P P P P P *Refer to Section 2.4.5 – Restaurants with Drive-Through Facilities The introduction of a drive-through use also includes an amendment to Section 2.4 – Uses with Special Regulations, to introduce development standards for a restaurant with a drive-through facility. Chapter 2 – Land Use Districts, Section 2.4 – Uses with Special Regulations will be amended as follows: 2.4.5 Drive-Through Restaurants o Minimum Lot Size: 25,000 square feet; o Vehicular Access: o A minimum of two (2) driveways onto a public street are required. Access to the site must be by way of one Major Arterial and one primary or secondary arterial; PC Agenda Page 4 o A driveway entrance to a drive-through business shall not be within five (5) of a curb return; o The distance between driveways shall be at least twenty-five (25) feet; o Drive-Through Lane Standards. The required vehicle stacking space per service lane shall be as follows: o The drive-through lane may not be located between the building and Firestone Boulevard. o Before order board: 4 vehicles (minimum) o Between order board and pick-up window: 4 vehicles (minimum) o Each stacking space shall be computed on the basis of a vehicle being nine (9) feet in width and twenty (20) feet in length. Each stacking lane shall be a minimum of eleven (11) feet in width. o The stacking lane shall be independent of any on-site parking, parking maneuvering areas, public streets, or alley or traffic ways serving other on-site and/or off-site uses. The introduction of a drive-through use also includes an amendment to the sign section of the DDSP to allow monument signs in conjunction with a drive-through use. Chapter 3 – Urban Design Standards, Section 3.7 Signage Standards and Guidelines will be amended as follows: 3.7.3.A Permitted Signs within Downtown o Canopy or Awning o Marquee/Theater o Multiple-Tenant Complex o Projecting o Wall o Monument 3.7.4.G Monument Signs o Monument signs are only permitted in conjunction with a drive-through restaurant. o Maximum Sign Area. One-third (1/3) square foot per lineal footage of building frontage with a minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of sign area per side of the monument sign. o Maximum Sign Copy Area. Seventy five (75) percent of the sign area o Maximum Height. Eight (8) feet, unless the sign is within the intersection visibility triangle, in which case must comply with Section 9614.04(e) o Setback Requirements: Permitted within the front and street side setback, but not closer than five (5) feet from the street property line o Maximum Number of Signs: One per street frontage o Illumination Requirements. Internally illuminated or indirectly illuminated o Menu Boards and Directional signs per DMC Section 9612. Exempt Signs PC Agenda Page 5 Conditional Use Permit The applicant submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive-through facility in conjunction with one restaurant. This request can be considered by the Planning Commission but will be considered null and void if the Specific Plan Amendment introducing this use is not approved by the City Council. The proposed drive-through will be accessed by way of Downey Avenue. The drive-through lane is entered from the west and turns north, where vehicles will then travel through a semi- enclosed driveway and exit onto the north parking area. The drive-through lane will provide stacking for 11 vehicles, six before the menu board and five between the menu board and the pick-up window, which exceeds the queueing standards required for drive-through restaurants mentioned above. As proposed, the drive-through will comply with all standards introduced in the proposed amendment. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared by Kimley Horn, to assess the queuing capacity of the project, and how the project will interact with the surrounding area. The Drive-Through Queueing Analysis in the TIA analyzed the stacking capabilities of the proposed drive-through during AM and PM peak hours. The average queue length is estimated to be five vehicles, and the probability of exceeding 11 vehicles is estimated to be less than 10% during the peak hour. Once the project site is in full operation, the intersection will continue to operate at current level of service. Lastly, the TIA also analyzed the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). VMT is the total number of miles a person travels to reach a destination. Unlike Level of Service (LOS), it measures the amount of driving a person makes, where LOS measures how much congestion exists. For purposes of transportation analysis, VMT looks at how much driving a proposed project may cause, and LOS studies how much congestion it may cause. The proposed project is considered a local serving and is assumed to not have a VMT impact, as it is not anticipated to lead to longer local trips, thus reducing or maintaining regional VMT. As such, the project is not anticipated to create any significant transportation impacts. Based on the location of the project site, noise generated by the operation of the drive-through is not anticipated to be a concern, as the nearest residentially developed property is located approximately 275 feet north of the subject site (Avenue Apartments), and 670 feet to the south, across the railroad tracks. Much of the noise associated with the operation of the restaurant and more specifically, the drive-through speaker, will be drowned out by the ambient traffic noise, and noise generated by surrounding businesses. However, as with all businesses, a condition of approval has been added that requires the project must comply with the City’s noise ordinance. Site Plan Review The Site Plan Review (SPR) process requires an evaluation of all proposed site changes for compatibility with the surrounding area and compliance with the DDSP and Downey Municipal Code. The applicant proposes to reduce the existing building size, reconfigure the tenant spaces, add landscaping, and alter the parking configuration and circulation on site. Improvements of the parking lot will not require additional driveway entrances/exits, however, the two southernmost driveways along Downey Avenue will be modified to comply with current development standards. The southernmost driveway will be limited to exiting only, and the adjacent driveway will be limited for entry only; this driveway will provide access for the drive- through and the interior parking lot. After business hours, this drive aisle will serve as a loading area so that no interruptions occur during business operations. PC Agenda Page 6 Typical drive-through designs for corner properties have the drive-through lanes located between the building and the street(s), making them very conspicuous. This typical design would make the area appear less walkable and potentially conflict with the DDSP goals. The Specific Plan amendment includes standards that prohibit a drive-through lane to be located between the building and Firestone Boulevard. This requirement reduces the visual impact of a drive-through lane, and allows the site to be more pedestrian friendly. In this specific case, the building façade and outdoor seating area will be the focal elements of the project site while the drive-through is semi-concealed. Landscaping will be incorporated throughout the site, and will include 5-foot wide landscape planters along Firestone Boulevard, Downey Avenue, with additional landscaping along the drive-through lane and south of the building. The site will include approximately 2,990 square feet of new landscaping. The site will also include a new 350 square foot trash enclosure along the south property line and will comply with Department of Public Works standards. Parking As a result of the remodel, the building will be reduced in size to 10,871 square feet in area, reducing the amount of required parking. Additionally, the site shares parking with the adjacent commercial development. Overall, the subject site and the adjacent commercial development will provide 244 parking spaces. Based on the uses on the subject site and the adjacent commercial development, 220 parking spaces are required and 244 are provided, for a surplus of 24 parking spaces. Architecture A significant façade remodel is proposed for the existing building. The building will keep its existing contemporary architectural style with added modern elements to complement the existing design, creating