Commissioners Dennis Schmidt and Chuck Ward.
CONSENT CALENDAR
1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING ON DECEMBER 16, 2008.
Vice Chairperson O'Grady pulled Item No. A-1 from the Consent Calendar for
discussion on the omission of Commissioner Comments in the minutes as to Items Nos.
1 and 2. He explained that there was lengthy Commissioner discussion on the items
listed in the minutes, but the minutes do not reflect the discussions. He stated that he
feels the minutes should not only show the vote for the record, but should also show the
questions asked of staff and the answers given to the Commission. On Item No. 2, Vice
Chairperson O'Grady had asked if a condition preventing the removal of trees until
construction was ready to begin would be appropriate.
Vice Chairperson O'Grady stated that similarly on Item No. 1, there were Commissioner
questions about creek setbacks, the difference between a minor CUP as opposed to a
major one, the number of accessory units allowed on a site, whether the HVAC was
allowable, and what the impacts of fire line construction might be on trees, as well as a
discussion on gutters and what constituted the attic.
Commissioner Bentz asked Community Development Director Warren Frace if the City
Attorney would be willing to comment to the Commissioners as to what should be
included in the minutes. Community Development Director Warren Frace stated the
City Clerk defines the policy and asked the City Clerk / Assistant to the City Manager
Marcia McClure Torgerson to comment.
City Clerk / Assistant to the City Manager Marcia McClure Torgerson stated the law
requires only to list who is present at the meeting, what the item is that is voted on, and
the end vote, and only requires to list the names of the public who spoke in favor or
against under Public Comment. The City Clerk stated if a Commissioner votes against
an item or if the staff's recommended motion is changed, either by wording or conditions
added, those Commissioner Comments would be included as a means of clarifying the
reasoning behind the change or opposition. The City Clerk stated if a Commissioner
states "for the record", those comments are included in the minutes.
Vice Chairperson O'Grady stated he noticed a distinct difference since Grace Pucci
prepared the minutes which seems to him to be a change in policy.
City Clerk / Assistant to the City Manager Marcia McClure Torgerson stated that there
has been no change in policy and each person has slightly different style.
PC Draft Minutes of 01/20/2009

Vice Chairperson O'Grady stated he wants the minutes of tonight's meeting to note his
objection to the total absence of Commissioner comments on Item Nos. 1 and 2 (from
the December 16, 2008 meeting), and he feels that is inappropriate and inaccurate way
in which to prepare the minutes.
MOTION: By Commissioner Bentz and seconded by Commissioner
Moreno to approve Item No. A-1, the Minutes of the Regular
Planning Commission Meeting of December 16, 2008, as
presented.
Motion passed 4:1:2 by a roll -call vote. (Vice Chairperson
O'Grady opposed; Commissioners Ward and Schmidt
abstained.)
MOTION: By Vice Chairperson O'Grady and seconded by
Commissioner Schmidt to include a brief summary of each
agenda item including Commissioner comments in all future
minutes.
Commissioner Sturtevant agreed with the City Clerk in including exactly what is required
and feels staff is doing a fine job and expressed his support.
Commissioner Moreno agreed with Commissioner Sturtevant and stated she would trust
staff that they are doing what our policies require.
Chairperson Jack stated the City Clerk has been quite clear about what is required; and,
if there is something that a Commissioner wants included in the minutes, they need only
to request those comments be included.
City Clerk / Assistant to the City Manager Marcia McClure Torgerson told the
Commissioners they can always call staff for a clarification on minutes before they
reach the Planning Commission for approval. The City Clerk stated we are always
trying to streamline and cut costs.
Commissioner Bentz stated over his long tenure in municipal government, the only
requirement is to record the action taken, which he supports.
Vice Chairperson O'Grady stated his only request was for a brief summary of the
reasons why commissioners voted a certain way.
Commissioner Bentz stated he felt Vice Chairperson O'Grady was asking to clarify his
own position and not to clarify the Planning Commission's position.

City Clerk / Assistant to the City Manager Marcia McClure Torgerson stated most cities
that are going to action minutes only are doing so because the meetings are televised

video.
Commissioner Ward called for the vote.
Motion failed 1:6 by a roll -call vote. (Commissioners

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
• Community Development Director Warren Frace referenced a notice of meeting
next week on a proposed amendment to the Dove Creek Development where
Tractor Supply Company wants to include a store in this project; and due to the
Brown Act, it would be best not to attend and staff will update you on the
neighborhood concerns. This issue will be on the February 17, 2009, agenda.
• The Planners' Institute is scheduled for March 25 -27, 2009.
• Commissioner Bentz asked about the January 27, 2009 City Council meeting
wherein the Wal-Mart project will be discussed and asked if the Commissioners
should attend. Community Development Director Warren Frace stated it would
be fine to attend as it will be an interesting discussion and there are no Brown
Act issues there to be concerned about.

