TONIGHT'S PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN REVIEW 22 DASH ZERO THREE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 3,450 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 1130 SOUTH BEACH BOULEVARD.
DID WE RECEIVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM? NO, WE DID NOT.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? YES.
UM, THIS EVENING'S PROJECT, UH, INVOLVES, UH, THE DEMOLITION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF A COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
[00:05:02]
THE SUBJECT BUILDING IS LOCATED WITHIN THE LA HOPPER MARKETPLACE SHOPPING CENTER.AND THE ACTUAL PROJECT AREA IS LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CENTER.
THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT INVOLVES A DEMOLITION OF A 3,450 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE PLUS KARAOKE OR THE KARAOKE FACILITY AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF A SAME SIZE OF BUILDING 3,450 SQUARE FEET.
SINGLE STORY, UH, COMMERCIAL PAD BUILDING, UM, IN ADDITIONAL ONSITE IMPROVEMENT IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TRASH ENCLOSURE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
THE PAD BUILDING HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH TWO SUITES, SUITE A LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTHERLY SIDE WITH AN AREA OF 2100 SQUARE FEET.
WHILE SUITE B IS LOCATED ALONG THE NORTHERLY SIDE WHERE THE FLOOR AREA OF 1,350 SQUARE FEET, THE SWEET ENTRANCES WILL BE LOCATED ALONG THE EASTERLY SIDE OF THE BUILDING FACING THE PARKING LOT.
ALSO PROPOSED ALONG THE EASTERLY SIDE NEAR THE STREET.
ENTRANCES IS THE USE OF PAVERS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE FEATURE TENANTS, THE OPTION TO USE THAT SPACE FOR OUTDOOR SEATING.
THE TRASH ENCLOSURE LOCATED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WILL INCLUDE WALL-MOUNTED TRELLISES WITH MINE POCKETS, UH, FACING BEACH BOULEVARD AND SOUTH TOWARDS THE DENNY'S RESTAURANT TO HELP SCREEN THE ENCLOSURE.
THE BUILDING'S FOOTPRINT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO FIT WITHIN THE LIMITED BILLABLE AREA DUE TO THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY THAT WRAPS AROUND THE NORTHERLY SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
UM, SINCE THE REQUESTED DESIGN REVIEW INVOLVES THE APPROVAL OF THE BUILDING, STAFF WILL DETERMINE IF ANY ADDITIONAL ENTITLEMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE USE OF THE SPACE.
UM, ONCE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, UM, ALSO ONCE THE ACTUAL TENANTS ARE KNOWN, STAFF WILL DETERMINE IF THOSE USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING, UH, PARKING STUDY, UM, OR IF A SUBSEQUENT AGENDUM, UH, NEEDS TO BE PREPARED.
UM, AT THIS TIME STAFF WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT ORDINANCE 1 8, 3 9, WHICH APPROVED ZONE CHANGE 2201 FOR FOOD TO GO RESTAURANTS IS IN EFFECT.
UM, SO THIS ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW, UH, FOOD TO GO TYPE OPERATORS WITH LIMITED INTERIOR SEATING TO BE PERMITTED BY, RIGHT.
UM, IT ALSO MODIFIED THE PARKING STANDARDS WHERE FOOD TO GO TYPE RESTAURANTS HAVE THE SAME RATIO AS A RETAIL USE.
UM, SO THIS WAS MADE TO FAST TRACK, UH, FOOD TO GO FACILITIES AND NOT REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF DISCRETIONARY ACTION.
THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, UH, IT'S GONNA INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF PAINTED PLASTER WALLS, WOOD COMPOSITE, UH, BRICK SIDING, AND BLACK FABRIC AWNINGS.
UH, THE BUILDING YOU UTILIZE IS A CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WITH THE FLAT PARAPET ROOF, UH, BURIED IN HEIGHT AND THE SLIGHT ARTICULATION, UH, IN THE EXTERIOR BUILDING WALLS.
THE BUILDING COLORS INCLUDE WHITE AND GRAY, WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO THE COLORS FOUND ON THE 1901 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY BUILDING.
UM, THAT'S THE BUILDING THAT FRONTS ON TWO IMPERIAL HIGHWAY THAT INCLUDES THE STARBUCKS DRIVE THROUGH A RESTAURANT.
SO THAT BUILDING WAS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION IN 2018.
AND IT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2019.
SO BOTH BUILDINGS WILL HAVE A CONSISTENCY IN TERMS OF THEIR APPEARANCE.
UM, THE PROPOSED BUILDING MEETS ALL THE APPLICABLE ZONING STANDARDS, AS WELL AS THE GENERAL PLANS, GOALS AND POLICIES, WHICH ENCOURAGE THEIR REHAB AND RENOVATION OF UNDER COMMERCIAL CENTERS.
UM, WITH THE FINDINGS BEING MADE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF DESIGNER VIEW 22 DASH ZERO THREE.
UM, THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, COMMISSIONER MANLEY.
UH, NO QUESTIONS, DAVID, THANK YOU.
UM, IN READING THROUGH IT SAID THAT THERE WERE, UM, THREE OTHER THAT THE OTHER THREE PADS FOR, UM, FUTURE RESTAURANTS.
THE, THE INTENT IS TO LEASE THE TWO SUITES.
THERE'S TWO SUITES IN THE NEW BUILDING FOR RESTAURANTS, HOWEVER, THE OPERATORS OR THE USERS HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED.
BUT I SURE ROSS, NO QUESTIONS.
AND DAVID, A QUESTION ON THE, THE EXISTING ENTITLEMENT FOR THE ALCOHOL THAT'S SUNSETTING THAT'S EXPIRING THIS YEAR, RIGHT? UH, CORRECT.
