Box 88 Lodi, CA 95241 PROPERTY OWNER: Calle Real Properties, LLC P.O. Box 88 Lodi, CA 95241 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the SPARC Review 2020-020 SP, subject to the proposed conditions of approval. PROJECT/AREA DESCRIPTION General Plan Designation: Mixed Use Corridor Zoning Designation: MCO (Mixed Use Corridor) Property Size: 40,212 sq. ft. / 0.92 acres SUMMARY The applicant, Calle Real Properties, LLC, is proposing to demolish an existing vacant building and construct a new retail building and associated parking, landscaping and other improvements. Per the Lodi Zoning Code, the proposed use requires approval of a site plan and architectural review by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Commission (SPARC). 1 BACKGROUND The following sections describe the site and its setting: • General Plan and Zoning • Existing Land Use • Existing Land Use General Plan and Zoning The site is designated Mixed Use Corridor on both the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Map, as shown below. Table A: Adjacent General Plan Zoning Designations and Land Uses General Plan Zoning Classification Existing Land Use North Mixed Use Corridor and Mixed Use Corridor (MCO) Single Family Housing Low Density Residential and Low Density Residential (RLD) South Low Density Residential Low Density Residential Multi-Family Housing (RLD) East Mixed Use Corridor and Mixed Use Corridor (MCO) Single Family Housing Low Density Residential and Low Density and Retail/Office Residential (RLD) West Mixed Use Corridor and Mixed Use Corridor (MCO) Single Family Housing Low Density Residential and Low Density Residential (RLD) Project Site Mixed Use Corridor Mixed Use Corridor (MCO) Former theater building (vacant), former bakery (vacant) 2  Figure 1: General Plan Low Density Residential Project Site W Lodi Avenue Sunset Drive Fairmont Avenue Mixed Use Corridor The Mixed Use Corridor General Plan land use designation is described as follows: The Mixed-Use Corridor classification includes a variety of office and general commercial uses, as well as low-, medium-, and high-density residential along the city’s major corridors: Kettleman and Cherokee lanes and Lodi Avenue. This category allows for somewhat more intensive development along these corridors to take advantage of vacant and underutilized sites and provide shopping and services to residents in highly accessible corridors. The maximum FAR for this designation is 1.2. 3  Figure 2: Zoning RLD MCO Project Site W Lodi Avenue Sunset Drive Fairmont Avenue MCO MCO MCO RLD The Mixed Use Corridor (MCO) zoning district is described as follows: MCO (Mixed Use Corridor) District. The MCO zoning district is applied along the city's major corridors: Kettleman and Cherokee lanes and Lodi Avenue. This category provides for a variety of office and general commercial uses, as well a low-, medium-, and high-density residential. The maximum FAR is 1.2. The MCO zoning district is consistent with the mixed use corridor land use designation of the general plan. [Lodi Zoning Code, emphasis added] Development standards for the MCO zoning district are summarized below. Table B: MCO Zone Development Standards Setbacks Front 10 feet Street Side 10 feet Side 5 feet Rear 10 feet Floor Area Ratio 1.2 Height Limit Min. 15 feet Max. 4 stories/60 feet Landscaping Per Zoning Code Chapter 17.30 Parking Per Zoning Code Chapter 17.32 With regard to setbacks, the Zoning Code also provides specific standards that apply in the zoning district and along Lodi Avenue. These are: 4  • Special Standards for Lodi Avenue and Central Avenue. At least thirty percent of development site shall include active uses—retail, restaurants, cafes, and personal service establishments fronting the streets at the ground level in order to accommodate pedestrian-oriented, neighborhood serving commercial uses. The minimum interior depth of these commercial spaces shall be twenty-five feet. [ZC 17.22.070.C.1] • Buildings shall be encouraged to locate near or along the front property line(s). [ZC 17.22.070.D.1] Existing Land Use The site is currently occupied by a vacant former Alexander’s Bakery and the former Sunset Theater. The theater building is undergoing a renovation and minor expansion, which is not subject to SPARC review. The bakery building is proposed to be demolished as part of project being reviewed by the SPARC. A site plan of the existing buildings on the site is shown below. Figure 3: Existing Site Plan Note: Parking spaces next to the theater are not currently striped, and are shown to indicate parking capacity only. 5  Figure 4: Existing Site Aerial Photos of the site in its existing condition are shown below. 6  Figure 5: Existing Site and Buildings Sunset Theater building, view to southwest from Lodi Avenue Former Alexander’s Bakery building, view to the southeast from Lodi Avenue 7  View of the site from the intersection of Lodi Avenue and Fairmont Avenue Former bakery building, view from Fairmont Avenue to the northwest. The former bakery is proposed to be demolished and replaced by the new retail building. 8 The area around the project site is a mix of single family and multi-family neighborhoods and retail/office. Figure 6: Vicinity Aerial Photo PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing bakery building and construct a new retail building with landscaping and parking. The building is proposed to house a retail location and a restaurant. Parking and landscaping will be installed throughout the site, including around the existing Sunset Theater. The former theater building is being renovated as a separate project which is not part of the site plan and architectural review under consideration by the SPARC. Site Plan and Outdoor Spaces A site plan of the proposed development is shown below. The proposed new building is located at the northeast corner of the site (upper righthand corner in the illustration). The existing theater building on the west site of the site (lefthand side in the illustration). 