an interesting juxtaposition between the old and new architectural elements proposed. Some of the more significant changes to the building include the removal of 2,050 square feet of the east section of the building to accommodate the proposed drive- through lane. The proposed drive-through design is unique in that the drive-through is architecturally incorporated into the building, concealing a portion of the vehicle stacking within the building itself. The building will be provided with a smooth stucco finish, painted china white. A steel wool (gray) paint color will provide contrasting accents to the building and new storefront entries. Glazing trimmed in dark gray aluminum will be provided along the front façade, along with a new dark gray steel tube trellis over two proposed outdoor seating areas. The existing stone veneer will remain on the front and west façade. The seating area will be surrounded by matching dark gray steel railing, and raised rectangular planters cladded with wood slats. W ood siding is proposed throughout the building exterior, including the rear of the building, where it will not only be provided on the planters, but will also screen the stairs and second floor landing. The west elevation, facing Downey Avenue, will include matching dark gray aluminum trim around the existing window area and the new proposed windows along the south portion of the façade. The applicant proposes to increase the building parapet heights, particularly over the rear portion of the building. This additional height will provide verticality to the building design and serve to screen any roof mounted mechanical equipment. PC Agenda Page 7 The proposed trash enclosure will be located along the rear property line and designed to match architectural elements of the main building, such as dark gray metal framing, a wood cladded door, and CMU walls painted china white, to match the building. The applicant is proposing to provide murals along the east, west, and south fascias of the building, including the walls of the second story portion of the building. The graphics shown on the building plans are placeholders for future murals. The applicant is presently in the process of selecting a muralist. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE The City’s Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed amendment, uses, and site improvements. The Police Department requested lights and security cameras throughout the site, including within the partially enclosed drive-through lane. The Public Works Department had concerns regarding the initial driveway widths and vehicular access to the site, and requested that landscaping not be provided between the building and the public right-of-way along the west façade. The driveways were widened to comply with Public Works’ concerns and landscaping was removed along the west side of the building. The Fire Department and Building Department provided standard conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Staff has reviewed the proposed Specific Plan Amendment, Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, staff has determined that this request is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15332 (Class 32 – In-Fill Development Projects). Class 32 exemptions consist of projects that are consistent with the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code, on a site no greater than five (5) acres and surrounded by urban uses, with no value as a habitat for threatened species, in which an approval would not result in any significant impacts and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities. FINDINGS Pursuant to Downey Municipal Code Section 9836.10, the Commission, prior to making written recommendations to the Council, and the Council prior to approving or approving with conditions or modifications a Specific Plan or Specific Plan amendment shall make all of the following findings: Specific Plan Amendment A.The proposed location of the development and proposed conditions under which it will be operated or maintained is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will create additional commercial opportunities within an area of the Specific Plan that has lacked significant improvement since the Specific Plan was adopted. The proposed amendment to conditionally permit a drive- through facility at the subject site is consistent with the following goals and policies of General Plan: PC Agenda Page 8 Goal 1.1 – Provide sufficient land areas for uses that serve the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses. o Policy 1.1.1.1. – Maintain a balance of land uses o Policy 1.1.5 – Provide an appropriate amount of land area for recreation and entertainment. o Program 1.1.5.2 – Promote Downtown Downey as a destination draw for entertainment and dining uses The proposed amendment introduces a new use on a site that has lacked economic investment since the adoption of the DDSP. The amendment to conditionally permit a restaurant with a drive-through facility will provide local and regional appeal to this part of Downtown and allow the site to compete with the commercial properties to the west. o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. The proposed amendment includes development standards that lead to the orderly development of the site and regulates this type of use and allowing the drive-through use to complement the subject site and surrounding uses, and not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City. B.The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of this article and the zone in which the site is located. The goal of the Downtown Downey Specific Plan, Firestone Boulevard Gateway District is to provide “lively areas consisting of high intensity/density development with flexible retail, office, and residential space”. The proposed amendment will provide an additional opportunity, such as a restaurant with a drive-through facility not presently permitted in the DDSP. C.The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to such a development, nor detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City. The proposed amendment will conditionally permit a drive-through facility at the subject site, in the Firestone Boulevard Gateway District of the DDSP. Development and operational standards have been incorporated into the proposed amendment to the DDSP so that the use will complement the site and transitional area of the Specific Plan subdistrict along with the surrounding uses. As proposed, the development standards incorporated through the amendment will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City and will complement the surrounding uses in the DDSP and the surrounding General Commercial areas of the City. D.The Specific Plan and resulting development will be consistent with the provisions of Article 8 of Chapter 3 of the California Government Code, commencing with Section 65450 as may be subsequently amended by the State. PC Agenda Page 9 The California Government Code sets forth specific requirements and standards for the content and adoption of Specific Plans. This includes that the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s General Plan. As noted in the first finding of this section, the proposed amendment to the Downtown Downey Specific Plan is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan in that the proposed amendment introduces a new use that maintains a balance of uses, promotes Downtown Downey as a destination draw for entertainment and dining uses, and promotes high quality architectural design and the upgrading of properties. Conditional Use Permit Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9824.06, there are four (4) findings that must be adopted prior to approving the Conditional Use Permit. The findings are as follows: A.The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the intent and purpose of this article or the City’s General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof; The project is consistent with all applicable goals and policies of the City’s General Plan; additionally the project’s revitalization of the site helps achieve various long-term goals. Specifically, the following policies are promoted by the proposed project: o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. o Program 1.1.4 – Provide an appropriate amount of land use for people to acquire goods and services. The proposed development promotes the above policies by facilitating access to the site and the goods offered. This will expand the type of goods and services available to the nearby community and general public. The project is designed and conditioned to be consistent with DDSP Section 3.4(2) – Urban Design Principles, as the project will revitalize the site and existing building with significant revitalization of the building and site. The project will incorporate much needed landscaping, an upgraded parking layout, a façade remodel, and a new conditionally permitted use; a restaurant with a drive- through facility. The drive-through use is designed to comply with the proposed development standards, and is conditioned to maintain all vehicle queuing on site, including providing security cameras and lighting throughout the site. The drive-through component of the project is intended to complement the subject site and surrounding uses and service the public convenience. B.