1) Adopt the Negative Declaration based on the Initial Study prepared by staff;
2) Approve General Plan amendment application A09-0006 amending the land use designation for APN 327-140-07 from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (C) based on the Findings listed in Attachment 1;
3) Approve Z09-0012 rezoning APN 327-140-07 from One-Acre Residential (R1A) to Professional Office Commercial-Planned Development (CPO-PD) based on the Findings listed in Attachment 1;
4) Staff recommending the addition of Finding 3.5, which states: The Board finds that the Professional Office Commercial-Planned Development (CPO-PD) Zone District is more restrictive than the Commercial-Planned Development Zone District (C-PD) and, therefore, the anticipated impacts associated with the zone change are adequately addressed in the Negative Declaration considered by the Planning Commission based on the Initial Study prepared by staff.
5) Adopt Ordinance 4951 for said rezone; and
6) Continue item for final action to occur with the adoption of the Resolution approving the General Plan Amendments considered by the Board during the "General Plan Window", tentatively scheduled for September 14, 2010. (Supervisorial District III) (Est. Time: 2 Hrs.)
Body
Background: Request to consider General Plan Amendment A09-0006/Rezone Z09-0012/Pierce Trust submitted by ELIZABETH ANN WILLIAMS/Trustee (Agent: Gene E. Thorne & Associates, Inc.) to allow the following: (1) General Plan amendment amending the land use designation from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Commercial (C); and (2) Rezone from One-Acre Residential (R1A) to Commercial-Planned Development (C-PD). The property, identified by Assessors Parcel Number 327-140-07, consisting of 4.77 acres, is located on the east side of Greenleaf Drive, approximately 300 feet south of the intersection with Missouri Flat Road, in the Placerville periphery area, Supervisorial District III. [Project Planner: Jason Hade] (Negative declaration prepared)
These applications were considered by the Planning Commission on May 13, 2010 (conceptually denied, 3-1 [Mathews]), May 27, 2010 (continued to June 24, 2010 for further discussion and re-noticing, 3-0), and June 24, 2010 (approved with amendment to rezone request, 3-1 [Mathews]). The Planning Commission's final recommendation is to approve the rezoning to Professional Office Commercial-Planned Development (CPO-PD) instead of Commercial-Planned Development (C-PD). The minutes from these meetings are attached.
In accordance with the direction of the Planning Commission, staff analyzed the uses permitted in the Commercial Zone District (C) and the Professional Office Commercial Zone District (CPO) and found that the CPO Zone District is more restrictive than the C Zone District and, therefore, concluded that no further environmental review was necessary and that the proposed Negative Declaration, as recommended for adoption by the Planning Commission, may be adopted by the Board.