Time Extension #2
4705-4713 EI Camino Real
(Acacias Development/JRW Group)
SUBJECT:
The consideration of a one-year time extension for Tentative Tract Map 2005-0076 and
CUP 2005-0170.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC 2009-0008 thereby
approving a one-year time extension of Tentative Tract Map 2005-0076 and CUP 2005-
0170 in compliance with Sections 11-4.23(a) and 11-4.33(b) of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
SITUATION AND FACTS:
1. Owner: The Acacias Development, LLC
81912 th Street, Suite 202, Paso Robles, CA 93446
2. Applicant: JRW Group

APN: 029-271-001
4. General Plan Designation: General Commercial (GC)
5. Zoning District: Commercial Retail (CR)
6. Site Area: 1.71 acres
7. Existing Use: Vacant
8. Environmental Status: Certified Mitigated Negative Declaration 2005-0063
DISCUSSION:
Background:
On February 14, 2006, an application for a vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and
associated Conditional Use Permit was received to build a mixed use development
consisting of commercial space on the lower floor and residential units on the upper
floor. The proposed development includes two multi -family residential buildings totaling
41 units and 8,000 square feet of commercial space on a 1.71 acre lot. The proposed
site plan has been designed to meet the requirements of the Atascadero Municipal
Code and the Appearance Review requirements of the General Plan.
Analysis:
The Subdivision Map Act mandates an initial two-year life and, by local ordinance, the
City can extend initial life up to an additional 12 months. Additionally, the City may
extend the time at which the map expires for a period or periods not to exceed a total of
five years (these are discretionary extensions). The approved Conditional Use Permit
also requires an extension. The application for the extension must be filed prior to the
expiration date. The Planning Commission has discretion on whether they want to
extend the map, or they can defer the decision to the City Council.
The Planning Commission may add or modify any conditions of approval, prior to
granting the Time Extension, to ensure the project remains consistent with updated
ordinances and policy. Staff is not recommending any modifications with this Time
Extension.
On July 15, 2008, the California State Senate approved Senate Bill 1185. The recently -
enacted SB 1185 revised certain State law provisions regarding the duration of tentative
maps. The bill states that if a map has not expired as of the date of SB 1185 (July 15,
2008), but will expire sometime before January 1, 2011, the map is automatically
extended another 12 months in addition to any time extensions approved by the City.
This extension is automatic because it is phrased in mandatory terms without reference
to an application, whereas the other extensions require an application and City review
and approval. This automatic extension granted by SB 1185 does not require any
action by the City.
The proposed Time Extension which the applicant has applied for would be added to
the automatic extension granted by SB 1185, thereby extending the map until February
14, 2011.
Tentative Tract Map
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map was approved as part of the project consistent with the
proposed Master Plan of Development and PD -27 Zone Change. Also included is a
condominium map to allow individual ownership of the units, mixed-use residential units,
and commercial tenant spaces. The Tract Map was conditioned to meet all City
standards including on-site and off-site street improvements. No additional conditions
are recommended at this time.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed project remains consistent with the following General Plan Land Use and
Housing Element Policies:
Land Use Policy 1.1: "Preserve the rural atmosphere of the community and assure
"elbow room" in areas designed for lower density development by guiding new
development into the Urban Core to conform to the historic Colony land use patterns of
the City and to respect the natural environment, hillside area and existing
neighborhoods".
Land Use Program 1.1.7: "Within the Urban Core encourage infill development or
revitalization or reuse of land already committed to urban development where utilities
and public services exist.
Land Use Policy 2.1: "Ensure that new development is compatible with existing and
surrounding neighborhoods".
Land Use Policy 3.1: "Encourage retail businesses at efficient and attractive nodes
along El Camino Real and Morro Road with mixed office and residential uses between
those nodes."
Housing Element Policy 1.1: "Encourage steady production of new housing, including
mixed-use projects in commercial land use areas, to meet the needs of all household
types in the City."
Housing Element Policy 2.1: "Promote development and construction of new housing
units for ownership, especially by low and moderate income families"
Housing Element Policy 4.3: "Encourage attractive architecture and site landscaping
that respect terrain and native trees".
In staff's opinion the proposed project remains consistent with the goals and policies of
the Land Use Element and the Housing Element. As conditioned, the project
incorporates elements that are consistent with the scale and character of the
surrounding neighborhood and the goals and policies of the General Plan.