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 proposed drive-through use is intended to complement a proposed restaurant, and will comply with development standards intended to complement the needs of the Specific Plan. The use is a common amenity typically found within major commercial corridors. The subject site is in a transitional portion of the Downtown because it connects the walkable pedestrian oriented downtown to the traditional commercial activity on Firestone Boulevard, east of Brookshire Avenue. The drive-through use, with its concealed drive-through lane, is appropriate for the subject site because it connects PC Agenda Page 10 the walkable pedestrian oriented downtown to the traditional commercial activity on Firestone Boulevard, east of Downtown. The project will provide adequate parking, as there is a shared parking agreement between the subject site and the adjacent commercial shopping center, and there is an excess of 24 parking spaces. C.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; and The site measures 29,900 square feet in area, and is developed with a 12,921 square foot building, that will be reduced in area to 10,871 square feet to accommodate the proposed drive-through lane. The proposed drive-through complies with both the development standards proposed in the Specific Plan Amendment and the Downey Municipal Code for a restaurant with an accessory drive-through facility. The project is designed to provide adequate vehicle stacking for 11 vehicles and parking supply to accommodate the proposed restaurant with a drive-through facility. In addition, the proposed improvement does not create alterations that would restrict future permitted uses from occupying the site or an existing use located within the nearby area. D.The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. According to the General Plan, Firestone Boulevard is a major arterial which is designed to accommodate the type of traffic that will be generated by this application request. Downey Avenue is considered a Secondary Arterial, and while not designed to have the same capacity as Firestone Boulevard, still provides four travel lanes, two in each direction, south of Firestone Boulevard. The Firestone Boulevard-Downey Avenue intersection presently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) C, which is described as “Occasionally, drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; back-ups may develop behind turning vehicles”. The City of Downey Level of Service standard for intersection operation is LOS D or better. If project traffic causes operations at an intersection to go from acceptable to unacceptable, the project would have a significant effect at the Firestone Boulevard-Downey Avenue intersection. Once in the project site is in full operation, the intersection will continue to operate at an acceptable LOS C. Therefore, the project will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. Site Plan Review Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9820.08, there are seven (7) findings that must be adopted prior to approving the Site Plan Review. The findings are as follows: A.The site plan is consistent with the goals and policies embodied in the General Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. The project’s objective to revitalize the site helps achieve various long-term goals, such as attracting new retailers to Downtown, and encourage investment to distinguish the Downtown as a Destination. Specifically, the following policies and programs are promoted by the proposed project: o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. PC Agenda Page 11 o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. o Program 1.1.4 – Provide an appropriate amount of land use for people to acquire goods and services. The proposed development promotes the above policies by facilitating access to the site and the goods offered. Development of the site will expand the type of goods and services available to the nearby community and general public. The site improvements and building remodel are also consistent with the DDSP, Section 3.4 (2) – Urban Design Principles, which encourages development and revitalization of both new and old architecture, and the reuse and revitalization of older structures. Lastly, the project includes a significant revitalization of the building and site, incorporating much needed landscaping, an upgraded parking layout, façade remodel, and a new use--a restaurant with a drive-through facility. B.The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of Article IX and the zone in which the site is located. The Specific Plan Amendment will conditionally permit restaurants with a drive-through facility, subject to specific development standards and allow compatible signage. The proposed project and site improvements are consistent with the DDSP, Section 3.4 (2) – Urban Design Principles, which encourages development and revitalization of both new and old architecture, and the reuse and revitalization of older structures. The proposed project includes a significant remodel of the existing building, incorporates complementary modern, architectural treatments, and protects the distinctive stonework. Development of the site includes a drive-through that will not visually affect Firestone Boulevard, in compliance with the proposed development standards. The site improvements and remodel are consistent with Article IX and comply with the specific development standards designed to permit a restaurant with a drive-through facility. C.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 proposed design of the project will provide aesthetically pleasing architecture and landscaping. The project will include an upgrade to the current architectural design of the building by incorporating modern elements through a new color scheme, new materials such as a steel tube trellis over the outdoor seating areas, new store fronts, wood cladding throughout the building, and landscape areas. The outdoor seating areas will complement and correspond with the successful commercial development across Downey Avenue, as well as provide the convenience typically associated with drive- through facility in standard general commercial areas. The site will also introduce a significant amount of landscaping, portions of which will serve as a buffer between the on-site parking and Firestone Boulevard and Downey Avenue. D.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. PC Agenda Page 12 The application includes a reconfiguration and remodel of an existing building, with improvements to the existing parking areas, as well as the introduction of new landscaping throughout the site. The proposed site improvements will soften the appearance of the site, and provide buffers between the on-site parking areas, Firestone Boulevard, and Downey Avenue. Access to the site is provided by way of Firestone Boulevard, Downey Avenue, and from the shared access between the subject site and the adjacent commercial development. The project will introduce a new drive-through lane, however, the lane will not negatively impact existing on-site vehicular circulation, as the drive-through lane is separated from the rest of the on-site driveway aisles by landscape planters. The site also offers a driveway aisle that serves as additional access to the parking area should the drive-through lane ever be at capacity. