FROM: Jaime Aguilera, Director of Community Development'
Paul Porter, Senior Planner j
DATE: April 11, 1994 (CC meeting of April 20, 1994)
SUBJECT: MINOR MODIFICATION NO. 8 TO CPD 89 -2 (Mission Bell -plaza)
ON THE APPLICATION OF SHELL OIL COMPANY
Background:
The City Council certified the original EIR and approved this
project (known as CPD 89 -1, 89 -2 and LDM 89 -2) on October 17, 1990.
On March 29, 1991, the applicant submitted an application for a
Major Modification request for CPD 89 -1 and -2 to construct and
operate a 265,940 sq. ft. food /retail /commercial shopping center
(including 221,440 sq. ft. of general retail uses, 24,000 sq. ft.
of restaurants, a 2,300 sq. ft. gasoline service station, 9,000 sq.
ft. of medical /dental office and 9,200 sq. ft. outdoor plant
nursery) and Tentative Tract Map No. 4757 for a division of two
existing parcels into thirteen parcels of land totalling 23.62 net
acres. The Tract Map was in addition to the existing approved land
division map (LDM 89 -2, four parcels). The City Council approved
the Tentative Tract Map and Major Modification on October 2, 1991.
Since then, the Department of Community Development has approved
seven Minor Modifications for CPD 89 -1 and -2.
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 onto Los Avenue to or from the site.
The Director of Community Development has reviewed the proposed
Minor Modification and has denied it, 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.
PP04:I1:94 12:52pmA :\MINMODB.CC2 1
Pursuant to Resolution No. 88 -523, the Director has the authority
to deny Minor Modifications. This matter is being presented to the
City Council as a courtesy. In the event the City Council wishes
to appeal the Director's decision, it may do so.
Should the City Council desire to appeal, it should set a public
hearing date. The next available meeting date would be the regular
meeting of May 4, 1994. If the City Council takes no action, the
Director's decision stands.
Recommendation
Receive and file the report.
