PD-90-4; Planned Unit Development (General Development and Precise Development Plans Combined) ; Planned Unit Development for a Single-Story Commercial Building with a Floor Area of 6,200 Square Feet, 15325 Hesperian Boulevard; Southwest Corner of Hesperian Boulevard and Springlake Drive; Assessor's Parcel Number 77C-1290-4; Jerry Kler, Architect; N (Nursery) District. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Associate Planner Norm Weisbrod said the property, located at the corner of Hesperian Boulevard and Springlake Drive, is a small parcel which was left over after the Lakeside Village apartment complex and Springlake Drive were .completed in 1970-71 . He said in 1989 the property was the subject of a Planned Unit Development application for the construction of two buildings with 9,000 square feet, which was denied. Tonight's proposal is for a new development, consisting of a single-story, 6,200-square-foot, retail - commercial building at the rear of the property for up to five tenants, with parking in the front of the building. He said the parking lot would be accessed from an entrance-only driveway on Springlake Drive and a two-way driveway on Hesperian Boulevard. He discussed the number of parking spaces, the architecture, the landscape plan, and a monument sign which must be reviewed with the Site Development Committee prior to installation. He said possible uses could include personal services such as a dry cleaners or office uses such as an insurance office. Mayor Karp said the City Council had concerns during the previous Planned Unit Development application discussions related to the traffic coming off the freeway onto Springlake Drive. He said the City Council expressed concern that the parking lot be adequately marked to indicate entrance-only on Springlake Drive. Mr. Weisbrod said the entrance-only driveway was approved by the City Traffic Engineer, and the parking lot will be striped and signed as appropriate. He also said that when the flyover is completed, it is anticipated that area traffic will decrease. Mayor Karp asked if consideration had been given to angling the driveway. Council Member Perry said she was still concerned about traffic backing up on Springlake Drive and the possibility of vehicles cutting through the parking lot to avoid the traffic signal . She noted the Traffic Engineer's analysis said the site could function adequately with only the Hesperian Boulevard driveway. Mr. Weisbrod said the developer did not feel the development could work without the Springlake Drive entrance, and the Traffic Engineer does not think the Springlake Drive entrance would be a problem. •
