Since the original approval in 1984, eleven (11) Minor Modifications have been approved for this site including modifications to storefront and elevation designs, parking lot design, signs and landscaping; addition of vending machines and outdoor seating. DISCUSSION This Minor Modification request is a proposal to expand the existing 32,800 square foot Ralph's market by adding 15,488 square feet for a total market area of 48,288 square feet. To achieve this expansion, 6,213 square feet of existing retail shops together with excess parking /loading area behind the stores located to the west of the market will be demolished and the market expanded into this area. A portion of the market expansion occurs with the addition of 8,400 square feet at the northwest corner of the S:1Community DevelopmenhEveryone\City Council Agenda Reportslcc-000315 PD 980 Minor Mod 12.doc ( 00,0:iyu PD 980 Minor Mod 12 March 1, 2000 Page 2 existing market building located behind the existing shop buildings which is currently paved parking /loading area (see Exhibit 4). The proposed expansion will increase the total square footage at the shopping center from 122,945 square feet to 132,220 square feet, an increase of 9,275 square feet. The expansion will serve to enhance the function of the market. The proposed expansion located to the rear of reduction in the number 570 parking spaces to consistent with the num (504 parking spaces). Site Analysis will reduce the number of parking stalls the market and will result in an overall of total parking spaces at the center from 543.

The clay roof tile will match the existing roof tile and the stucco color and trim colors will match those of the existing building. Two nine (9) foot wide open beam trellises will be provided along the front of the grocery 0002Cj'- PD 980 Minor Mod 12 March 1, 2000 Page 3 store. No other modifications are proposed as part of this expansion. Site Landscaping The existing trees at this center are not consistent with the City's policy of achieving 50 percent of shade coverage in the paved area. The City's landscape consultant evaluated the site to determine potential landscaping modifications that could be incorporated within existing landscaped areas that would enhance the shade coverage. The recommendations for enhanced landscaping including achievement of shade coverage have been incorporated in the conditions of approval for this modification and are summarized below: • The addition of one minimum 24 inch box Eucalyptus tree on the east side of the easterly driveway on Los Angeles Avenue to match the existing species at that location. • The addition of one minimum 24 inch box Eucalyptus tree on the south side of the parking lot planter just west of the restaurant on the corner of Moorpark Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue to match the existing species in the adjacent planter. • The addition of one minimum 24 inch box Flowering Cherry Tree in the street side planter on the north side of the restaurant on the corner of Moorpark Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue to match the existing species along Moorpark Avenue. • Removal of approximately nineteen (19) Melaleuca trees throughout the parking lot. All trees are to be replaced with a minimum 24 inch box shade tree (type to be determined during the landscape review process) that will increase overall parking lot shading. • Replace approximately four (4) shrub standards (shrub pruned to look like a tree), the location of which is to be determined as part of the landscape plan review process with appropriate trees. • Add at least four (4) minimum 24 inch box trees (type to be determined during the landscape review process) to various empty locations throughout the parking lot. • Add one minimum 24 inch box Crape Myrtle to the east planter in front of the Post Office. PD 980 Minor Mod 12 March 1, 2000 Page 4 • Add one minimum 24 inch box Carrotwood tree to fill in an empty spot in the western portion of the planter along Los Angeles Avenue. • Add one (1) minimum 24 inch box Sweetgum tree to balance the corner planting at Moorpark Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue. • Fill in shrubs and ground covers as needed. • Add container plantings throughout the storefront areas to visually soften the buildings and to enhance the pedestrian experience. The requested addition to the Ralph's market will not adversely impact the available parking for the center as the number of available parking spaces exceeds the Ordinance requirement by 39 spaces. There will be no change to the loading area as a result of this expansion. The expanded area will maintain both the storefront appearance and the architecture as it presently exists. The landscaping within the parking lot area will be enhanced and shade trees incorporated which will complement the architectural features and improve the center. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Pursuant to California State law California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the proposed expansion to the shopping center of 9,295 square feet would be considered categorically exempt from CEQA requirements as a Class 1 exemption for minor alterations.
