Zoning Districts: C3 Land Use District: Dovmtown Core Parcel Area: 200' X 150' = 30,000 square feet - 1 - A1fACHti~r ~ie:~~,0 l " PROJECT DESCRIPTION Proposed is the construction of a six story, 84 I retail/office bUllding. The proj ect would consist of 13,800 square feet of ground floor retail space and 76,500 square feet of office space. The proposed project would require the demolition of two existing two story commercial buildings with a total floor area of 39,451 square feet. The proj ect is located in the Downtown Parking Assessment Dis- trict. Projects located in the Assessment District are not re- quired to provide on-site parking. However, the proposed project has provided 303 spaces in a three and a half level subterranean parking garage. A Development Review application is required in that the project exceeds 15,000 square feet in floor area. site Revie,.... is re- quired to permit a six story, 84' structure in the C3 District where 4 storieS/56 feet is permitted by right and 6 stories/84I is permitted with site Review. MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORI1ANCE The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code as and in conformance with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A. CEQA STATUS An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for this project and approval of a resolution certifying the adequacy of the EIR is recommended. copies of the Draft ErR were dis- tributed to the Planning Conmission at the beginning of the 30- day public revie,v perlod. Comments received are incorporated into the Final EIR (Attachment B). FEES The project is subject to the Housing and Parks Project Hitiga- tion Heasures of the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan. The project mitigation measures May be satisfied by payment of an in-lieu fee to the city as established by Or- dinance 1367 (CCS) and outlined in the conditions of approval for this project. ANALYSIS Background The subject Development Review application was scheduled for the Planning Commission meeting of July 19, 1989. At the July 19th meeting, the Commission continued the item, at the applicant's request, to September 20, 1989. At the time of the July 19th meeting, the proposed project was designed as a six story, 99,000 square foot Office/retail building tvi th a floor area ratio of 63.3. The C3 standards permit a six story building with a 3.5 fAR - 2 - j~ " with Site Review. Planning staff recommendation to the Commis- sion was to approve the proposed project with the condition that the square footage be reduced in order that the building FAR not exceed 3.0. Since July, the applicant has redesigned the building and reduced the square footage as recommended by staff. The overall massing and scale of the building has also been reduced in response to a potential aesthetic impact identified in the Environmental Impact Report. The redesign has resulted in an 8,700 square foot reduc- tion in overall square footage from 99,000 to 90,300, and a re- duction in the number of parking spaces from 331 to 303. Based on the fact that the modifications to the building involve only reductions in terms of square footage and building bulk and would reduce identified impacts, the Environmental Impact Report has not been modified to reflect the changes. Project Design The proposed project would involve the construction of a six story, 90,300 square foot, retail/office building w~th three and a half levels of subterranean parking. The building would con- sist of 13,800 square feet of retail space on the first floor and 76,500 square feet of office space on the second through sixth floor. Although the project is located in the downtown parking assessment districtl the development would prov~de 191 standard parking spaces, 6 handicap spaces and 106 compact spaces, total- ing 303 spaces. The proposed building design features a curved architectural ele- rrent at the corner of 4th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard. The structure would be surfaced with a combination of glass and stuc- co or stone. The overall amount of glass on the building has been reduced in conformance T,'lith Land Use Element Policy 3.1.2 which prohibits large expanses of highly reflective materials such as black glass or mirrored metal. The EIR had recommended as a mitigation measure a condition that the structure's glass surf- aces comply with the city's policy for reflective glass and uti- lize either non-reflective or low reflective types of glazing to reduce glare. Setback terraces are provided at the 2nd and 5th floors. The building provides ground floor retail space along 4th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard, with covered walkways and a large pedestrian entry plaza at the corner. Land Use Element Policy 1. 