[Public Hearing Item 2]
TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO.THIS IS THE HYUNDAI AUTO DEALERSHIP.
UM, IT'S SEQ EXEMPT AND IT'S THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL STAFF.
GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS MIKE VILLON, SENIOR PIONEER WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 4 52.
THE AFOREMENTIONED SPECIFIC PLAN GOVERNS THE PROJECT SITE 1155 GRAVES AVENUE, WHICH IS AT THE CORNER OF GRAVES AVENUE AND HEART DRIVE AT THE CITY LIMITS.
SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 4 52 CONSOLIDATES THE SEVEN SEPARATE ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS, WHICH MAKE UP THE SITE INTO A SINGLE 4.6 ACRE UNIT.
IT ALSO PROVIDES AN INCREASED HEIGHT LIMIT AND RESTRICTS USE OF THE SITE TO A RECREATIONAL FACILITY WITHOUT FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS.
[00:05:01]
FAMILY FUND CENTER AND BOOMERS PREVIOUSLY OPERATED AT THE SITE.PURSUANT TO THIS SPECIFIC PLAN, THE SITE IS WITHIN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLANE AND SAFETY ZONE SIX OF THE GILLE FIELD AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN.
MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS ARE TO THE NORTH OF THE PROJECT.
IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, ACROSS HEART DRIVE, A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS TO THE EAST, AND COMMERCIAL USES, INCLUDING TARGET ARE TO THE SOUTH.
THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED REGIONAL COMMERCIAL BY BOTH THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE.
THE GENERAL PLAN REGIONAL COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION IS INTENDED FOR LARGE SHOPPING CENTERS AND OTHER MAJOR USES IMPORTANT FOR SALES TAX GENERATION.
SIMILARLY, THE ZONING ORDINANCE ELABORATES THAT THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL ZONE IS INTENDED FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL SCALE COMMERCIAL THAT SERVE LARGE AREAS OF THE CITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL ZONE WOULD PERMIT A, UH, CAR DEALERSHIP WITH A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BUT THE PROPOSES INSTEAD TO AMEND THE EXISTING SPECIFIC PLAN TO AUTHORIZE THE AUTO DEALERSHIP AND CONSTRUCT ACROSS LOT LINES CONSISTENT WITH ZONING CODE REQUIREMENTS.
THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT SITE PLAN IS SHOWN HERE.
THE PROJECT PROPOSES A NEARLY 37,000 SQUARE FOOT DEALERSHIP BUILDING, WHICH INCLUDES SALES SERVICE AND PART STORAGE, AS WELL AS A 1,232 SQUARE FOOT CAR WASH BUILDING TO ITS EAST.
A NEW 30 FOOT WIDE COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY IS PROPOSED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GRAVES AVENUE AND HAR DRIVE, AND WILL FUNCTION AS A NIGHTTIME DROPOFF, UH, LOCATION FOR THE NEXT DAY'S SERVICE.
THE PROJECT PROPOSES TO PRESERVE THE SOUTHLY SITE, ACCESS THE OFF STREET PARKING AND LANDSCAPE AREAS AT THE SOUTH AND EAST ENDS OF THE SITE, AS WELL AS THE EXISTING BOUNDARY WALL.
AT TOP, THE NORTHERLY BOUNDARY WALL IS PROPOSED TO BE IMPROVED WITH SLATS.
TO IMPROVE PRIVACY FOR THE RESIDENCES ACROSS HEART DRIVE, LANDSCAPING WILL BE REQUIRED TO SCREEN THE SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY TO THE EAST.
SIGNS IS ALSO SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN.
HOWEVER, THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN INCLUDES A PROVISION PERMITTING SIGNAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SIGN ORDINANCE.
TWO, FREE-STANDING SIGNS MAY BE PERMITTED UNDER THE SIDE ORDINANCE.
HOWEVER, ANY SIGN EXCEEDING 15 FEET IN HEIGHT WILL NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IT WILL NOT CAST SHADOWS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
LASTLY, AS A PART OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT, GRAVES AVENUE WILL BE IMPROVED TO ENSURE THAT THE ROADWAY OPERATES SAFELY FOR ALL USERS WITH THE ADDITIONAL PROJECT TRIPS.
IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE EXTENSIONS TO BOTH THE EXISTING BICYCLE LANE AND THE TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE TO THE INTERSECTION OF GRAVES AVENUE AND HAR DRIVE.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE SHOWN IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED DEALERSHIP BUILDING AS IT WOULD APPEAR FROM GRAVES AVENUE.
THE STRUCTURE IS 28 FEET TALL AT ITS HIGHEST POINT AND IS CONTEMPORARY IN DESIGN.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BUILDING INCLUDES EXTENSIVE GLAZING AS WELL AS THE HONDA PATTERNED BRONZE METAL PANELING ACROSS THE PARAPETS SERVICE AND EXPRESS.
