of the buildings and the need to enhance the pedestrian-orientation of the mixed-use building, <br /> reducing the massing of the detached single-family homes, the use of building materials to <br /> better reflect the architectural character of Downtown (i.e., reducing the amount of metal <br /> siding), and on-site parking requirements for a mixed-use building (i.e., meeting the parking <br /> standards for office/retail and apartments). On April 8, 2016, the applicant submitted revised <br /> plans and associated documentation addressing some of the previous comments in order to <br /> hold a Work Session with the Planning Commission. <br /> Planning Commission Work Sessions for major downtown/City-wide projects are required prior <br /> to requesting a formal recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council on <br /> project approval. A Planning Commission Work Session was held for the project on May 25, <br /> 2016. The Commission provided staff and the applicant with direction on the project land use <br /> consistency, parking, and design as detailed in the Work Session section below. In response <br /> to that direction, the applicant revised the project plans to include potential office space within <br /> the first-floors of the three, detached single-family homes. The current proposal is now before <br /> the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to the City Council, which will review <br /> and take final action on the applications. <br /> WORK SESSION <br /> The discussion at the May 25, 2016 Planning Commission Work Session focused on <br /> demolishing the structures, land use consistency, Specific Plan and General Plan <br /> amendments, parking, and design of the proposed project at. A summary of that discussion <br /> broken down into primary discussion topics is below. The applicant's responses to the <br /> Planning Commission's comments are discussed in the appropriate topical sections of this <br /> report. <br /> Historic Resources <br /> Historic Resources Policy No. 3 of the Downtown Specific Plan prohibits the demolition of any <br /> residential building in a commercial or office zoning district found to be a historic resource <br /> unless the building is determined to be unsafe or dangerous, and if no other reasonable means <br /> of rehabilitation or relocation can be achieved. The historic resource evaluation (Exhibit D) <br /> determined the existing house and accessory structure with carport are not considered historic <br /> resources and could be demolished. The Commission was not opposed to demolishing the <br /> existing home and accessory structure because the structures are not considered historic <br /> resources. <br /> Land Use Consistency <br /> The General Plan land use designation of this site is "Retail, Highway, Service Commercial; <br /> Business and Professional Offices" and the Downtown Specific Plan land use designation is <br /> "Office." The majority of the project (in terms of overall interior square footage) comprises <br /> detached, for-sale single-family residential uses; however, the Commission was not opposed <br /> to finding the project consistent with its respective land use designations given the presence of <br /> ground-floor commercial space oriented towards Old Bernal Avenue, and the potential of the <br /> project to generate more activity on the periphery of Downtown. However, the Planning <br /> Commission expressed support to modify the project to add ground-floor commercial space <br /> into the residential building proposed in the southwest corner of the site (Residence 1), and re- <br /> designing this ground-floor space to look more like a commercial space (e.g., introducing more <br /> transparency and a separate entrance allowing access into the commercial space).