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared for this project to evaluate potential impacts of improvements and new a drive-through facility. The TIA indicated that there would be sufficient queueing capacity for the proposed restaurant, and the introduction of the new restaurant with a drive-through facility would not negatively impact the existing Level of Service at the Firestone Boulevard and Downey Avenue intersection. E.The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities. The proposed project incorporates contemporary architectural elements, while preserving certain architectural features that make the building unique, namely, the stonework. The proposed architectural improvements are neither dissimilar nor monotonous from other buildings in the area and the project will upgrade the overall appearance of the site, which in turn, improves the community appearance. The proposed development will be in keeping with the quality of design of more recent commercial developments in the area. F.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 proposed architectural and site improvements are a significant upgrade to the existing facilities on site, and are compatible with surrounding properties. In addition, the redevelopment of this site can serve as an example for higher quality architecture for future developments within the City of Downey. Lastly, the proposed development and operational standards proposed in the Specific Plan Amendment, as well as the proposed conditions of approval, were developed to ensure that any potential effects in public health, safety, comfort and general welfare are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The site will include delineating marks throughout the site and at all driveway entrances and exits to distinguish ingress and egress onto the site, signage and pavement markings prohibiting traffic from entering the site from the adjacent commercial property onto the “entrance only” driveway aisle off Downey Avenue. G.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. The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements specified in Section 4960 of the Downey Municipal Code. Section 4960 discusses the installation of anti-graffiti PC Agenda Page 13 materials and the appropriate allotted time limit for the removal of graffiti. As part of this project, staff is recommending several conditions of approval, which include the use of graffiti resistant materials in the construction of the building. Should any graffiti appear on the site, staff has recommended an additional condition of approval that the applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application. With these conditions, the design features included will be in accordance with Section 4960 of the Municipal Code. CORRESPONDENCE As of the date that this report was printed, staff has not received any correspondence regarding this application. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis contained within this report, staff concludes that all findings required for approval can be made in a positive manner. As such, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review (PLN-20-00120), subject to the recommended conditions of approval, and recommend the City Council approve the amendments to the Downtown Downey Specific Plan.

The site is served by existing utilities and a Traffic Impact Analysis was conducted, and it was determined that the proposed project would have no impact on the existing level of traffic. SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings regarding the Specific Plan Amendments, the Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that: 1.The proposed location of the development and proposed conditions under which it will be operated or maintained is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. The PC Agenda Page 17 proposed Specific Plan Amendment will create additional commercial opportunities within an area of the Specific Plan that has lacked significant improvement since the Specific Plan was adopted. The proposed amendment to conditionally permit a drive- through facility at the subject site is consistent with the following goals and policies of General Plan: Goal 1.1 – Provide sufficient land areas for uses that serve the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses. o Policy 1.1.1.1. – Maintain a balance of land uses o Policy 1.1.5 – Provide an appropriate amount of land area for recreation and entertainment. o Program 1.1.5.2 – Promote Downtown Downey as a destination draw for entertainment and dining uses The proposed amendment introduces a new use in an area that has lacked economic investment since the adoption of the DDSP. The amendment to conditionally permit a restaurant with a drive-through facility will provide local and regional appeal to this part of Downtown and allow the site to compete with the commercial properties to the west. o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. The proposed amendment includes development standards that lead to the orderly development of the site and regulates this type of use and allowing the drive-through use to complement the subject site and surrounding uses, and not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City. 2.The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of this article and the zone in which the site is located. The goal of the Downtown Downey Specific Plan, Firestone Boulevard Gateway District is to provide “lively areas consisting of high intensity/density development with flexible retail, office, and residential space”. The proposed amendment will provide additional opportunities, such as a restaurant with a drive-through facility not presently permitted in the DDSP. 3.The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to such a development, nor detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City. The proposed amendment will conditionally permit a drive-through facility at the subject site, in the Firestone Boulevard Gateway District of the DDSP. Development and operational standards have been incorporated into the proposed amendment to the DDSP so that the use will complement the site and transitional area of the Specific Plan subdistrict along with the surrounding uses. As proposed, the development standards incorporated through the amendment will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City and will complement the surrounding uses in the DDSP and the surrounding General Commercial areas of the City. 4.The Specific Plan and resulting development will be consistent with the provisions of Article 8 of Chapter 3 of the California Government Code, commencing with Section 65450 as may be subsequently amended by the State. The California Government Code sets forth specific requirements and standards for the content and adoption of Specific PC Agenda Page 18 Plans. This includes that the Specific Plan is consistent with the City’s General Plan. As noted in the first finding of this section, the proposed amendment to the Downtown Downey Specific Plan is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan in that the proposed amendment introduces a new use that maintains a balance of uses, promotes Downtown Downey as a destination draw for entertainment and dining uses, and promotes high quality architectural design and the upgrading of properties. SECTION 4.