9  Figure 7: Proposed Site Plan Entry Outdoor Plaza Seating Highlights of the proposed site plan include a new public plaza at the pedestrian-oriented entrance into the site from Lodi Avenue and a large area for seating and gathering on the south side of the proposed retail building (internal to the project site). Detailed views of these features are shown on the following pages. Staff notes that the applicant has not provided details on the proposed landscaping (plant and tree species, etc.). A proposed condition of approval is included to require the applicant to submit detailed landscape plans for review and approval by staff before building permits are issued. 10 Figure 8: Public Entry Plaza 11  Figure 9: Interior Outdoor Space Building Elevations The proposed buildings are designed in a “mid-century modern” style to match the existing Sunset Theater building. Elevations of the proposed building are shown on the following pages. The proposed building will be sheated in a combination of concrete (painted and unpainted), metal painted in several colors, ceramic tile and glass. Similar colors and materials will be used in the renovation of the former theater building, to provide continuity between the two structures. 12  Figure 10: Proposed Building Elevations North elevation facing Lodi Avenue. Entry plaza is at the right. South elevation facing the internal parking area. Entry plaza is at the left (view is toward Lodi Avenue). 13  East elevation, facing Fairmont Avenue West elevation, facing the former Sunset Theater and the entry plaza Parking and Pedestrian Access In its current configuration (see Figure 3), the site contains space for ten parking spaces on the parcel on which the former theater is located and an undetermined number of spaces for the former grocery store (the paving is not currently striped). The parking on the existing theather parcel is not sufficient to meet modern parking requirements, but needs to be maintained as part of the renovation of the building and the construction of the new retail building. The proposed parking lot includes 37 parking spaces (plus one spot for the parking of vehicles delivering materials and performers to the adjacent building). The project also proposes approximately 30 bicycle parking spaces in locations near the retail building and the public entry plaza. Pedestrian access is provided via sidewalks on Lodi and Fairmont avenues and a system of internal walkways that will connect the public sidewalks with the project. Pedestrian access into and through the site is highlighted below. 14  Figure 11: Pedestrian Access Landscaping The proposed project includes landscaping throughout the site, on both the portion of the site proposed to be developed and adjacent to the existing theater building. Both plantings and hardscape will be used in the public areas and around the buildings. Other features of the project include planters, a water feature at the entry to the public plaza, and tables with umbrellas, shown in the elevation drawing below. 15  Figure 12: Plaza Entry ANALYSIS The following sections address several topics associated with the proposed project: • Compliance with MCO development standards • Architecture and Landscape design • Landscaping and site improvements • Parking Staff’s analysis of these issues is provided below. Compliance with MCO Development Standards The MCO zoning district includes the following development standards, which are shown with the proposed project’s measurements. As shown, the project complies with the development standards of the MCO zone. 16  Proposed MCO Standard Compliance Project Setbacks Front 10 feet 2-3 feet Yes Street Side 10 feet 5-6 feet Yes Side 5 feet NA Yes Rear 10 feet 10 feet Yes Floor Area Ratio 1.2 Approx 0.10 Yes Height Limit Min. 15 feet 17 feet Yes Max. 4 stories/60 (taller at corner) feet The Zoning Code also provides the following guidance for the placement of buildings closer to the property line: • Buildings shall be encouraged to locate near or along the front property line(s). [ZC 17.22.070.D.1] The SPARC may wish to note that the proposed building includes features which will overhand the public sidewalks on Lodi Avenue. These have been reviewed for compliance with City standards, which allow overhangs (such as the canopies over some sidewalks in the downtown) provided that minimum clearance is maintained. The project includes buildings which are located near the front (Lodi Ave) and street side (Fairmont Ave) property lines, complying with this section of the Zoning Code. Architectural and Landscape Design In staff’s opinion, the proposed retail building represents a high quality design that responds to the adjacent historic Sunset Theater. The building uses a “mid-century modern” design that matches the former theater, which was originally built in the 1950s in this style. As noted earlier in this report, the theater building is being renovated; colors and materials for the two buildings (new retail and the theater) will be consistent, creating a cohesive design for the entire site. Landscaping and site furnishings (tables and chairs) will complement the proposed architecture and provide an attractive outdoor space for gatherings and dining. Staff has reviewed the proposed project and confirmed that it meets the requirements of Zoning Code Chapter 17.30 with regard to landscaping. Parking The Zoning Code requires the following parking for the uses proposed in the new retail building: • Retail sales and service: 1 space for each 500 SF of gross floor area • Restaurants/bars/night clubs: 1 space for each four seats 17 Based on these standards, the project requires 12 parking spaces: • Tenant 1: 1,750 SF/500 = 4 spaces • Tenant 2: 32 restaurant seats/4 = 8 spaces As discussed earlier, the ten parking spaces which could be provided on the existing theater parcel also need to be retained, for a total parking requirement of 22 spaces (12 + 10 = 22). The project will provide a total of 37 onsite parking spaces, which exceeds the required parking for the new retail building and the existing theater parcel. The Lodi Zoning Code requires that commercial uses provide at least 4 bicycle parking stalls or 20 percent of required off-street parking, whichever is greater. For the proposed