The 16-acre project site is accessed from Stoneridge Drive via an entry drive, Auto Mall Way, which is shared with CarMax Auto Superstore. The entry drive contains two lanes to enter the project site and three lanes for exiting. The access drive continues further north and ends at a T-intersection where incoming visitors would make a right turn into the Chrysler site. One additional access point is proposed from Auto Mall Way into the subject parcel once the future dealership is developed. Chrysler is currently utilizing a temporary gravel parking lot to the east of its current dealership for employee/inventory parking. Once the proposed parking lot is constructed, the applicant will remove the temporary gravel lot and move inventory parking to the subject parcel. At this time, the proposed parking lot will only be accessed from the Chrysler parcel. The dimensions of proposed parking stalls within the display and service areas are 8 feet 6 inches wide by 16 feet deep, with 20-foot drive aisles. Tandem parking is proposed for some of the spaces. Landscaping Landscaping along the street frontages, between the street and the sidewalk, was planted with the development of the Chrysler parcel. A conceptual landscaping plan has been submitted illustrating the proposed parking lot landscaping. New landscaping will be installed along the project frontage behind the sidewalk as well as along the southern parking lot perimeter planter and within parking end-cap landscape planters. Proposed tree species (all are proposed to be 24-inch box size) for the parking lot landscaping include: flowering pear and coast live oak. A variety of shrubs and ground cover are proposed in the planters and bio-retention areas. The proposed landscaping plan has been designed to match the existing development. Lighting The proposed lighting plan for the proposed parking lot will be consistent with the lighting currently on the Chrysler site and is included within the project plans. The remainder of the site will not have lighting at this time. Pole-mounted lighting at a height of 25 feet above finished grade is proposed in the parking lot area, consistent with the 25-foot maximum height allowed by the Specific Plan. Approved "designated display areas" are allowed by the Specific Plan to have a maximum footcandle level of 30 during operating hours. The applicant's lighting plan indicates the entire new parking lot will be a display area. The proposed lighting plan indicates a maximum level of 36.4 footcandles. The applicant will need to revise the lighting plan to comply with the 30 foot candle maximum. A separate plan for lighting levels during non-operational hours has not been shown, but in accordance with the MMRP, all exterior parking lot lighting levels during non-operational hours must be designed to not exceed 10 foot candles. Plans submitted for final approval will need to be revised to meet MMRP requirements during both operational and non-operational hours. Dealership Operations The Chrysler dealership includes an approximately 31,792-square-foot building with a 2,175-square-foot service canopy and 1,250-square-foot car wash with 46 visitor stalls, 248 display stalls, 55 service vehicle stalls, and 36 employee stalls for a total of 385 stalls. In addition, Chrysler is currently utilizing 244 temporary stalls on the eastern parcel. Once the new parking lot is complete, Chrysler will move all cars from the temporary lot and utilize the 201 new stalls until the development of the future dealership, at which time the parking will be shared and Chrysler's parking will be reduced to 130 stalls within the lot for a total of 515 stalls.