PC Agenda Page 20 SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of July, 2021. _____________________ Miguel Duarte, Chairman City Planning Commission I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of a Resolution adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Downey at a regular meeting thereof, held on the 21st day of July, 2021, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: _______________________ Mary Cavanagh, Secretary City Planning Commission PC Agenda Page 21 RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW (PLN-20- 00120) TO ALLOW THE REDEVELOPMENT OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SITE AND RECONFIGURATION OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING, TO INCLUDE A 3,033 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITY AND ACCESSORY MONUMENT SIGNAGE, ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8300 FIRESTONE BOULEVARD, ZONED DOWNTOWN DOWNEY SPECIFIC PLAN, SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT. 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.On November 18, 2020, the applicant submitted a request for a Specific Plan Amendment, Site Plan Review, and Conditional Use Permit for the remodel and reconfiguration of an existing 29,886 square foot site with the addition of a restaurant with drive-through facilities. The project was deemed incomplete on December 18, 2020; and, B.On May 24, 2021 the applicant submitted additional information, and on June 24, 2020, the application was deemed complete; and, C.On July 8, 2021, notice of the pending application and public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and an 1/8th page ad and mailed to all property owners within 500' of the subject site; and, D.The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 21, 2021, and after fully considering all oral and written testimony and facts and opinions offered at the aforesaid public hearing adopted this resolution recommending approval of Specific Plan Amendment (PLN-20-00120) to the City Council. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that the proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and is categorially exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section 15332 (Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects). Class 32 consists of projects that are consistent with the city’s general plan and municipal code, on a site no greater than five (5) acres and surrounded by urban uses, with no value as a habitat for threatened species, in which an approval would not result in any significant impacts and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities. 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: A.The requested Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the intent and purpose of this article or the City’s General Plan or the public convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood thereof. The project is consistent with all applicable goals and policies of the City’s General Plan; additionally the project’s revitalization of the site helps achieve various long-term goals. Specifically, the following policies are promoted by the proposed PC Agenda Page 22 project: o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. o Program 1.1.4 – Provide an appropriate amount of land use for people to acquire goods and services. The proposed development promotes the above policies by facilitating access to the site and the goods offered. This will expand the type of goods and services available to the nearby community and general public. The project is designed and conditioned to be consistent with DDSP Section 3.4(2) – Urban Design Principles, as the project will revitalize the site and existing building with significant revitalization of the building and site. The project will incorporate much needed landscaping, an upgraded parking layout, a façade remodel, and a new conditionally permitted use; a restaurant with a drive-through facility. The drive- through use is designed to comply with the proposed development standards, and is conditioned to maintain all vehicle queuing on site, including providing security cameras and lighting throughout the site. The drive-through component of the project is intended to complement the subject site and surrounding uses and service the public convenience. B.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 proposed drive-through use is intended to complement a proposed restaurant, and will comply with development standards intended to complement the needs of the Specific Plan. The use is a common amenity typically found within major commercial corridors. This area is a transitional portion of the Downtown because it connects the walkable pedestrian oriented downtown to the traditional commercial activity on Firestone Boulevard, east of Brookshire Avenue. The drive-through use, with its concealed drive-through lane, is appropriate for the subject site because it connects the walkable pedestrian oriented downtown to the traditional commercial activity on Firestone Boulevard, east of the Downtown. The project will provide adequate parking, as there is a shared parking agreement between the subject site and the adjacent commercial shopping center, and there is an excess of 24 parking spaces. C.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 site measures 29,900 square feet in area, and is developed with a 12,921 square foot building, that will be reduced in area to 10,871 square feet to accommodate the proposed drive-through lane. The proposed drive-through complies with both the development standards proposed in the Specific Plan Amendment and the Downey Municipal Code for restaurants with accessory drive-through facilities. The project is designed to provide adequate vehicle stacking for 11 vehicles and parking supply to accommodate the proposed restaurant with drive-through facilities. In addition, the proposed improvement does not create alterations that would restrict future permitted uses from occupying the site or an existing use located within the nearby area. D.The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. According to the General Plan, Firestone PC Agenda Page 23 Boulevard is a major arterial which is designed to accommodate the type of traffic that will be generated by this application request. Downey Avenue is considered a Secondary Arterial, and while not designed to have the same capacity as Firestone Boulevard, still provides four travel lanes, two in each direction, south of Firestone Boulevard. The Firestone Boulevard-Downey Avenue intersection presently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) C, which is described as “Occasionally, drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; back- ups may develop behind turning vehicles”. The City of Downey Level of Service standard for intersection operation is LOS D or better. If project traffic causes operations at an intersection to go from acceptable to unacceptable, the project would have a significant effect at the Firestone Boulevard-Downey Avenue intersection. Once in the project site is in full operation, the intersection will continue to operate at an acceptable LOS C. Therefore, the project will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways in the area. 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: A.The site plan is consistent with all applicable goals and policies specified in the City’s General Plan and policies adopted by the City Council. The project’s objective to revitalize the site helps achieve various long-term goals, such as attracting new retailers to Downtown, and encourage investment to distinguish the Downtown as a Destination. Specifically, the following policies and programs are promoted by the proposed project: o Policy 8.1.1 – Promote architectural design of the highest quality. o Policy 8.2.2 – Promote the upgrading of properties. o Program 1.1.4 – Provide an appropriate amount of land use for people to acquire goods and services. The proposed development promotes the above policies by facilitating access to the site and the goods offered. Development of the site will expand the type of goods and services available to the nearby community and general public. The site improvements and building remodel are also consistent with the DDSP, Section 3.4 (2) – Urban Design Principles, which encourages development and revitalization of both new and old architecture, and the reuse and revitalization of older structures. Lastly, the project includes a significant revitalization of the building and site, incorporating much needed landscaping, an upgraded parking layout, façade remodel, and a new use--a restaurant with drive-through facilities. B.The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of Article IX and the zone in which the site is located. The Specific Plan Amendment will conditionally permit restaurants with drive-through facilities and subject to specific development standards and allow compatible signage. The proposed project and site improvements is consistent with the DDSP, Section 3.4 (2) – Urban Design Principles, which encourages development and revitalization of both new and old architecture, and the reuse and revitalization of older structures. The proposed project includes a significant remodel of the existing building, incorporates complementary modern, architectural treatments, and PC Agenda Page 24 protects the distinctive stone veneer. Development of the site includes a drive- through that will not visually affect Firestone Boulevard, in compliance with the proposed development standards. The site improvements and remodel are consistent with Article IX and comply with the specific development standards designed to permit restaurants with drive-through facilities. C.