Box 105842 Atlanta, GA 30348 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee approve SPARC Review PL2024- 002, subject to the proposed conditions of approval, included in Attachment B. PROJECT / AREA DESCRIPTION General Plan Designation: General Commercial Zoning: Planned Development 39 (PD 39) Property Size: 9.24 Acres – 402,494 square feet SUMMARY The applicant, Lars Andersen and Associates, Inc. (“Applicant”), proposes to expand outdoor display, outdoor storage areas, and establish a yard for the display and storage of rental mobile equipment in existing parking lots of a large home improvement retail building and associated garden center (Home Depot) (“Project”) located at 2960 Reynolds Ranch Parkway, Lodi, California, 95240 (“Site”). Per the Lodi Municipal Code (“LMC”) Zoning regulations, the Project requires approval of a site plan and architectural review by the Site Plan and Architectural Review Committee (SPARC). 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 2 of 15 BACKGROUND The following sections describe the Site and its setting: • Site Location Map • General Plan and Zoning • Existing Conditions Figure 1: Site Location Map General Plan and Zoning The General Plan designation for the Site is General Commercial. The Site is located in the Reynolds Ranch Planned Development (PD 39), and the underlying zone is General Commercial (GC). In the GC zoning district, outdoor display and storage is allowed with screening. 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 3 of 15 Table A: Adjacent General Plan, Zoning Designations and Land Uses General Plan Zoning Classification Existing Land Use North General General Commercial (GC), Planned Parking Lot for Commercial Development 39 Retail Building South Office Office (O) Office Building East Parking Lot, Large Lot Single- General General Commercial (GC), Planned Family Commercial Development 39 Residence, Vacant Lot West General General Commercial (GC), Planned Vacant Commercial Development 39 Project Site General General Commercial (GC), Planned Retail Building, Commercial Development 39 Parking Lots Figure 2: Lodi General Plan GENERAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL OFFICE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 4 of 15 The Commercial General Plan land use designation is described as follows: General Commercial: This classification provides sites for retail uses, including citywide shopping centers with off-street parking, neighborhood shopping with clusters of street-front stores and hotels. This category includes large-parcel retail uses around Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane and highway-oriented commercial development near the exits of SR-99, as well as smaller-scale retail uses, including around the intersection of Vine Street and Central Avenue. The maximum FAR for this designation is 0.6. Figure 3: Zoning – Planned Development 39 (PD 39) PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 39 (PD 39) INDUSTRIAL (M) PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 39 (PD 39) PD 39 allows for General Commercial (GC) uses on the Site. A PD zone is intended to allow deviations from standard zoning requirements to create a development pattern specifically designed for a project site that allows a more desirable and efficient use of land. In accordance with LMC Section 17.28.040, a PD zone is intended to accommodate various types of development, including residential developments, public, quasi-public, commercial, retail, office, schools, and open space. The GC Zoning District is described as follows: The GC zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for a range of community serving commercial, regional retail, and service land uses. The FAR is 0.6. The GC zoning district is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan. 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 5 of 15 The outdoor storage and display areas for the garden center and the rental mobile equipment yard are allowed uses in the GC zoning district. Existing Conditions The Site is developed with a 108,101 square-foot Home Depot building, a 28,783 square-foot garden center and associated parking lots and landscaped areas. The area around the Site is partially developed with a Dick’s Sporting Goods store and parking lot adjacent to the north, an office complex to the south across Reynolds Ranch Parkway, a vacant lot adjacent to the West, and a single-family residence and vacant land adjacent to the east next to State Highway 99 (Figure 4). Outdoor display and storage of merchandise is occurring in front of the Home Depot building and the garden center, within the parking lot in front of the garden center, and within the parking lot to the West of the garden center. There is also storage of merchandise occurring within the area between the rear of the Home Depot building and Reynolds Ranch Parkway. Finally, there is a rental mobile equipment yard in the northeast portion of the parking lot in front of the Home Depot building. A SPARC review in 2010 (10-SP-02) required that outdoor display and storage of merchandise be limited to the front of the Home Depot retail building and garden center and to the West of the garden center along the western property line. The site plan for the 2010 SPARC review did not show a mobile rental equipment yard. Thus, Home Depot is currently in non-compliance with the conditions of approval and approved site plan of the 2010 SPARC review. As part of the SPARC application, the Applicant submitted a revised site plan that reflects current outdoor display and storage areas on the Site. The revised site plan also shows the proposed location of the rental mobile equipment yard. The rental yard will be moved from its current location to the northwest portion of the Site.

FINDINGS The LMC Section 17.40.020 E 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. Staff believes that SPARC can make the required findings and determination as described 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; Analysis: The Project complies with the development standards of PD 39, and the LMC (where the PD standards are silent), including setbacks, minimum and maximum height, site coverage, and parking. 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; and Analysis: The Project will not create any known impediments to surrounding developments. 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 staff recommended layout for the rental mobile equipment yard and the proposed landscape screening will be consistent with development contemplated by the development code. 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. 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 14 of 15 Analysis: The use of landscaping to shield storage areas will contribute to a desirable environment for customers, employees, and neighbors. 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 Project buildings would result in any detriments to public health, safety, or welfare. The Project has been designed to be consistent with the design guidelines of the LMC and will be reviewed for compliance with 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 Project is exempt from environmental review per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15303, as discussed below. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Project is Categorically Exempt according to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). This is the “Common Sense” exemption, which applies to projects as follows: “The activity is covered by the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.” This Project requests approval to install screen trees and wrought iron fencing at a home improvement center at 2960 Reynolds Ranch Parkway. Because this Site Plan and Architectural Review approval only includes minor physical alterations to the Site and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated, the Common-Sense exemption can be applied and no mitigation measures are required. Therefore, no further CEQA analysis is required for the Project. The Project is also categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (“New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”), which applies to projects as follows: “Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. Examples of this exemption include but are not limited to: … (e) Accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. Because this Site Plan and Architectural Review approval only contemplates installation of new fences and screening, this approval is categorically exempt from CEQA as new construction of small structures. 382242.1 SPARC Home Depot Outdoor Display and Storage Areas December 11, 2024 Page 15 of 15 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Staff’s recommended conditions of approval for the proposed Project are included in Attachment B of this report. STRATEGIC PRIORITY ADDRESSED: 5.A. Infrastructure: Community Development: Examine both public and private underutilized or vacant property City wide and consider approaches for achieving highest and best use, including policy or zoning modifications, for Council’s consideration.