DISCUSSION:
Background
On September 14, 2004, the City Council approved the Dove Creek development which
consists of 279 residential units (attached multi -family, courtyard homes, and small lot
single-family) and a 60,000 square -foot commercial center located on the corner of EI
Camino Real and Santa Barbara Road. As part of the project approval, the City
imposed a condition on the Dove Creek Commercial Center to incentivize development
of the center by requiring that the applicant pay the estimated sales tax revenue to the
City for the portion of time that the commercial center remained undeveloped and that
the commercial property be deeded to the City if in 10 -years the center had not been
developed.
CUP condition 10:
Prior to map recordation, the applicant shall deposit $400,000 to the City to be placed in an interest bearing
account. If a building permit for a minimum of 45,000 square feet has not been issued by July 1, 2006, the City
shall withdraw $40,000 from the account. If, in each successive year on July 1, 2007 through July 1, 2015, a
building permit has not been issued for a minimum of 45,000 square feet, the City shall withdraw $40,000. At
such time that the building permit is issued for a minimum of 45,000 square feet, the remaining balance shall be
refunded to the applicant.
If a building permit has not been issued for a minimum of 45,000 square feet by July 1, 2016, the applicant
shall convey the commercial site to the City. A memorandum of option or deed of trust shall be recorded
concurrent with map recordation that assures the City that it can acquire the commercial site, subject to
review and approval by the Community Development Department and City Attorney.
Tractor Supply Company (TSC) has expressed an interest in locating a retail store in
the Dove Creek development. A City -sponsored neighborhood meeting was held on
January 28, 2009, to allow the residents an opportunity to discuss any issues and/or
concerns with the proposed project. The Dove Creek Homeowner's Association (HOA)
letter listing the neighbors' concerns and the applicant's response is attached as
Attachment 3. The following list summarizes the neighborhood concerns about the
proposed project.
1. Site Lighting and Glare — (especially associated with the outdoor sales area)
2. Provision of Additional "Pull -Through" Parking Spaces (allows larger vehicle(s)
with trailers)
3. Screening of Outdoor Sales Area
4. Larger Patron Vehicles than Originally Anticipated
5. Type of Products to be Displayed in Front of the Store
6. Shared Road Maintenance with the HOA

In addition to the site plan change, the PD 12 language currently restricts the sales of
farm equipment and supplies to indoor sales only. The proposed zone text amendment
would eliminate the "indoor only" restriction allowing for the proposed outdoor sales
area.
TSC sells lawn and garden materials, ride -on lawn mowers, tractor parts, farm supplies,
clothing, and similar goods to the public. Their company fact sheet has been provided
as Attachment 4.
Surrounding Land Use and Setting:
ANALYSIS:
Economic Impact Analysis
North: Dove Creek Residences
South: Commercial
East: Public
West: Dove Creek Residences
The proposed commercial use is consistent with the City's economic development goals
and allows for the development of a currently vacant commercial site. As the previously
imposed condition of approval requires development of a minimum of 45,000 square -
feet by 2016 to avoid deeding the land over to the City, it is expected that once building
permits are obtained for the major commercial tenant, the remainder of the center will
be constructed.
While the City is withdrawing $40,000 per year until the minimum of 45,000 square -feet
is constructed and thus, sales tax impacts of the vacant center at this time are
minimized, construction of the center will provide long-term sales tax revenue and
provide jobs and salaries that circulate back into the local economy. Staff expects the
store's sales tax to be a positive revenue generator for the City of Atascadero.