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 proposed design of the project will provide aesthetically pleasing architecture and landscaping. The project will include an upgrade to the current architectural design of the building by incorporating modern elements through a new color scheme, new materials such as a steel tube trellis over the outdoor seating area, new store fronts, wood cladding throughout the building, and landscape areas. The outdoor seating area will complement and correspond with the successful commercial development across Downey Avenue, as well as provide the convenience typically associated with drive-through facilities in standard general commercial areas. The site will also introduce a significant amount of landscaping, portions of which will serve as a buffer between the on-site parking and Firestone Boulevard and Downey Avenue. D.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 application includes a reconfiguration and remodel of an existing building, with improvements to the existing parking areas, as well as the introduction of new landscaping throughout the site. The proposed site improvements will soften the appearance of the site, and provide buffers between the on-site parking areas, Firestone Boulevard, and Downey Avenue. Access to the site is provided by way of Firestone Boulevard, Downey Avenue, and from the shared access between the subject site and the adjacent commercial development. The project will introduce a new drive-through lane, however, the lane will not negatively impact existing on-site vehicular circulation. The drive- through lane is separated from the rest of the on-site driveway aisles by landscape planters. The site also offers a driveway aisle that serves as additional access to the parking area should the drive-through lane ever be at capacity. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared for this project to evaluate potential impacts of improvements and new drive-through facilities. The TIA indicated that there would be sufficient queueing capacity for the proposed restaurant, and the introduction of the new restaurant with drive-through facilities would not negatively impact the existing Level of Service at the Firestone Boulevard and Downey Avenue intersection. E.The proposed development will improve the community appearance by preventing extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in alterations of facilities. The proposed project incorporates contemporary architectural elements, while preserving certain architectural features that make the building unique, namely, the stonework. The proposed architectural PC Agenda Page 25 improvements are neither dissimilar nor monotonous from other buildings in the area and the project will upgrade the overall appearance of the site, which in turn, improves the community appearance. The proposed development will be in keeping with the quality of design, of more recent commercial developments in the area. F.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 proposed architectural and site improvements are a significant upgrade to the existing facilities on site, and are compatible with surrounding properties. The proposed development and operational standards proposed in the Specific Plan Amendment, as well as the proposed conditions of approval, were developed to ensure that any potential effects in public health, safety, comfort and general welfare are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The site will include delineating marks throughout the site and at all driveway entrances and exits to distinguish ingress and egress onto the site, signage and pavement markings prohibiting traffic from entering the site from the adjacent commercial property onto the “entrance only” driveway aisle off Downey Avenue. G.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. The project has been conditioned to meet the requirements specified in Section 4960 of the Downey Municipal Code. Section 4960 discusses the installation of anti-graffiti materials and the appropriate allotted time limit for the removal of graffiti. As part of this project, staff is recommending several conditions of approval, which include the use of graffiti resistant materials in the construction of the building. Should any graffiti appear on the site, staff has recommended an additional condition of approval that the applicant have it removed within 48 hours of application. With these conditions, the design features included will be in accordance with Section 4960 of the Municipal Code. SECTION 5. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 4 of this Resolution, the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review (PLN-20-00120), subject to City Council approval of Specific Plan Amendment (PLN-20-00120), and the 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. The conditions are fair and reasonable for the accomplishment of these purposes. SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

Date: July 2, 2021 Subject: Focused Traffic Analysis for the Proposed 8300 Firestone Boulevard Project in the City of Downey This Focused Traffic Analysis memorandum has been prepared for the proposed 8300 Firestone Boulevard project in the City of Downey. The Focused Traffic Analysis includes an evaluation of the trip generation, trip distribution, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), on-site parking, and drive- through queuing capacity of the proposed project. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located on the southeast corner of Downey Avenue at Firestone Boulevard in the City of Downey. For the purposes of this report, Downey Avenue is considered to run in the north-south direction, and Firestone Boulevard is considered a run in the east-west direction. A location map is shown on Figure 1. The site is currently occupied by a commercial center building that includes approximately 10,178 square feet (SF) of commercial uses on the first floor, and approximately 2,508 SF of office use on the second floor, for a total building square footage of approximately 12,686 SF. The applicant proposes to redevelop the first floor of the building to include an approximately 3,033- square-foot drive-through restaurant, approximately 1,701 SF of a restaurant use, and approximately 3,102 SF of retail use, for a total first floor square footage of 7,836 SF . A portion of the existing building will be demolished to accommodate the drive-through lane. A copy of the project site plan is provided on Figure 2. Vehicular access provisions for the project site would be primarily provided via three existing driveways on Downey Avenue and one existing driveway on Firestone Boulevard. The north existing driveway on Downey Avenue would continue to be a right-in-right-out (RIRO) only driveway. The middle full-movement driveway on Downey Avenue would become an “Entrance Only” driveway and the south driveway on Downey Ave would become a right-out only driveway. PC Agenda Page 38 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 2 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 The on-site drive aisle aligned with the middle driveway would have “KEEP CLEAR” striping (as shown on the site plan) so that the drive-through queue does not block the drive aisle. The existing driveway on Firestone Boulevard would continue to operate as a RIRO only driveway. All project driveways would be unsignalized. LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) ANALYSIS This focused traffic analysis has been prepared in accordance with the City of Downey traffic analysis requirements and the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan (CMP). There are no designated CMP facilities in the project study area; therefore, a separate CMP analysis is not required. Analysis Scenarios This traffic analysis will provide an evaluation of morning and evenin g peak hour operations for the following scenarios: ·Existing Conditions ·Existing Plus Project The following study intersection is included in the analysis: 1.Downey Avenue at Firestone Boulevard Intersection