Boswell (Applicant) and J. Montero, 1. Silva and I. Heffernan; M. and H. Senna (Property Owners). SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The applicant and the property owners of the properties at the comer of Cherry Street and Hudson Lane approached the City to process a rezone to a commercial zoning that would be consistent with the General Plan designation, Corridor Mixed Use. Their ultimate goal is to propose an auto repair use on the two Cherry Street parcels, moving their operations from the current location at 2411 Washington Avenue. After analyzing this proposal, staff proceeded to enlarge the scope of the proposed rezone to CC Commercial Community, to include three other properties that are located in the vicinity that are also designated Corridor Mixed Use, to provide greater consistency for all five properties. The auto repair use is not under consideration with this proposed Rezone. If the rezone to CC is approved, any future auto repair use proposal would be conditionally permitted and would undergo a Conditional Use Permit review by the Board of Zoning Adjustments. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the proposed Rezone and Zoning Code map amendment of the subject properties to CC Commercial Community and the associated environmental documentation, and forward a recommendation of approval for the amendments and adoption ofthe Negative Declaration, to the City Council.