DATE: 3-3-09
The current City Council has identified economic development as its number one
priority. The City Council is very interested in increasing the City's tax base and
expanding business within the City of Atascadero. It appears the construction of a TSC
store and the adjacent commercial buildings are consistent with the City Council's
economic development goals.
Appearance Review
The approval of the Dove Creek Master Plan included concept architecture for the
commercial center consistent with the residential project themes. The current applicants
have retained the architect who originally designed the Commercial Center and the
architecture for TSC and the other minor tenant buildings has been refined to provide
greater specificity regarding architectural style and detailing.
w,rI--"
I Outdoor Sales Area I
Original Master Plan Architecture
— Pad "A" and `B"
Proposed Architecture — Pad "A"
(Tractor Supply Company)
The proposed TSC building, consistent with the minor tenant buildings, includes the
following architectural features:
• Combination of stucco and wood siding elements
• Double post columns consistent with the rest of the center
• Architectural trellis features
• Stylized brackets at the gable ends
The outdoor sales area was designed to incorporate architectural features and provide
screening from the adjacent residential uses. The outdoor area is proposed to be
enclosed by a decorative trellis which includes a solid lower wall and decorative
pilasters, wrought iron fencing, and a trellis structure for added screen height.
Landscaping is also provided between the parking lot and the outdoor sales area.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
These screen features will face the residences, EI Camino Real, and the minor
commercial tenants.
Due to the elevation of the adjacent Santa Barbara / EI Camino Real intersection, the
Dove Creek Commercial Center is depressed below grade level where the proposed
TSC building is proposed. As such, the applicant is proposing an architectural tower
element at this location which exceeds the maximum commercial height of 35 -feet by 5 -
feet (for a total tower height of 40 -feet). However, the tower element measures
approximately 25 -feet above the adjacent grade level at the intersection. A finding is
included to allow this code exception based on the unique site characteristics.
Site Design
The site plan for the commercial center has minor changes including modifications to
the footprint of Building A and slight modifications to the parking lot to allow for three (3)
pull through parking spaces designed to provide for trucks with trailers. In addition, the
outdoor areas surrounding the minor tenant buildings has been refined to show areas
for outdoor dining and other pedestrian oriented features.
Staff has conditioned that all parking lot landscaping be installed with the construction of
the parking lot and that entry feature and screening landscaping along the street
frontages be installed with the first phase of the development as feasible (construction
of the first building) (Condition 9). This will ensure that the landscaping will provide
maximum screening of the commercial center even without full development of the site
as part of the first phase.
Neighborhood concerns
The following analysis addresses issues and concerns cited by neighborhood residents
and the HOA regarding the proposed project amendments. These issues were identified
as a result of the January 28, 2009, neighborhood hosted by the City and the applicant.
1. Site Lighting and Glare — (especially associated with the outdoor sales area)
The Atascadero Municipal Code contains standards for lighting throughout the
City and lists particular glare reduction and lighting standards for commercial
centers adjacent to residential uses. In addition, the certified environmental
document for the project contained additional lighting standards as mitigation
measures for the project.
The Dove Creek Development includes a number of street lights similar to the
Downtown Atascadero streetlights. These lights can provide for dark sky
shielding however, they cannot be focused and shielded as effectively as
standard parking lot lights in regards to ground illumination.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
Staff has conditioned that more standard shielded "shoebox" parking lot lights be
utilized to eliminate glare and maximize ground illumination control (Condition 7).
The condition requires that all parking lot lighting will be required to be fully
shielded and directed so that only the parking lot is illuminated. Off-site (onto
adjacent streets) light spillage will be minimized by the shielding.
If the Planning Commission wants to recommend that the Dove Creek
Commercial Center match the existing Dove Creek decorative street lights, this
condition should be eliminated.
The neighborhood residents raised concerns about additional security lighting for
the requested outdoor sales area. The same municipal code standard for light
shielding applies to all building mounted and security lighting. In addition, there is
a parking area between the proposed outdoor sales area and the adjacent
private street (Cashin St). This parking area will be illuminated by pole lighting
and can be used to provide spill-over lighting to the outdoor sales area thus
minimizing the need for additional security lighting. Staff has added conditions of
approval to ensure that all site lighting, including security lighting, complies with
the municipal code standards and project mitigation measures (Condition 7).
2. Provision of Additional "Pull -Through" Parking Spaces (allows for larger
vehicle(s) with trailers)
The proposed site plan provides three (3), pull-through spaces adjacent to the
outdoor sales area. TSC has stated that this is a standard number that they use
for other store locations and they believe that this number is adequate. Project
residents believe that additional spaces need to be provided to ensure that larger
vehicles and vehicles with trailers can be accommodated on site.

ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
The proposed site plan does include an aisle of parking where no wheelstops are
proposed and could allow for larger vehicles with trailers however; these spaces
are not specifically designed as pull through spaces as there is a line delineating
space for two (2) cars to park. In addition, the spaces are currently designed as
compact spaces. Staff has conditioned that the spaces be redesigned as regular
spaces to allow for pull-through overflow parking (Condition 8). Staff believes that
there are sufficient opportunities for parking of various sizes of vehicles as
conditioned. The Planning Commission could add a condition recommending that
the City Council require additional pull-through spaces.
3. Screening of Outdoor Sales Area
Residents adjacent to the outdoor sales area expressed concerns regarding the
appearance of the outdoor area and the visual impact from their homes. The
applicant has provided a decorative screen wall and trellis feature around the
entirety of the outdoor sales area which features a split face concrete block base
and column pilasters, wrought iron fencing, and wood trellis above. The applicant
has also provided a line of sight analysis depicting the visual impact from
adjacent residences as shown below (additional sections show in resolution
exhibits).

SECTION 2
The applicant believes that the decorative screen wall, in addition to the
Commercial Center landscaping provided between the residences and the
outdoor sales area mitigates the visual impacts of the outdoor sales component.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
4. Larger Patron Vehicles than Originally Anticipated
The Commercial Center was designed as a neighborhood commercial center
providing retail and office uses. The neighborhood residents believe that the
outdoor component added to the farm equipment and supply use will attract
larger patron vehicles than originally anticipated when the project was approved.
As this use was allowed as part of the PD 12 (restricted to indoor only) staff
believes that similar business patrons would visit the store.
The proposed TSC business will require delivery trucks to enter and exit the site.
The commercial center was designed to accommodate large delivery trucks and
the delivery trucks used by TSC are the same size or smaller, and deliver less
frequently than those for a grocery store for example. As the Dove Creek
Commercial Center was designed to accommodate a variety of commercial uses,
staff believes that vehicle usage associated with TSC is consistent with the
original intent of the commercial center.
5. Type of Products Displayed in Front of the Store
Can include the following on a seasonal basis:
• Riding lawn mowers
• Push lawn mowers
• Garden carts
• Mow -N -Vacs
• Wheelbarrows
• Chippers and shredders
• Log splitters
• Go Karts
• ATV's and UTV's
• Bagged fertilizers
• Bagged grass seed
• Bagged pine shavings
• Windmills
• Dog houses
• Dog pens
• Rubber stall mats
• Assorted bale feeders
• Assorted 3 -point equipment
• Mineral block feeders
Staff has added a condition restricting the display of large vehicles/items to the
display area adjacent to both the retail building and outdoor sales area as shown
above (Condition 14).
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
6. Shared Road Maintenance
The Dove Creek Development was approved with the Dove Creek Commercial
Center as part of the Master Plan of Development. Access to the center was
approved as part of the original project and has not been modified with this
proposal. The driveways cannot be relocated off of ECR and/or Santa Barbara
Rd. due to traffic, grading, and public works safety standard impacts. The original
Commercial Center ingress and egress locations were based on the traffic
analysis that was part of the original Master Plan of Development Mitigated
Negative Declaration. Staff has received and reviewed the maintenance and
association documents from the County Recorder's office and the Commercial
Center does not currently participate in the maintenance of the roads. Staff has
included a condition requiring the commercial owner to enter into a maintenance
agreement with the appropriate entity to cover impacts and maintenance to the
adjacent streets (Condition 15).
Proposed Planned Development Overlay Zone #12 Text Change
As previously mentioned, the proposed project requires a change in the existing PD -12
Overlay District Text of the project site. The revised text will allow the outdoor sales
component of TSC within the Dove Creek Commercial Center. While this text change
applies to the entire site and not just the proposed tenant, any other changes to the
Master Plan of Development to provide for additional outdoor sales areas associated
with a farm equipment and supply business would require a similar amendment and
would require Planning Commission approval. The current list of allowed uses is as
follows showing the proposed text amendment:
(a) Broadcast studios;
(b) Building materials and hardware (indoor only)
(c) Food and beverage retail sales;
(b) Furniture, home furnishings and equipment;
(c) General merchandise stores;
(d) Mail order and vending;
(e) Temporary or seasonal sales
(f) Financial services;
(g) Health care services;
(h) Offices;
(i) Small scale manufacturing;
Q) Temporary offices
(k) Personal services;
(1) Light repair services;
(m) Eating and drinking places;
(n) Membership organizations;
(o) Horticultural specialties
(p) Schools --business and vocational
(q) Business support services, where all areas of use are located within a building;
ITEM NUMBER: 3