THERE, THERE IS AN ACTIVE CUP FOR A TYPE 41 LICENSE AND ACTIVE CP FOR A RESTAURANT USE THAT WILL EXPIRE DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR.
[00:10:01]
DOES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FILE AN A TIME EXTENSION.THAT'LL KEEP THOSE ENTITLEMENTS ACTIVE FOR ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR.
SO, UM, AND THEN WILL THAT TIME OF EXTENSION COME BEFORE US? SO WE'LL JUST BE APPROVED ADMINISTRATIVELY.
WE'LL COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION, UH, UNDER A CONSENT ITEM.
THAT'S IT FOR QUESTIONS WITH ME DAVID 1150.
THAT'S THE DENNY'S RIGHT THERE.
IS THAT OPERATING CURRENTLY? YES, IT IS BACK.
IS IT THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER? YES.
AND SO THAT JUST IS SOME SORT OF A LEASE WITH DENNY'S.
I WOULD IMAGINE, I, I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS, BUT WE DO HAVE A MANAGEMENT COMPANY HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
UH, WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
MY NAME'S AMBER WESLEY I'M WITH DJ M CAPITAL AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE OWNER.
UM, WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL ON THIS BUILDING, UM, AND THE CHANGE FROM THE EXISTING DATED USE AND, UM, BUILDING TYPE AND LOOK, AND WE'D LIKE TO GET IT TO BE A MUCH MORE MODERN AND, UM, I GUESS BETTER LOOK TO THE CENTER TO BRING BETTER CUSTOMERS AND HOPEFULLY BETTER TENANTS TO THE CENTER THAT WILL BE OPENED ALL DAY.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY TENANTS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED, BUT WE HAVE QUITE A FEW INTERESTED TENANTS IN THE CENTER.
UM, BOTH RETAIL AND RESTAURANT TENANTS.
SO IT COULD BE THE FOOD TO GO USE AS DAVID MENTIONED, OR IT COULD BE A RETAIL USER AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY QUESTIONS? JUST HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.
UM, YOU'LL BE UPDATING THE LOOK, UM, THAT CENTER IN THAT LITTLE CORNER BACK THERE REALLY COULD USE A DRESS UP.
WANT TO SHARE ROSS ANY QUESTIONS THAT WASN'T VERY CLEAR? SO IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MATCH? I WAS READING THE DESCRIPTION AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING SUCH AS WHERE THE STARBUCKS AND THE CRUMBLE COOKIES AT.
SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO MATCH THE SAME FACADE LOOK KIND OF USE OF MATERIALS SO ON AND SO FORTH.
SO I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THAT IS OKAY.
I JUST DIDN'T WANT ANOTHER NEW FACADE WHEN YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE, NO.
UM, IN SPEAKING WITH STAFF, WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT ALL FUTURE BUILDINGS NEED TO BE UPDATED AND OR IF WE DO RUNNING RENOVATIONS TO BUILDINGS, THEY NEED TO BE UPDATED TO NOT THAT SAME ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AS THAT STARBUCKS BUILDING.
I THINK WITH YOUR PERMISSION CHAIR, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION BEFORE I DO THAT.
SHOULD WE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING? YEAH, LET'S JUST MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE AND NOT POSITION.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE, AN OPPOSITION OR ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE PROJECT? OKAY.
I'LL NOT CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING.
I MAKE A MOTION APPROVING RESOLUTION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE CITY OF LAHABRA PROVEN DESIGN REVIEW, 22 DASH ZERO THREE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 34 50 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 1130 SOUTH BEACH BOULEVARD.
AS PER THE APPROVED PLANS, MAKING THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS IN SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
AND THIS WILL BECOME FINAL IN 10 WORKING DAYS UNLESS IT'S APPEALED TO CITY COUNCIL.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM STAFF? YES.
UM, BEFORE YOU WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH A REFERENCE DOCUMENT, UM, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEMORIZE IT ALL BY NEXT WEEK OR TWO WEEKS BEFORE WE'LL HAVE TO TEST, BUT WE HOPE THE INFORMATION IN THERE PROVIDE USEFUL TO YOU AS WE WORK THROUGH VARIOUS DIFFERENT PROJECTS.
UM, IT'S GOT A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION IN IT, BUT IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF DETAILED STUFF.
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO MEMORIZE, BUT CERTAINLY A REFERENCE WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT EACH OF THE PARTICULAR TOPICS, UM, CHAPTER NUMBER SIX IS THE, PROBABLY THE, THE ONE MOST PERTINENT TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.
IT JUST TALKS ABOUT, UM, THE MAKEUP COMMISSIONS AND HOW PUBLIC MEETINGS WORK AND SOME JUST GENERIC ITEMS ALONG THOSE LINES.
[00:15:01]
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ON THAT AS, AS YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH IT.SO, UM, SO JUST DON'T HESITATE TO GIVE US A CALL, OUR LEISURE READING.
WILL THIS BE FOR THE TRAINING IN NOVEMBER? THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY THAT'S PUTTING ON THE TRAINING IN NOVEMBER.
SO THEY PROBABLY WILL USE A LOT OF THIS SAME, SAME MATERIAL.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT A PUBLISHED DOCUMENT PER SE.
UM, WE DOWNLOADED THIS OFF OF THEIR WEBSITE, UH, YOU KNOW, ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME AND CREATED THIS DOCUMENT FOR YOU.
BUT SO YEAH, YOU CAN GO LOOK AT THIS STUFF ONLINE AS WELL AT THEIR WEBSITE.