LU BAYS ALIGNED WITH THE NORTHERLY ACCESS PROJECT FROM THE BUILDING TO BREAK UP THE RECTANGULAR MASS.
THE SIDE AND REAR ELEVATIONS ARE SHOWN HERE.
THE GLAZING AND PARAPET VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT ELEVATION EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER TO THE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS OTHERWISE FINISHED WITH STUCCO.
REPEATED HORIZONTAL ALUMINUM REVEALS AND A CONTRASTING BAND OF STUCCO ARE INTENDED TO CONTINUE THE DESIGN THEME ACROSS ALL ELEVATIONS.
ALL ROOFTOP MECHANICAL WILL BE SCREENED FROM PUBLIC VIEW.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WILL ALSO REQUIRE THE ONSITE STRUCTURES TO COMPLY WITH THE FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION REGULATIONS AND A DETERMINATION FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION THAT ONSITE STRUCTURES DO NOT POSE A HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT ALSO INCLUDES A NUMBER OF PERFORMANCE STANDARDS TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
THESE GOOD NUM NEIGHBOR POLICIES RESTRICT ALL COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES TO PRIVATE PROPERTY, INCLUDING ALL PARKING NECESSARY FOR THE AUTO DEALERSHIP.
CAR WASH HOURS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE HOURS BETWEEN 7:00 AM AND 7:00 PM AND THE USE OF A PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM WILL BE PROHIBITED.
ALL SITE LIGHTING WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE SHIELDED AND DIRECTED DOWNWARD, AND TEST DRIVES WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO COMMERCIAL STREETS LIKE GRAVES AVENUE AS OPPOSED TO HEART DRIVE.
IN ORDER TO RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION NEEDS TO FIND THAT THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND THAT IT WILL IMPLEMENT THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN.
DRAFT FINDINGS ARE INCLUDED THAT DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT, SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST BY REDEVELOPING THE SITE WITH A QUALITY COMMUNITY SCALE COMMERCIAL USE, CONSISTENT WITH ADJACENT REGIONAL COMMERCIAL USES, AND THAT THE GENERAL PLAN IS IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE THE AMENDMENT FACILITATES A STRONG COMPETITIVE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL BASE.
THE PROPOSED PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO THE SECRET GUIDELINES SECTION 1 5 33 2, CLASS 32 EXEMPTION FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
[00:10:01]
RECOMMEND THAT PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE SE DETERMINATION AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT.THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S REPORT.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS PROJECT? I, I DID WONDER WHAT HYUNDAI BRAND BRONZE PANELS LOOKED LIKE AND IN THE, WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE, UM, AGENDA ONLINE, I COULDN'T QUITE SEE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS TONIGHT? YES, WE DO.
THE FIRST SPEAKER IS CHRIS GEORGE, AND, AND REALLY THE ONLY REASON I FILLED THAT OUT WAS TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
UH, SO I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
MICHAEL COVERED IT THOROUGHLY.
AND I'M SORRY, CHRIS, YOU ARE, I'M SORRY.
I, I, I, UM, PARTNER AND OPERATOR OF HYUNDAI OF OKLAHOMA.
YEAH, I HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE TELL ME, OH, IS THAT WHERE THE KIA DEALERSHIP IS GOING? I WAS LIKE, NO, I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S HYUNDAI KIA.
THEY'RE QUITE ANGRY AT US, ACTUALLY.
NO, THAT'S WHERE THE HYUNDAI STORE GOES.
I JUST FILLED THAT OUT TO SEE IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR I COULD ANSWER ANYTHING.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANTS? NO.
ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? YES, WE DO.
AGAIN, I JUST FILLED OUT A CARD IN CASE YOU GUYS HAD, UH, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE DESIGN OR THE SITE LAYOUT? I'M HERE.
UH, ANSWER ANYTHING YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN? I, I LOOKED IT OVER AND IT LOOKS VERY WELL DONE.
THE LAYOUT AND THE, UH, THE CIRCULATION OF THE VEHICLES AND PARKING ON SITE, I MEAN, IT'S UH, A GOOD PROJECT.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER DRIVEN TO THE END OF THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.
THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THE OWNER TOO, TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF IMPACT THAT WE HAD FOR THE NEW BUILDING.
SO I THINK WE DID THAT QUITE WELL.
AND I SAW NOTES ON LANDSCAPING BEING USED TO BLOCK THE PARKING LOT TO THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SIDE.
WHAT KIND OF LANDSCAPING ARE WE LOOKING AT? UH, YOU KNOW, I SAW A FEW TREES IN THERE ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
I, I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY GONNA BE AND KEEPING WITH, UH, THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY.
