Ul..,I;. {IY' v,,~ TO: Mayor and City council FROM: City staff SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Allow the Construction of a Ten-Unit Condominium at 1702 Appian Way. Applicant: Santa Monica Hotel Associates, Ltd. Appellant: Sharon Gilpin INTRODUCTION This report recommends that the city Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit 90~084 to allow the construction of a two-story, ten-unit condominium with a 24-space subterranean parking garage at 1702 Appian Way. At the Planning Commission meeting of March 25/ 1992, the Commission approved the project by a vote of five in favor and one against, with one commissioner absent. The Planning staff recommended approval of the conditional USg Permit. An appeal of the Planning Commission approval has been filed. BACKGROUND The proposed project was originally scheduled for Planning Comm~ssion review on January 30, 1991. Just prior to the Commission hearing, it was determined that the 361 tall structure was inconsistent with the Land Use Element/Oceanfront District height limit of 30 I. At that time, the applicant agreed to redesign and continue the project to a future hearing. Over the - 1 - 7-1} OCT ') ,-., ., ~fiQ2 ,. , OCT"' f\ iM? L" v Iv....... ~ , ~> , . . next few months, staff had several contacts with the applicant regarding a redesign of the project. As stated in a letter from the applicant dated April 11, 1991, the applicant agreed to redesign the project as suggested by staff in order to conform to the General Plan. On June 7, 1991, staff received a letter from the applicant stating that he was redesigning the proj ect in order to conform with the General Plan and would submit revised plans in one to two weeks. In August of 1991, the applicant met with staff and proposed a two-story, 30' tall, four-unit condominium. It was the applicant I S intent to process the four-unit proj ect under the original application. Following the August meeting with the applicant, staff reviewed the four-unit proposal with the City Attorney's office and it was determined that the revised project would constitute a substantial change and therefore require a new application. The new application would be subject to Proposition R, so the applicant would be required to provide on-site inclusionary units. Under the original application, the applicant had the option of either providing the inclusionary units or paying an in-lieu fee. On October 14, 1991, in spite of staff's direction, the applicant submitted a letter to staff stating that the applicant intended to pursue the original project as submitted and requesting that the item be set for planning Commission hearing. On January 8, 1992, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed 3-story, 12- unit design, and based on the fact the the project was inconsis- tent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, directed the .. ~~ "' .. , ') - 2 - applicant to redesign and return with a proposal that was consis- tent with the Oceanfront District standards in the Land Use Ele- ment. The Planning commission continued the item to March 25, 1992. At the Planning Commission meeting of March 25, 1992, the Commis- sion approved a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed ten-unit, two-story condominium building subject to the findings and condi- tions contained in the attached statement of Official Action (At- tachment A). A more complete project description is contained in the attached Planning Commission staff Report (Attachment B). In a separate action, the Commission also approved a motion direct- ing the Landmarks Commission to review the potential historic significance of the two existing structures on the property, which were built in 1922. On April 8, 1992, Planning Commissioner Sharon Gilpin appealed the approval of the Conditional Use Permit based on her concern about the demolition of the two existing structures. Commis- sioner Gilpin contends that the issue of the historic sig- nificance should be addressed prior to the approval of the re- placement project. There are no requirements in the City'S rules and regulations to review the historical significance of the ex- isting structure prior to the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Moreover, according to section 9048.1(d) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code (Attachment C), no demolition of buildings or structures built prior to 1930 shall be permitted unless the - 3 - demolition permit application is reviewed by the Landmarks Com- mission and no application for landmark designation is filed within 30 days from receipt of a complete application. The Landmarks Commission normally reviews the potential historic significance of a building when an applicant applies for a de- molition permit. At this time a demolition permit has not been filed. However, based on the Planning commission I s direction, the Landmarks commission reviewed the buildings on August 10, 1992. The Landmarks Commission concluded that based on the ar- chitectural quality of the buildings, they did not believe that the buildings would merit designation as a City landmark. However, the Commission stated that if the buildings were in- cluded in the final results of the Phase III Historic Resources Inventory, they would be eligible for structure of merit designation. Conclusion The project is a permitted use in the proposed location and is consistent with the R3 standards contained in the Zoning Or- dinance. As designed, the project complies with the 301 height limi t contained in the Oceanfront District of the Land Use and circulation Element of the General Plan. The propo~ed two-story, ten-unit development is similar to the original three-story, twelve-unit proj ect in terms of building footprint and design. The City Attorney I s office has indicated that the redesigned project could be considered by the Planning commission under the original application. - 4 - The Planning Commission approval of the project was based on the fact that the proposed building is consistent with the standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance for the R3 District and the Land Use Element of the General Plan for the Oceanfront District, and is compatible with the surrounding area. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning commission approval of the project. The appeal of the Planning commission approval is based on the appellant's contention that the historic significance of the ex- isting buildings should be determined prior to approval of the replacement project. Based on established City procedure for reviewing the historic merit of an existing building, the issue is considered at the time the applicant applies for a demolition permit and is separate from the conditional Use Permit process. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT The recommendation presented in this report does not have any budget or fiscal impact. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commiss.ion approval of Conditional Use Permit 90-084 subject to the findings and conditions contained in the attached Planning Commission statement of Official Action.