(r) Farm equipment and supplies (+ndeer erg;
(s) Fuel and ice dealers
(t) Hotels and motels;
(u) Skilled nursing facility
(v) Bed and breakfast;
(w) Funeral services;
(x) Schools
(y) Utility service center;
(z) Libraries and museums;
(aa) Temporary events
The neighborhood residents have expressed concerns regarding the compatibility of the
outdoor sales area component with the Dove Creek development. The applicant has
designed the project to be sensitive to neighborhood compatibility issues adding
architectural features and high quality screening to the outdoor sales area. The
applicant believes that the architectural design and added screening of the outdoor
sales area create a compatible business.
Findings
As specified in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the following findings for
the proposed Zone Text Change and Master Plan of Development Amendment must be
made in order to recommend approval of the proposed project.
PD -12 Overlay Zone Text Change Amendment
1. Modification of development standards or processing requirements is warranted
to promote orderly and harmonious development.
2. Modification of development standards or processing requirements will enhance
the opportunity to best utilize special characteristics of an area and will have a
beneficial effect on the area.
3. Benefits derived from the Overlay Zone cannot be reasonably achieved through
existing development standards or processing requirements.
Conditional Use Permit (Master Plan of Development) Amendment
The Planning Commission must make the following five findings to recommend
approval of the proposed Master Plan of Development:
1. The proposed project or use is consistent with the General Plan and the City's
Appearance Review Manual.
Staff Comment: The proposed project amendments are consistent with the General
Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Appearance Review Manual. The project has been
designed to be consistent with the previously approved architecture for the Dove
Creek Commercial Center.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
2. The proposed project or use satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning
Ordinance) including the Planned Development Ordinance.
Staff Comment: As amended and conditioned, the project satisfies all conditional
use permit and planned development zoning code provisions.
3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not,
because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property
or improvements in the vicinity of the use.
Staff Comment: The proposed amendment to building pad A and B and the addition
of an outdoor sales component will not be detrimental to the general public or
working persons health, safety, or welfare.
4. That the proposed project or use will not be inconsistent with the character or the
immediate neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development.
Staff Comment: The proposed project is consistent with the intent to provide
commercial services at the Dove Creek Commercial Center. The project has been
architecturally designed to be consistent with the approved Master Plan of
Development. The proposed project provides a commercial development at a
currently vacant commercial location. Staff believes that the proposed amendments
are consistent with the intent of the Dove Creek Commercial Center concept and is
consistent with the surrounding master planned community.
5. That the proposed use or project will not generate a volume of traffic beyond the
safe capacity of all roads providing access to the project, either existing or to be
improved in conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of the
surrounding neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance
with the Land Use Element.
Staff Comment: The proposed project and use will not generate traffic volumes in
excess of generation estimates for the approved Commercial Center. The proposed
amendments remain consistent with the previous traffic analysis for the commercial
Center and the certified Mitigated Negative Declaration. All improvements from that
document and as listed in the previous conditions of approval for the project,
including acceleration and deceleration lanes, have been constructed.
Based on staff's analysis in the preceding sections, it appears that all of the required
findings for approval of the proposed amendments to the Dove Creek Master Plan of
Development (Conditional Use Permit) can be made. As conditioned, changes to the
Master Plan of Development can be made by the Planning Commission in the future
without Council action.
ITEM NUMBER: 3
DATE: 3-3-09
Proposed Environmental Determination
The proposed amendments to the Commercial Center are consistent with the previously
certified Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Dove Creek development.
CONCLUSION
The proposed amendments to the Dove Creek development would allow for the
construction of a Tractor Supply Company store with an outdoor sales area at pad "A" of
the Dove Creek Commercial Center master plan. The proposed amendment modifies
the footprint area for pad "A" and requests a Zone Text Amendment to the PD -12
Overlay Zone to allow for the outdoor component of the business. The project
architecture has been designed to be compatible with the previously approved Dove
Creek master plan and the outdoor area includes features designed to screen the
outdoor use area from adjacent residences. The project provides a construction
opportunity for an existing vacant site within the City. Staff believes that the proposed
amendments, with conditions, meet the required findings for approval.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Commission may recommend modifications to the project and/or conditions
of approval for the project to the City Council.
2. The Commission may determine that more information is needed on some
aspect of the project and may refer the item back to the applicant and staff to
develop the additional information. The Commission should clearly state the type
of information that is required and move to continue the item to a future date.
3. The Commission may recommend the City Council deny the project. The parcel
would retain its current PD -12 and commercial zoning with mixed-use land use
designation. Commercial development that is consistent with the approved PD -
12 Text and Master Plan of Development would only require a building permit to
proceed. The Commission should specify the reasons for denial of the project
and make an associated finding with such action.
