DATE: January 28, 1993 (CC meeting of February 3, 1993)
SUBJECT: MCDONALD'S CORPORATION, CPD 92-2, LDM 92-1, ZC 92-4
MINOR MODIFICATION NUMBER ONE (1)
BACKGROUND:
On November 4 , 1992 , the City Council approved Zone Change 92-4 for
the construction of a McDonald' s restaurant on the northeast corner
of Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue. The Planning Commission was
the approval body for the Commercial Planned Development (CPD) and
Land Division Map (LDM) ; approval for the CPD and LDM was
conditional upon Council approval of Zone Change 92-4 .
The purpose of this staff report is to inform the Council of the
Director' s decision to allow a modification to CPD condition number
95a pertaining to the amount of landscaping to be provided as a
landscaping buffer adjacent to the curb on New Los Angeles Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Conditions 95a - language:
A portion of Commercial Planned Development 92-2 , Condition of
Approval number 95a requires that McDonald' s Corporation construct
"a no less than five (5) foot landscaped area adjacent to the
curb" , see attachment number 1.
Land Dedication:
Los Angeles Avenue:
After dedication of land to Caltrans to obtain an ultimate street
width of 118 feet on New Los Angeles Avenue, eight feet of land
will remain on New Los Angeles Avenue for the placement of the
required sidewalk and landscaping buffer adjacent to the curb (see
condition number 95a, attached) .

To require McDonald's to install a five foot landscaped buffer
adjacent to the curb on New Los Angeles Avenue would result in re-
negotiation of the amount of land to be purchased because an
additional two feet of land would be required to be purchased. This
would result in a modification to the proposed property lines which
could, potentially, lead to total project re-design.
The City may achieve the desired landscaping buffer by requiring
the installation of three feet of landscaping adjacent to the curb
on New Los Angeles Avenue instead of the five feet required by
condition number 95a. The installation of three feet of landscaping
adjacent to the curb on New Los Angeles Avenue would be consistent
with the landscaping adjacent to the curb in front of the Moorpark
Pines apartment site, east of the McDonald' s project site and would
accomplish the City' s goals of a landscaping buffer without
burdening McDonald's Corporation with a lot line adjustment
process.
Spring Road:
Consistent with the existing landscaping north of the McDonald ' s
site, McDonald's Corporation will install a five foot landscaped
buffer adjacent to the curb on Spring Road. The existing sidewalk
on Spring Road will be removed and a new five foot wide sidewalk
will be installed on the McDonald' s property utilizing an easement
for said purpose. McDonald' s Corporation is not contesting the
amount of landscaping required adjacent to the curb on Spring Road.
Director' s Decision:
Staff has reviewed the proposed modification and conditions of
approval and has determined that granting of this modification will
be consistent with the existing landscaping buffer east of the
subject site on New Los Angeles Avenue.
The Director of Community Development has reviewed the proposed
Minor Modification request and intends to approve the Minor
Modification. The Director intends to approve the request on
Tuesday, January 19, 1993 with the appeal period ending on
Thursday, February 4 , 1993 . If no appeal is made, the Director ' s
decision will stand. Pursuant to Resolution No. 88-523 , the
Director has the authority to approve a Minor Modification. This
matter is being presented to the City Council as a courtesy. Should
the Council or any interested party wish to appeal the Director ' s
decision the next available public hearing date would be February
17, 1993 .