COMMISSIONER SERCO? I WOULD JUST ADD THAT THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WOULD BE DUE WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND THEN, UH, APPROPRIATE MATERIALS WOULD BE SELECTED AT THAT TIME.
SO I WAS WONDERING, CUZ WE DID, NORMALLY THERE'S A LANDSCAPE PLAN, BUT I GUESS NORMALLY WE'RE LOOKING FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.
THERE WAS A, A DRAFT LANDSCAPE PLAN INCLUDED, BUT, UM, STAFF FELT IT APPROPRIATE TO INCLUDE A CONDITION, UM, REQUIRING THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING THERE TO BE REFURBISHED WITH SOME SCREENING ELEMENTS.
OKAY, ANY FURTHER SPEAKER CARDS? WE DO.
JOYCE PETERSON WELCOME CAUSE PETERSON, P E T E R S O N.
MY BROTHER AND I OWN, UH, THREE 40 HEART DRIVE, CABO VERDE APARTMENTS.
I ALSO HAVE TWO HOUSES, UH, ON HEART DRIVE THAT I OWN AND ALSO, UH, FOUR 19 GREENFIELD ACROSS THE STREET.
AND, UH, I'M, WE'RE VERY EXCITED.
ALL MY TENANTS ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I THINK IT'S THE, WE MISS THE FAMILY FUND CENTER, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THAT? BUT, UH, THIS IS A GREAT USE FOR THIS PROPERTY AND WE WOULD URGE YOU TO, UH, ACCEPT IT.
I, I HAD A QUESTION ON THE BRICK WALL, UH, THAT'S ON HEART.
IS THAT GONNA STAY OR ARE THEY GONNA DEMO THAT STAFF? I BELIEVE I READ THAT IT'S, THE BRICK WALL IS STAIN, BUT IT'S BEING SUPPLEMENTED BY, UH, CHAIN LINK WITH SLATS.
THE, THE WALL IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN AND THERE'S ACTUALLY AN EXISTING, UH, CHAIN LINK FENCE, A TOP THE WALL NOW.
AND ESSENTIALLY, UH, THAT WOULD BE UPGRADED WITH, UH, A SIMILAR CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH, WITH SCREENING SLATS, UM, TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PRIVACY AND ALSO HARD, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH, THE PARKING IS JUST TERRIBLE.
I MEAN, IT'S FULL OF, UH, I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN I FIRST BUILT THE ORIGINAL COBO, THE APARTMENTS IN 1991,
[00:15:01]
THERE WAS ALWAYS PLENTY OF PARKING.BUT I GUESS BECAUSE OF CAR DEALERSHIPS
AND SO I WOULD HOPE THAT THE, AS FAR AS THEIR EMPLOYEES, THAT THEY SHOULD NOT PARK ON HEART DRIVE, YOU KNOW, THEY SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH PARKING FOR THE EMPLOYEES AND, AND THE CUSTOMERS AND PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING TO DROP OFF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THEIR CAR SERVICED.
I BELIEVE WHEN I WAS READING THE NOTES, IT MENTIONED THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS REQUIRED AND, UH, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS THAT ARE BEING SUPPLIED IS WELL ABOVE THAT NUMBER.
SO THE SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSES, UM, A PARKING RATE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU WOULD REQUIRE FOR LIKE A GENERAL, UH, RETAIL SALES USE.
I BELIEVE THEY'RE INITIALLY PROPOSING 136 STALLS.
THE SPECIFIC PLAN INCLUDES LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY, UH, REQUIRE THAT THE CAR DEALERSHIP PROVIDES SUFFICIENT PARKING AND SPACE FOR ALL ONSITE USES.
UH, AND ACTUALLY SPECIFICALLY RESTRICTS PARKING ON HART DRIVE, UM, SUCH THAT IF THEIR OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS DEMANDED IT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADJUST, UM, THE AMOUNT OF PARKING PROPOSED, THE INVENTORY AND, AND STORAGE ON SITE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS OF THEIR USE.
AND IF THE NEIGHBORS ON A HEART DRIVE EVER FELT THAT THERE WAS OVERFLOW, THEY COULD CONTACT THE CITY AND GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT.
THEN YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A NEW DRIVEWAY ON HART DRIVE OR WHAT WAS NOT ON HAR DRIVE, BUT TOWARDS, UH, TOWARDS HART DRIVE.
BECAUSE THE BOOMER'S PROPERTY ONLY HAS THE SOUTH SIDE WITH THE DRIVEWAY.
THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A FULL LOOP.
UH, GRAVES IS KIND OF A DANGEROUS STREET.
SO PART OF THE PROPERTY, UH, PART OF THE PROPOSAL IS TO ADD THE CENTER TURN LANE OR EXTEND THE CENTER TURN LANE.
RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT CENTER TURN LANE ENDS AT THE TARGET DRIVEWAY AND THEY'RE GONNA TAKE IT UP PAST, UH, UP TO THE CORNER OF HART AND GRAVES.
