2500 Davis Street 2 September 3, 2002 PLN2002-00031 adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program; rezone of the property from IG to IG-PD; approval of a Planned Development; and approval of a Tentative Subdivision Tract Map. This action by the Planning Commission was made at the request of the applicant, who did not want to have the item continued to another Planning Commission for further discussion. The concerns expressed by the Commission focused mainly on the funding and timing for proposed improvements to the Davis/Doolittle intersection. Some of the Commissioners were not comfortable with approving a project that would likely be partially built and occupied at least two years prior to the completion of certain proposed roadways improvements. In the interim, staff has worked with the applicant and is proposing amendments to the proposed conditions of approval that address the Planning Commission's concerns. These amendments are discussed further in the staff report under Board/Commission Findings. The minutes from the July 30, 2002 Planning Commission meeting are included as an attachment. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions for approval of the proposed project: A. Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program that provides mitigation measures required for the project to avoid significant effects on the environment. B. Rezone the property from IG Industrial General District to IG-PD, Industrial General Planned Development Overlay District. C. Approve a Planned Development to develop a new industrial business park, subject to recommended findings and conditions of approval. D. Approve Tentative Tract Map 7382 to create nine (9) total lots (8 lots for development with a single industrial building each and 1 lot comprised of the private access road and wetlands mitigation area), subject to recommended findings and conditions of approval. E. Direct staff to create and return to City Council for review and approval of a Traffic Impact Fee Area, which is to be established for funding of certain roadway improvements. BACKGROUND • The former Hohener meatpacking business ceased operation in 1991. The project site had been used for approximately sixty (60) years as a slaughterhouse, including the raising of cattle on -site and feed grain production. The project site has remained undeveloped during the interim, although certain uses (including storage of tires associated with the recycling activities occurring at the adjacent transfer station) have been allowed on -site.
