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 Resolution No. 21-3144 Downey Planning Commission 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 fagade 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 PLN -20-00120 — 8300 Firestone Blvd. July 21, 2021 - Page 2 Resolution No. 21-3144 Downey Planning Commission 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, fagade 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 PLN -20-00120 — 8300 Firestone Blvd. July 21, 2021 - Page 3 Resolution No. 21-3144 Downey Planning Commission 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 PLN -20-00120 — 8300 Firestone Blvd July 21, 2021 - Page 4 Resolution No. 21-3144 Downey Planning Commission 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.