Analysis – HCM Methodology Peak hour intersection operations were evaluated using the methods prescribed in the Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition (HCM). The intersection analysis was conducted using the Vistro software program. Per the HCM Methodology, LOS for signalized intersections is defined in terms of average vehicle delay. Specifically, LOS criteria are stated in terms of the average control delay per vehicle during the peak hours. The average control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, and final acceleration time in addition to the stop delay. A summary description of each Level of Service and the corresponding delay is provided below. PC Agenda Page 39 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 3 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS Level of Service Signalized: HCM Unsignalized: HCM Description Delay (sec) Delay (sec) A < 10 ≤10 EXCELLENT – No vehicle waits longer than one red light, and no approach phase is fully used. B > 10 – 20 > 10 and ≤ 15 VERY GOOD – An occasional approach phase is fully utilized; drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of vehicles. C > 20 – 35 > 15 and ≤ 25 GOOD – Occasionally, drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; back-ups may develop behind turning vehicles. D > 35 – 55 > 25 and ≤ 35 FAIR – Delays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive back-ups. E > 55 – 80 > 35 and ≤ 50 POOR – Represents the most vehicles that the intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. F > 80 > 50 FAILURE – Back-ups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue lengths. LOS = Level of Service; ICU = Intersection Capacity Utilization; HCM = Highway Capacity Manual; V/C = volume-to-capacity Source: Highway Capacity Manual, 6th Edition LOS Standards and Measure of Significance The City of Downey Level of Service standard for intersection operation is Level of Service D or better. If project traffic causes operations at an intersection to go from acceptable to unacceptable, the project would have a significant effect at the intersection. PC Agenda Page 40 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 4 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Existing Traffic Volumes Existing lane configurations and traffic control at the study intersections are shown on Figure 3. Existing peak hour turning movement counts were not collected due to the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects on typical traffic patterns. A historical count from December 2015 was obtained from a third-party count company. Consistent with the Los Angeles County CMP, a growth rate of 5% (1% per year) was applied to the historical counts to bring the volumes to Year 2020. The resulting existing baseline traffic volumes are also presented on Figure 3. Peak hour intersection traffic count worksheets are provided in Appendix A. Peak Hour Operating Conditions Intersection Level of Service analysis was conducted for the AM and PM peaks hour using the analysis procedures and assumptions described previously in this report. The results of the intersection analysis for Existing Conditions are shown on Table 1. Review of the table indicates the study intersection currently operates at an acceptable Level of Service during both peak hours. Intersection analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix B. TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Project trip generation estimates are based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) trip rates. Existing trip credits and pass-by reduction factors (based on the ITE Trip Generation Handbook 3rd Edition) were applied. Trip generation rates and the resulting trip generation estimates during the AM and PM peak hours for the proposed project are summarized in Table 2. After applying existing trip credits and accounting for pass-by trips, the project is estimated to generate approximately 983 net new daily weekday trips, 61 net new AM peak hour weekday trips (31 inbound and 30 outbound), and 47 net new PM peak hour weekday trips (28 inbound and 19 outbound). Project trip distribution assumptions were developed based on existing travel patterns, and the likely origins and destinations of site employees and patrons. Trip distribution assumptions and the resulting AM and PM peak hour trip assignments are shown on Figure 4. PC Agenda Page 41 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 5 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS This section addresses the effects associated with adding project-related trips to Existing Conditions traffic volumes. The Existing Plus Project scenario assumes that the Project would be fully implemented at the present time, with no other changes to area traffic volumes or to the street network serving the site. Peak Hour Intersection Operations Project-related trips were added to existing traffic volumes to develop forecasts for the Existing Plus Project Condition. The resulting peak hour traffic volumes are shown on Figure 5. The results of the intersection analysis for Existing Plus Project Conditions indicate the study intersection would continue to operate at an acceptable Level of Service during both peak hours. Intersection analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix B. VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED (VMT) ANALYSIS Senate Bill (SB) 743 was approved by the California legislature in September 2013, requiring changes to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) methodology, specifically directing the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop alternative metrics to the use of vehicular “level of service” (LOS) for evaluating transportation projects. OPR published the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Technical Advisory) in December 2018 providing recommendations for the preparation of transportation impact analysis under SB 743, suggesting Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) to replace LOS as the primary measure of transportation impacts. The Technical Advisory requires local agencies to update their transportation procedures by July 1, 2020 or the state guidelines would go into effect. The Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December 2018), prepared by the governor’s Office of Planning and Research, identifies that by adding retail opportunities into the urban fabric and thereby improving retail destination proximity, local- serving retail development tends to shorten trips and reduce VMT. Generally, retail developments including stores less than 50,000 square feet are considered local- serving. The proposed project is less than 50,000 square feet and is not anticipated to lead to longer local trips; thus, reducing or maintaining regional VMT. As such, the project may be presumed to create a less than significant transportation impact. PC Agenda Page 42 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 6 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 ON-SITE PARKING ASSESSMENT City staff has requested a shared parking assessment be conducted to justify any adjustment of parking requirements from Section 5.4.1 of the Downtown Downey Specific Plan. Ultimately, this assessment will help determine whether the project will satisfy the peak parking demand with the proposed parking supply, based on the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Shared Parking (3rd Edition) methodology. City of Downey Parking Requirements The Downtown Downey Specific Plan parking requirements (Section 5.4.1) outlines the minimum number of parking spaces per square foot by land use in the downtown area. This section of the Downtown Downey Specific Plan can be found in Appendix C. These requirements were used to determine the adequacy of the number of parking spaces within the entire proposed shopping center. The minimum parking requirements for the proposed land uses are as follows: Restaurants ·1 space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area General Commercial ·1 space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area Professional Office ·1 space for every 350 square feet of gross floor area Required Parking – Proposed Conditions A summary of the parking requirements for the entire proposed shopping center is shown in Table 3. Per the requirements noted above, the proposed parking requirement for the shopping center