Paul Porter, Senior Planner
DATE: June 10, 1994 (CC meeting of July 6, 1994)
SUBJECT: APPEAL NO. 94-2 OF MINOR MODIFICATION NO. 8 TO CPD 89-2
(Mission Bell Plaza) ON THE APPLICATION OF SHELL OIL
COMPANY
Background:
On February 10, 1994, Shell Oil Company submitted Minor
Modification No. 8 for CPD 89-2 for approval of a thirty-five (35)
foot wide driveway to be located on Los Angeles Avenue easterly of
the existing Carl's Junior Restaurant.
Staff Comments
The Council specifically approved this project without a curb-cut
on Los Angeles Avenue on the basis that a curb-cut on Los Angeles
Avenue in front of the Shell Service Station would potentially
increase traffic hazards on Los Angeles Avenue. The applicant was
informed that in order for staff to consider approval of this
modification the applicant would be required to design and
construct a raised median with landscaping along Los Angeles Avenue
from Park Lane to Liberty Bell Road to prevent vehicles from making
left-hand turns to or from the site.
The Director of Community Development reviewed the proposed Minor
Modification and denied it on April 1994, because the applicant
informed staff that they had received a letter from A&S Engineering
dated March 30, 1994 indicating that Caltrans would not approve a
median. The applicant filed Appeal No. 94-2 on May 3, 1994 (within
the statutory time limit) indicating that the proposed driveway had
been reviewed and considered acceptable to the City Engineer and
Caltrans with minor modifications. Staff is of the opinion that
without the median, motorists will attempt to make a left turn from
the proposed driveway even if the applicant posts a no-left turn
sign. Making a left turn across Los Angeles Avenue into or from
the site would create a safety hazard.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council deny Appeal No. 94-2 of
Minor Modification No. 8.
