Continued from November 19, 2019 — Public Hearing: Introduction of an ordinance to approve the application of Abbas Mash to demolish existing approximately 3,510-square-foot restaurant building; rezone the subject parcel from C-F (Freeway Commercial) District to PUD-C (Planned Unit Development - Commercial) District; and construct an approximately 10,980 square-foot, single-story, multi-tenant commercial building and related site improvements at 6455 Owens Drive Associate Planner Eric Luchini provided a brief description of the property site and noted the surrounding area is comprised of mainly commercial and office use. He presented the site plan and noted the project consists of a single building with parking in the rear. He also noted the project would be maintaining a large landscaping buffer along Owens Drive. Associate Planner Luchini presented the proposed building architecture and advised it will be consistent with the buildings in the area. He presented a building use list and noted that vehicle storage, auto sales, warehousing, and medical offices would be less desirable for the location. On-site parking and trip generation would be key factors in determining the ultimate mix and size of supported uses for the site. Advised that General Plan consistency PUD zoning, architecture/building design, uses and traffic were all analyzed and that a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared which included both near and long-term impacts. Associate Planner Luchini advised that in the near term the study intersections would worsen, but all study intersections would continue to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS). He advised that in the long term the southbound driveway approach at Owens Drive and the western driveway would deteriorate from LOS E to LOS F during both the AM and PM peak hours. Additionally, an increased number of U-turns necessitated new median mitigations could increase queue lengths at the Johnson Drive and Owens Drive intersection. Associate Planner Luchini advised that based on the TIA findings, conditions of approval include: construction of a raised channel median at the intersection of Owens Drive and western driveway to permit right-in and right-out traffic only; creation of a Traffic Impact Fund (TIF) to cover the City's expenses for any signal timing changes in the immediate vicinity; and the installation of American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps on both sides of Johnson Court and the installation of a crosswalk. Associate Planner Luchini discussed the existing traffic issues at the Chik-Fil-A queuing area that is currently being monitored by staff, and the pending improvements including the widening of Hopyard Road to provide a separate southbound right-turn lane from Hopyard to Owens. A recommended condition of approval would require the applicant to grant the City an 8-foot wide easement along the Owens Drive frontage to facilitate construction of a 14-foot-wide mixed-use- path with a protected bike lane.