would be 171 parking spaces. The shopping center would provide 244 parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 73 parking spaces. SHARED PARKING Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking Assessment The Urban Land Institute (ULI) documents shared parking characteristics in their Shared Parking, 3rd Edition Publication. Furthermore, the ULI parking rates reflect the distribution between customer and employee parking demand, and adjusts the overall demand based on monthly and hourly peak demands. Generally, shared land uses within a single development can experience peak parking demands at various times throughout the day and would therefore not require the full parking for all land uses involved. PC Agenda Page 43 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 7 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 The ULI Shared Parking methodology is a multi-step process that, first, establishes the stand- alone peak parking requirements for individual uses, such as office, retail, restaurant, and health club uses. The methodology then applies a percentage to the peak requirement for each use, for each hour of the day between the hours of 6:00 AM and midnight, reflecting the fact that the parking demand for each use varies throughout the course of the day. Beneficial shared parking synergies exist between different uses whose peak operating times occur at different times of the day. An example of complementary uses for shared parking purposes are office and theatre. When the office parking demand is at 100% (at 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning on a weekday), the theatre parking demand is at 0%, according to the ULI Shared Parking document, Table 2-5. Conversely, when the theatre parking demand is at 100% (from 8:00 to 10:00 on a weekend night, the office has virtually no parking demand. These two uses, then, can share all or a portion of the same parking supply without detriment to the other, rather than each providing their own distinct and complete parking study. The ULI study also identifies monthly variations in parking demand for each use for each month of the year. Parking demand for retail peaks in the month of December, during the holiday season, and is at less than 75% from January through October. A health club, on the other hand, is at its peak during January. Each of these factors is applied to the existing condition and incorporated into spreadsheets, which are summarized and provided in Appendix C. Applying these factors to a particular mix of integrated land uses yields a projected peak parking requirement, at a particular time of day (weekday and weekend) and season. In theory, the actual parking needs for that mix of uses will not exceed the projected peak, due to the interrelationships and benefits of shared parking synergies. Based on ULI’s shared parking methodology, the shopping center parking demand by use equates to a shared parking reduction of approximately 5% on a typical weekend. After applying this shared parking reduction to the City’s parking requirement for the proposed project of 171 parking spaces, the adjusted peak parking demand for the proposed project would be 163 parking spaces. The site will provide 244 parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 81 parking spaces, based on the shared parking analysis. Based on the shared parking synergies and fluctuations in peak parking patterns on a monthly, daily, and hourly basis, the parking demand for the combination of land uses would be accommodated with the proposed parking supply. PC Agenda Page 44 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 8 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 DRIVE-THROUGH QUEUING ANALYSIS A drive-through queuing analysis has been conducted for the proposed restaurant with drive- through, to evaluate the adequacy of the drive-through lane queuing capacity. The opening to the drive-through lane would be located just south of the middle driveway on Downey Avenue, and wrap along the east side of the proposed project building. The middle driveway will have two entrance lanes, with one lane directing vehicles to the drive-through lane entrance, and the other directing vehicles to other destinations in the shopping center. The drive- through would provide one entry lanes and one order board. There will be approximately 125 feet of total queuing lane capacity from the opening of the drive-through lane to the order board and approximately 110 feet from the order board to the pick-up window. This would provide a total drive-through queue length of approximately 235 feet, for a drive-through queuing capacity of 11 vehicles, assuming 22 feet per vehicle, from the beginning of the drive-through lane to the pick-up window. Drive-through Queue Length Calculation The drive-through queuing capacity of the project site will be analyzed using queuing analysis formulas published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Transportation Planning Handbook, 3rd Edition. Based on information provided by the Applicant, it is assumed that 45 vehicles will use the drive- through during the peak hour. Also, it is assumed that a vehicle is being processed and progressing through the order board and pick-up window every 65 seconds. After applying the ITE queuing formulas, the analysis indicated that the average queue length is estimated to be 5 vehicles (calculated at 4.13 and rounded up to 5), and the probability of exceeding 11 vehicles is estimated to be 9.18% during the peak hour. The queuing calculation worksheet and formulas are provided as Appendix E of this report. The occurrence of the drive-through queue extending beyond the opening of the drive-through lane is expected to be an infrequent occurrence, and of short duration. PC Agenda Page 45 Ms. Landavazo, July 2, 2021, Page 9 kimley-horn.com 1100 Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 CONCLUSION The proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 983 net new daily trips, 61 net new AM peak hour trips (31 inbound and 30 outbound), and 47 net new PM peak hour weekday trips (28 inbound and 19 outbound). Under Existing Plus Project conditions, the study intersection of Downey Avenue at Firestone Boulevard would continue to operate at an acceptable Level of Service. The proposed project has been determined to be a local-serving retail use under 50,000 square feet and it is not anticipated to lead to longer trips, thus reducing the regional VMT. Therefore, the project may be presumed to create a less than significant transportation impact per Senate Bill 743. Primary vehicular access provisions for the project site would be provided via three existing driveways on Downey Avenue and one existing driveway on Firestone Boulevard. The north existing driveway on Downey Avenue will continue to be a right-in-right-out (RIRO) only driveway. The middle full-movement driveway on Downey Avenue would become an “Entrance Only” driveway and the south driveway on Downey Ave would become a right-out only driveway. The on-site drive aisle aligned with the middle driveway would have “KEEP CLEAR” striping (as shown on the site plan) so that the drive-through queue does not block the drive aisle. The existing driveway on Firestone Boulevard would continue to operate as a right-turn in and right- turn out only driveway. All project driveways would be unsignalized. Per the parking requirements from the Section 5.4.1 of the Downtown Downey Specific Plan, the proposed parking requirement for the shopping center would be 171 parking spaces. The shopping center would provide 244 parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 73 parking spaces. Based on ULI’s shared parking methodology, the shopping center parking demand by use equates to a shared parking reduction of approximately 5% on a typical weekend. The adjusted peak parking demand for the entire shopping center would be 163 parking spaces, resulting in a surplus of 81 parking spaces. The proposed restaurant’s drive-through lane would provide a total queue length of approximately 235 feet, for a queuing capacity of 11 vehicles, assuming 22 feet per vehicle, from the beginning of the drive-through lanes to the pick-up window. Based on ITE queuing formulas, the average queue length is estimated to be 5 vehicles, and the probability of exceeding 11 vehicles is estimated to be 9.18% during the peak hour.
