Platt Project
(PD 2003-1 |
Mrs. Forbes,
Principal Planner, Community Development Department, requested the Council
consider the second reading of an ordinance to approve a mixed use
development in the Media District. She reported that on
December 7, 2004,
the Council held a public hearing to consider a proposal by PW, LLC to
construct a mixed use project. She noted that following public testimony,
rebuttal from the applicant and Council deliberation, the Council voted
4-1 to: adopt the Water Supply Assessment, certify the Environmental
Impact Report, amend the General Plan for this site to allow for
residential uses; and, approve a vacation of the street and alleys
surrounding the subject property and vesting tentative tract map, both
contingent upon approval of the project. She also stated that the Council
completed a first reading to adopt the ordinance approving the Planned
Development with the accompanying Development Agreement and conditions.
Mrs. Forbes informed
the Council that the modified project consists of: 250 condominium units,
a decrease from 298 units; a church; child care facility for 72 children;
and, approximately 20,500 square feet of retail restaurant space. She also
noted that the public health club facility was eliminated.
Mrs. Forbes added
that at the continued public hearing of
January 11, 2005,
the Council considered additional modifications which, although not voted
on, generally pertained to reducing the height of the tallest building to
93 feet and reducing the number of units to 220. Additionally, the
Council discussed defining height as a maximum envelope requiring all
mechanical equipment and roof features to be within the envelope thereby
lowering the height of all buildings which are traditionally measured only
to the ceiling.
Mrs. Forbes stated
that the Council ultimately agreed to continue the second reading to allow
the applicant time to develop a massing model to better visualize the
project in relation to other residential development within the area. She
added that the applicant is required to complete the project within one or
a maximum of two phases and must contribute $500,000 towards a Media
District shuttle service program and $1.7 million towards affordable
housing within the City.
Mrs. Forbes noted
that an addendum to the Environmental Impact Report that was previously
certified by the Council has been prepared, stating that the modifications
made to the project at the December 7, 2004 and January 11, 2005 public
hearings have been adequately studied and do not result in new or greater
significant impacts than those already identified. Additionally, she
stated that should the Council move a second reading of the ordinance,
staff has prepared a resolution modifying the California Environmental
Quality Act findings to more accurately depict the modified project.
Following Council
deliberation, Mr. Vander Borght suggested that the project be approved at
93-foot, 73-foot and 50-foot building height envelopes; with a maximum of
220 units; that the associated mitigation fees be paid; a 15-foot minimum
setback be required along Olive Avenue and the minimum unit size be
established at 1100 square feet.
Mr. Golonski, Mr.
Campbell and Mrs. Ramos concurred with Mr. Vander Borght.
Ms. Murphy stated
she would not support the project due to the R-5 density standard.
|
|
Motion
|
It was moved by Mr.
Vander Borght and seconded by Mr. Golonski that �the following resolution

70 feet and 50 feet; a 15-foot setback along
Olive Avenue;
and, a minimum unit size of 1100 square feet. Also, the development was
required to contribute funds equal to
10 percent of the number of units to the affordable housing fund.�
