McGlincy Lane BACKGROUND Proposed Project: The submitted application for a Conditional Use Permit w/Site and Architectural Review would allow conversion of an existing single-family residence to commercial use and construction of a 760 square-foot storage building. Project Site: The project site is an approximately 10,000 square parcel located on E. McGlincy Lane, between Cristich Lane and Campbell Technology Parkway. The site borders industrial uses on all sides. The property was developed with a single-family residence constructed circa 1952. PROJECT DATA Zoning Designation: M-1 (Light Industrial) General Plan Designation: Light Industrial Net Lot Area: 10,125 square-feet Building Height (New): 20 feet 35 feet (Max. Allowed) Building Square Footage : Converted Structure: 1,389 square feet New Storage Structure: 762 square feet 2,151 square feet (Total Size) SARC Memorandum – July 26, 2022 Page 2 PLN-2022-32 ~ 440 E. McGlincy Ln. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) .21 .40 (Max. Allowed) Parking: 7 stalls 1 7 stalls Landscaping Area: 1,805 SF (18%) 810 SF (8%) Min. Building Setbacks (New): Proposed Required Front (west): 90 feet 10 feet Side (north): 1 ½ -feet 5 feet or ½ the "wall height" 2 Side (south): 52-feet 5 feet or ½ the "wall height" Rear (east): 0-feet 10 feet2 DISCUSSION The Site and Architectural Review Committee's (SARC) role is to review the architectural design and site configuration of the proposed project and to make recommendations as appropriate to the Planning Commission. Site Layout: The proposed site plan shows removal of the garage attached to the existing residence to allow for construction of a standard two-way driveway to the rear of the property. The driveway would provide access to a new parking lot, in what is currently the property's backyard. A new walkway would provide an accessible path-of-travel from the parking lot to the building's front entrance, on the opposite side of the driveway. The proposed storage building is shown at the property's northeast corner, with minimal side and rear setbacks, as permitted in the M-1 Zoning District. This structure would provide storage for the property, including placement of refuse containers, in-lieu of a freestanding trash enclosure. Parking: The proposed conversion and construction of a new storage building would require seven (7) parking stalls, based on a combination of the office (1/225 SF) and industrial (1/400 SF) parking standards. The site plan shows six vehicular stalls, including one ADA accessible stall, and four motorcycle stalls that are counted as a single stall. The project, is therefore, complaint with the applicable parking requirements. Architectural Design: The existing residence would maintain its a residential appearance with the proposed conversion. In addition to the removal of the attached garage, the porch would be altered from a hipped form to a gable for a more pronounced entry, and would be serviced by an new ADA accessible ramp. The new storage building would be a simple purpose-built flat-roofed structure, consisting of CMU block, a material commonly found in the area. 1 Includes four (4) motorcycle stalls that are credited as a single vehicle stall per CMC Sec. 21.28.065. All parking values are rounded down per CMC Sec. 21.28.040.F. 2 CMC Sec. 21.10.080.E, Table 2-13, allows a reduction of side and rear setbacks to zero feet. SARC Memorandum – July 26, 2022 Page 3 PLN-2022-32 ~ 440 E. McGlincy Ln. Landscaping: The property is proposed to be completely re-landscaped to accommodate the proposed project in compliance with the State's Model Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance (MWELO). This would include the required landscaping along the front, sides, and rear of the property, except for where the proposed storage building has a reduced setback area. In total, the project would result in a landscape area of approximately 1,800 square-feet or 18% of the site's net lot area, exceeding the City's minimum 8% requirement for M-1 (Light Industrial) zoned properties. The property's existing trees are indicated to remain. CONSIDERATIONS The SARC should discuss the proposed project's design approach, site layout including the proposed shared driveway and parking, landscaping and tree preservation, lighting, and privacy impacts. If the SARC believes that the project warrants changes, the applicant may be asked to revise the design for review by the Planning Commission. Attachments: 1.