3.6 allm'ls six-stories/84 I j 3.5 FAR with Site Review. The proposed building would be six-stories/84I with a 3.0 FAR. While the General Plan Policy allows for an in- creased density with Site Review, no specific criteria are iden- tified as what would qualify a project for site Review. However, in previous cases, proJect amenities such as parking, pedestrian orientation and building design have been considered. - 3 - f ( The proposed project, which is located ~n the Dmmtown Parking Assessment District, provides parking consistent "lith code re- quirements for retail/office buildings. The building design in- corporated several urban design features which are in compliance with City policy. These include: Building setbacks and terraces to minimize the impact of the perceived mass of the structure and to preserve the solar access of Fourth street. Pedestrian amenities at the ground floor street frontages, such as frequent entrances and display win- dows, awnings and signage oriented to walking traffic. staff believes that the proposed parking as well as the amenities incorporated into the building design justify the site Review request. Traffic and Circulation Analysis A traffic analysis prepared by Kaku Associates analyzed the traf- fic impacts on seven intersections near the project. Based on the City Traffic Division Guidelines, the study concluded that the project alone would not have a significant impact on traffic in the area. Project generated traffic is not considered to cause a significant impact based on the definition of "signifi- cant impact" according to the city I s traffic lmpact guidelines, as follov1S: "A project is considered to have a significant traffic impact if the addltion of project trafflc to an intersec- tion results in an increase of 0.02 or greater in the VIC ratio, and the intersection ~s projected to operate at a level of service of E or F either before or after addition of the project traffic." Based on the definition above, the project would not have a sig- nificant traffic impact at any of the seven analyzed intersec- tions. At the intersection of Fourth street and Santa Honica Boulevard, the addition of project traffic increases the morning peak hour v/e ratio by 0.02, but the intersection would still be operating a LOS D or better, The intersection of Fourth street and Colorado Avenue would be operating at LOS F, but the project traffic would increase the vie ratio by only 0.01. The proJect therefore is not considered to have a significant long-range im- pact at any of the seven analyzed intersections. The project would have two driveways, each providing both access and egress. The first driveway would be at the northern end of the property on Fourth street, \"hile the second drive\vay \vould front on the alley between Fourth and Fifth streets. The alley is one-way in the southbound direction, so access to the project could be made from Arizona Avenue while egress would be onto San- ta Monica Boulevard. Vehicles enterlng the parking garage from northbound Fourth Street vlOuld have unobstructed access to the 'driveway. Vehicles entering from southbound Fourth Street would - 4 - '- use the continuous left-turn lane in the median to make the left turn into the driveway. Wastewater Generation The EIR estimates that the proposed building would generate 2,180 gallons per day (gpd) of waste water. Current wastewater genera- tion of the existing buildings on site is 218 gpd, resulting in an increase of 1,962 g?d. The net increase represents approxi- mately 2.24 percent of the City I s six-month vlaste"l.'later alloca- tion. The applicant will be required to achieve a zero-net flow through a City-approved program. Conclusion The proposed six-story retail/office building would comply with all code requirements for the Downtown Core and the C3 District. In its action on the Unity By The Sea project, the Planning Com- mission made a general statement regarding grounds for approving projects requiring site Review. At this time, specific criteria to justify Site Revie;,.! approvals have not been established. However, the request for Site ReVlew may be supported due to the provision of the on-site parking, building setbacks and the pedestrian plaza. staff supports the applicants request for site reVlew in terms of the building height. The applicant has reduced the building square footage to conform to the perml tted FAR of 3.0. Staff feels that a 90,000 square foot building (3.0 FAR) within six stories allows for more design options than would a 90,000 square foot building wi thin a four story building. Furthermore, the proposed six-story building is consistent with development in the general area. As discussed in the ErR, the project "I..,rould not result in any longterm significant environnental impacts. Mitigation measures have been included as conai tion of approval to reduce proj ect- related impacts. RECOMI1ENDATION Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the resolution certifying the Env~ronmental Il"'pact Repor~, EIA 874, and approve Development Review 454 subject to the following findings and conditions. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FINDINGS 1. The development is consistent with the findings and pur- pose of Ordinance 1321 as set forth below. 2.