project, this results in a requirement for four bicycle parking spaces, since this is greater than 20 percent of the 12 required spaces (12 x 0.2 = 2.4). The 30 bicycle spaces provided exceed the requirement. FINDINGS The Lodi Municipal Code (Section 17.14.040 F) requires that the SPARC make the following findings in order to approve a site plan and architectural review application: 1. The design and layout of the proposed project would: a. Be consistent with the development and design standards/guidelines of the applicable zoning district; b. Not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and not create traffic or pedestrian hazards; c. Maintain and enhance the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development contemplated by this development code; and d. Provide a desirable environment for its occupants, neighbors, and visiting public through good aesthetic use of durable materials, texture, and color. 2. The proposed development: a. Would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and b. Has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Lodi Environmental Review Guidelines [Zoning Code 17.040.020.E] Staff’s recommendations are shown below: 1a. The design and layout of the proposed project would be consistent with the development and design standards/guidelines of the applicable zoning district; 18  Analysis: The proposed building complies with the development standards of the MCO district, including minimum and maximum height. While the MCO zoning district includes a ten-foot setback, the Zoning Code also allows for buildings which are set closer to property lines, which the project includes. The project will provide more parking than is needed for the proposed retail building and to replace the ten parking spaces which can be accommodated on the former theater parcel. 1b. The design and layout of the proposed project would not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and not create traffic or pedestrian hazards; Analysis: The proposed project will not create any impediments to surrounding developments. The project includes safe, pedestrian access, separated from vehicle traffic, into the site from adjacent public sidewalks. 1c. The design and layout of the proposed project would maintain and enhance the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development contemplated by this development code; and Analysis: The project has been designed to reflect the architecture and aesthetics of the existing Sunset Theater building, and includes materials and colors which reflect a high level of design and quality. 1d. The design and layout of the proposed project would provide a desirable environment for its occupants, neighbors, and visiting public through good aesthetic use of durable materials, texture, and color. Analysis: The proposed project includes colors consistent with the adjacent Sunset Theater building, and would be constructed with durable materials and finishes. 2a. The proposed development would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and Analysis: There is no evidence in the record to suggest that the proposed retail project would result in any detriments to the public health, safety, or welfare. The project has been designed to be consistent with the Zoning Code and applicable public works, building, and other codes and requirements. 2b. Has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Lodi Environmental Review Guidelines. Analysis: The proposed project is exempt from environmental review per CEQA section 15332, as discussed below. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed project meets the criteria for a Class 32 exemption per CEQA Guidelines section 15332. CEQA defines projects in Class 32 as follows: “Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in this section. 19 (a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. (c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. (d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.” The project complies with all of these requirements: a) The project is consistent with the Lodi General Plan, which designates mixed use corridor land use district for a mix of commercial, office and residential uses. b) The project site is within the city, surrounded by existing development, and less than five acres in size. c) The project site has been entirely developed in the past and contains no habitat for wildlife species. d) The project is not expected to result in any traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality impact. The types of uses expected to occur in the proposed building are typical of the MCO zoning district, and would not generate significant levels of traffic, noise, or other impacts. e) The project site is served with all needed utilities by the City and other agencies. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Staff’s recommended conditions of approval for the proposed project are included in the attachments to this report. PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Legal Notice for this item was published in the Lodi News Sentinel on Saturday, August 15, 2020. Thirty-eight (38) public hearing notices were sent to all property owners of record within a 300-foot radius of the project site as required by California State Law §65091 (a) 3. Public notice also was mailed to interested parties who expressed their interest of the project. RECOMMENDED MOTION Staff recommends that the SPARC approve a Site Plan and Architectural Review PL2020- 020 SP, subject to the attached conditions of approval. Should the Commission agree with staff’s recommendation, the following motion is suggested: “I move that the Commission find that the proposed site plan and architectural review application for a new building at 1110 W Lodi Avenue is exempt from CEQA 20  as a Class 32 exemption and that the Commission approve the proposed development number 2020-020 SP, subject to conditions of approval.” ALTERNTIVE SPARC ACTIONS • Approve the request with attached or alternate conditions • Deny the project • Continue the item to a future meeting Respectfully Submitted, Eric Norris John R.