The proposal is cons istent with the R3 Development standards and the Oceanfront District Land Use Element requirements. Recommendation: Approval with Conditions Permit streamlining Expiration Date: May 6, 1991 Subdivision Action Deadline: extension) February 28, 1991 (wi th 60 day SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The subject property is a 15,000 square foot parcel located between The Promenade and Appian Way having a frontage of 120'. Surrounding uses consist of a public parking lot across Pacific Terrace to the north (R3), the Loew's Hotel beach access way on the adjacent lot to the south (RVC), the nine-story, Loew's Hotel across Appian Way to the east (RVC), and the Santa Monica State Beach and Pacific Ocean across The Promenade to the west. Zoning District: R3 Land Use District: Oceanfront District Parcel Area: 120' X 125' = 15,000 square feet Gel: _3 - 1 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION Proposed is the demolition of two residential buildings with five units, removed from Rent Control via the Ellis Act, and the con- struction of a two story, 30' tall, ten unit condominium building with a 24 space subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific Terrace. The project would include ten flats with five units on each floor. Eight of the ten units would be similar in design, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms each. The two remaining uni ts would be one bedroom units. No lofts are proposed. A large roof deck would include a common sundeck and spa. MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code and in conformity with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A. CEQA STATUS The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA, pursuant to Class 3 (14) of the city of Santa Monica Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA. RENT CONTROL STATUS The five residential units were removed from the rental market via the Ellis Act as of May 19, 1990. FEES The project is subject to a Parks and Recreation Facilities Tax of $200 per unit and a Condominium Facilities Tax of $1,000 per saleable unit for a total tax of $12,000. In addition, the proj- ect is required to comply with program 12 of the Housing Element of the General Plan as implemented by Ordinance No. 1519 (CCS), which may be satisfied by providing affordable inclusionary hous- ing on-site or by payment of an in-lieu fee. This fee, prior to adjustment in accordance with changes in the CPI, will be $218,400, based on a gross residential project area of 14,560 square feet. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9130.8, within 30 days after the subject application was deemed complete, the applicant posted a sign on the property stating the following information: Project case number, brief project description, name and telephone number of applicant, site address, date, time and location of public hearing, and the Planning and Zoning Division phone number. It is the applicant's responsibility to update the hearing date if it is changed after posting. In addition, pursuant to Municipal Code section 9131.5, notice of the public hearing was mailed to all owners and residential and commercial tenants of property located within a 500 foot radius - 2 - G J : -: 3 of the project at least ten consecutive calendar days prior to the hearing. A copy of the notice is contained in Attachment B. ANALYSIS Background The proposed project was originally scheduled for Planning Com- mission review on January 30, 1991. Just prior to the Commission hearing, it was discovered that the 36' tall structure was incon- sistent with the Land Use Element/Oceanfront District height limit of 3D'. At that time, the applicant agreed to continue the project to a future hearing and redesign. OVer the next few months, staff had several contacts with the applicant regarding a redesign of the project. As stated in the attached letter from the applicant dated April 11, 1991 (Attachment B), the applicant agreed to redesign the project as suggested by staff and conform to the General Plan. On June 7, 1991, staff received a letter from the applicant stating that he was redesigning the project in order to conform with the General Plan and would submit revised plans in one to two weeks (Attachment C) In August of 1991, the applicant met with staff and proposed a two-story, 30' tall, four-unit condominium. (Attachment D). It was the applicant's intent to process the four-unit project under the original application. Following the August meeting with the applicant, staff reviewed the four-unit proposal with the City Attorney's office and it was determined that the revised project would constitute a substantial change and therefore require a new application. The new application would be subject to Proposition R, so the applicant would be required to provide on-site inclu- sionary units. Under the original application, the applicant had the option of either providing the inclusionary units or paying an in-lieu fee. On October 14, 1991, a letter was submitted to staff stating that that it was the applicant's intent to pursue the original project as submitted and requesting that the item be set for Planning Commission hearing (Attachment E). On January 8, 1992, the Plan- ning commission reviewed the proposed 3 story, 12 unit design, and based on the fact the the project was inconsistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, directed the applicant to redesign and return with a proposal that was consistent with the Oceanfront District standards in the Land Use Element. The Plan- ning Commission continued the item to March 4, 1992. Project Design Proposed is the construction of a ten-unit condominium building over a 24 space subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific Terrace. The building would be two stories, 30' in height above an average natural grade of IS.51'. Eight of the ten flats would contain a living room, kitchen, dining areal' two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The remaining two units would contain a living room, kitchen, dining area, a master bedroom and two bathrooms. A com- mon roof deck would include a sundeck and spa. - 3 - G,., - - :1 J..... _ u Parking and Circulation The parking requirements for the project are based on a ratio of two spaces for each of the ten units plus two guest spaces for a total requirement of 22 spaces. A total of 24 spaces would be provided in a subterranean parking garage accessed from Pacific Terrace. Pedestrian access to the garage would be provided by a central stairway and elevator shaft. The proj ect trash area would also be located in the subterranean parking garage. Neighborhood Compatibility The proposed two-story, J 0' condominium would be located in an area that currently contains a mix of buildings ranging in size from two story residential buildings to the nine-story Loew IS Santa Monica Beach Hotel. As stated above, the General Plan designation for the area north of Pico Boulevard, between The Promenade and Appian Way, limits building height to 30'. While the General Plan also limits certain types of buildings in the area to two stories, it states that hotel and residential development heights shall be governed by permitted building height in feet rather than by number of stories. Therefore, the height of the proposed two-story, 30' tall building would be con- sistent with the General Plan in terms of number of stories as well as number of feet. Conclusion The project is a permitted use in the proposed location and is consistent with the R3 standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. As redes igned I' the proj ect compl ies with the 30 ' height limit contained in the Oceanfront District of the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan. The proposed two-story, ten unit development is similar to the original three-story, twelve unit project in terms of building footprint and design. The City Attorneys office has indicated that the redesigned project could be considered by the Planning Commission under the original application.