THEY WILL ALSO BE, UH, EXTENDING THE EXISTING BICYCLE LANE UP TO THE SAME INTERSECTION.
ANY FURTHER SPEAKER CARDS? NOPE.
IF ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK, YOU CAN COME FORWARD AND SPEAK AND FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD LATER.
WE'RE NOT GONNA FORCE ANYBODY TO SPEAK
I MOVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
I'LL SECOND MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SERCO, SECOND BY AAS PLEASE VOTE.
SO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS? NO, JUST LOOKING AT THE DESIGN.
I MEAN, THAT'LL BE A, YOU KNOW, BEAUTIFUL LOCATION AND UM, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'LL BE A NICE DESIGN, ESPECIALLY AS PEOPLE ARE COMING ON THE FREEWAY THAT'LL, YOU KNOW, THE CAR, THE CAR DEALERSHIPS HAVE REALLY GIVEN SOME NICE BUSINESS AND SOME NICE ARCHITECTURE TO EL CAJON.
SO, UM, YEAH, I MEAN THE FAMILY FUND OR BOOMERS WAS A FUN PLACE, BUT IT WAS KIND OF OLDER AND IT JUST SAT THERE UNUSED FOR SO LONG.
I WENT THERE AS MANY TIMES AS IT OPENED DURING C AND THEY STILL HAD TO CLOSE IT.
YEAH, I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WENT, I TOOK A PICTURE NEXT TO ONE OF THE FAMILY FUND CENTER TRASH CANS CUZ THEY NEVER TOOK THE CEMENT TRASH CANS OUT OR REBRANDED THEM.
AND I TOLD MY KIDS, THIS IS WHAT I WENT TO GROWING UP
BUT IN PHIL PROJECT, I, I KNOW WHEN, UH, BOOMERS OR FAMILY FUND CENTER, I FORGET WHO SOLD IT.
I REMEMBER HEARING THAT AN AUTO DEALERSHIP WOULD GO IN.
I WAS LIKE, EH, I LOVE OUR AUTO DEALERSHIPS.
I WISH THAT SOMEBODY COULD HAVE DONE AMUSEMENT PARK, BUT THIS IS A VERY NICE DESIGN.
IT'S VERY GOOD BUSINESS FOR THE CITY.
MORE JOBS AND KEEPS WITH THE AUTO DEALERSHIP AREA THERE.
I AGREE IT'S QUITE AN IMPROVEMENT.
THANK YOU FOR DOING BUSINESS IN AL CAJON.
I JUST WISH YOU COULD HAVE KEPT THE TRAIN AND JUST RUN IT ACROSS THE TOP OF THE AUTO DEALERSHIP.
ALL RIGHT, WELL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE NEXT RESOLUTIONS IN ORDER RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE CWE DETERMINATION AND SPECIFICALLY PLAN 2 20 22

SO I JUST WANTED THE COMMISSION TO KNOW THAT, UH, THAT THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

IS SOMETHING GONNA BE HAPPENING SOON TO THAT, UH, LOCATION? YES.
THERE WAS A, A MIXED USE PROJECT, UH, THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE CORNER, UM, A FEW YEARS BACK.
UM, IT HAS, UH, THE B BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, UH, AND THEY'VE COMMENCED CONSTRUCTION.
UM, SO THEY'RE DOING SOME INITIAL WORK ON, UM, FOOTINGS AND GRADING AT THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT IT SHOULD BE, UH, MOVING FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION IS A STAFF'S UNDERSTANDING AND I CAN SHARE THE, UM, THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS, UH, WITH THE COMMISSION.
ARE THEY GOING TO REBUILD, I REMEMBER THE INITIAL PROJECT WAS GOING TO CARVE OUT THE SHELL AND PRESERVE THE SHELL OF THE OLD JCPENNEY SLASH SALVATION ARMY.
ARE THEY GOING TO HONOR IT IN SOME WAY OR HAVE THEY JUST REMOVED THAT DESIGN ELEMENT ALTOGETHER? I DUNNO THE EXACT SPECIFICS.
I HAVE SEEN THE ELEVATIONS AND THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW THOSE CORRELATE TO THE ORIGINAL BUILDING FOOTPRINT, BUT, UH, I DEFINITELY CAN AFFORD THE INFORMATION ONTO THE COMMISSION.
YEAH, WHEN THEY EMPTIED IT OUT, THEY DISCOVERED THAT IT WOULDN'T HOLD UP TO EARTHQUAKE STANDARDS, SO THEY HAD TO KNOCK THE REST OF IT DOWN.
BUT THE INITIAL PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED PRESERVED THE ELEMENTS ON THE OUTSIDE.
UM, ANY COMMISSIONER REPORTS OR COMMENTS? OKAY, THEN I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT ADJOURNMENT.
