Please contact the Community Development Department for the approximate time this item will be heard. Project Title: 435 G Street In-Fill Development Project Location: 435 G Street (APN 71-215-05) Property Owner/Applicant: Chuck Roe and Mark Rutheiser 133 D Street, Suite F Davis, CA 95616 File Number: Planning Application #40-04 General Plan Amendment #03-04 Specific Plan Amendment #04-04 Conditional Use Permit ##7-04 Design Review #18-04 Affordable Housing #02-04 Negative Declaration #07-04 Project Description: The applicant is proposing a mixed-use building at 435 G Street that will house approximately 6,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor and eight townhouse units on the second and third floors. The size of the parcel, which previously held a gas station, is .276 acres (12,029 square feet). The approximate size of the proposed new building is 18,659 square feet. The applicants are proposing eight on-site parking spaces and four off-site to meet the requirement of 12 total spaces for the residential units. On site parking is not required for ground floor retail in the Core area (Ord. 2148, Res. 04-51). The building is proposed to be three stories with a maximum height of 41'-6". The immediate neighbors to the site are: a two-story office building; Taco Bell; a gas station; a lumber yard; and a four story mixed-use parking structure housing office, retail, restaurants, and a theater. The applicants have designed a building for this highly visible corner that the applicants believe provides visual interest and will be a gateway element to the Core area. Proposed building materials are stucco, steel, granite, slate and metal. The project has been evaluated for consistency with the Core Area Specific Plan (CASP), the Central Commercial zoning district and the Davis Downtown and Traditional Residential Neighborhoods Design Guidelines. The CASP land use for this site is currently Service Commercial. The project will require a Specific Plan amendment to change the land use to Core Retail with Offices. The project complies with the Central Commercial zoning district standards. The project will also require a Conditional Use Permit for the third story, and design review approval. The city requires that the City Council take final action to adopt a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, Design Review, and a Negative Declaration for the construction of a project that requires a General and Specific Plan Amendments as well as a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission passed an affirmative recommendation to City Council on January 26, 2005 to be taken in regard to the above referenced project. Environmental Determination: The city has completed an Initial Study and prepared Negative Declaration #07-04 pursuant to section 15070 (b) of the CEQA Guidelines, finding that there is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project may have any significant or potentially significant effects upon the environment. A Notice of Availability has been filed with the Yolo County Clerk. A copy of the Initial Study and Negative Declaration #07-04 are available for public review at the City of Davis Community Development Department, 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis CA 95616. The final action to adopt Negative Declaration #07-04 will be considered by City Council following their approval of the proposed project. Availability of Documents: The project application file is available for review at the Community Development Department, located at 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California, 95616, (530) 757-5610.
