MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 28, 1983 Page 2 OLD BUSINESS - Public Hearings GP-83-12, Capital Conveyance Application of Capital Conveyance Company to amend the general plan land use designation on approximately 1.56 acres located on the north side of Valley Avenue just east of the Hopyard Shopping Village from "Public and Institutional" to "Commercial and Offices." A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report stating this matter was continued from a previous Planning Commission hearing for renotification to surrounding property owners. Commissioner Wilson asked if the 1.6 acre site is a separate legal lot from the shopping center. He was concerned that if the parcel were to be rezoned and then sold, there would be no reciprocal parking possible. The staff checked this matter and informed the Commission that the 1.6 acre site is a legal lot in itself. Chairman Jamieson asked staff to explain Page 2, the second paragraph. Mr. Harris explained it relates to options available, i.e., if it is determined the City's parking requirements are incorrect for the shopping center and the City concurs with the parking study done for the shopping center the situation might be different and parking requirements less. The applicants contend that with no major tenant, the City's requirements are too stringent. The public hearing was opened. Mike Niklaus, 2101 "J" Street, Sacramento, stated they have addressed the key issues at the previous public hearing and did not to be redundant. He stated they agree entirely with the staff recommendation that an "0" District be considered when the property is rezoned. They have met with the homeowners in the area and explained the two-part process concerning their applications. He stated it is their intention to put offices on the 1.6 acre site. They will not be leasing to any more restaurants or bars. It is their intention to apply for PUD zoning for the entire site including the 1.6 acre parcel. They have done some traffic counting in the center at various times. He said on a payday, Friday, there were 110 vehicles parked at 1:OOpm out of 200 spaces. On Wednesday there were 98 cars at 12:OOpm, Monday 86 cars at 11:OOam. The bar, at their peak times, uses approximately 50% of the vehicle aprking. He felt that with the proper uses in the shopping center, the parking is adequate. Commissioner Wilson asked the applicant if he had met with the homeowners in the area. Mr. Niklaus said they had prior to the previous Planning Commission meeting and felt that they had frank discussions. They have tried to address the concerns of the neighbors. He felt the previous owners did not have a good relationship with the neighbors and there were problems. Dan Mahoney, 2820 Longspur, stated his property backs up to the 1.6 acre site. He felt the "P" zone was put in to protect the homeowners and they still want some type of protection. He did not want the area to become a parking lot for the bar. He didn't feel the bar was appropriate in the shopping center in the first place because of its proximity to single-family homes. He felt that if parking is put in on the site it will take a spillover from the bar patrons. -2- _. ,_ ._ ... _.__.. ____ _r.._ ._ _.._ _ __.__..._ _ __ _ ~_ _ .. _. _ .. _ . ___r
