BACKGROUND:
On September 11, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing on Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 98-55-A and Design Review 23-003. The SPA included an amendment to the Uptown Village Specific Plan by creating Planning Unit 4 and establishing the applicable standards for development within Planning Unit 4. Design Review 23-003 would allow for the development of a 115,000 square foot self-storage facility, a 4,725 square foot retail building and related parking lot and site improvements.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council took the following actions:
•Adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Project; •Introduced an Ordinance to adopt SPA 98-55-A; and
•Approved Design Review 23-003, subject to revised conditions of approval.
DISCUSSION:
Attached for adoption is the Ordinance introduced by the City Council on September 11, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the City’s adopted fee resolution, application filing fees are deposit based, intended to cover costs associated with staff time and direct consultant costs. The initial deposit was made as well as a subsequent deposit. Conditions of approval will also require the payment of any outstanding fees prior to issuance of any building permit. Therefore, no impact to the general fund will be incurred.
