BACKGROUND
Dr. Chante Tran of Tran’s Veterinary Clinic, LLC. is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a veterinary clinic in a 1,611 square-foot tenant space within an existing commercial building located at 1973 Foothill Parkway. The building is located within a 9.76-acre commercial development known as “Foothill Center”, which was originally approved under Precise City of Corona Page 1 of 5 Printed on 8/2/2023

File #: 23-0621
commercial development known as “Foothill Center”, which was originally approved under Precise Plan 10-001 and constructed in 2019.

The property is zoned C (Commercial) per the El Cerrito Specific Plan (SP91-2), which requires a CUP for animal hospitals.

The applicant formally submitted a conditional use permit application (CUP2023-0016) on May 16, 2023 to the City, which was reviewed by staff at the Project and Environment Review Committee (PRC) meeting on June, 8, 2023. At that time the City deemed the application incomplete because application materials were missing. The applicant submitted the required items, and the application was deemed complete on July 10, 2023. The project was subsequently scheduled for the August 7, 2023 Planning and Housing Commission meeting.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Plan
The commercial center is developed with several drive-thru restaurants, a service station, a hotel, and a commercial building with in-line tenants. The building containing the proposed veterinary clinic is situated at the east perimeter of the property adjacent to the freeway, as shown on Exhibit

3. Vehicular access to the center is provided from Foothill Parkway and Via Gunnoe Court.

Floor Plan
Attached as Exhibit 5 is the applicant’s floor plan. The tenant space for the veterinary clinic is shown as 1,611 square feet in size and includes a lobby, two exam rooms, treatment area, surgery room, and an insulation room with two kennel cages, located at the rear of the suite. The suite provides access to a backdoor for egress purposes.

Operations
The veterinary clinic will provide routine care for cats and dogs, as well as preventative care services such as vaccinations, surgeries, diagnostics, and other small animal care needs. The clinic also intends to provide emergency services during normal business hours. All operations will be contained inside the building. The veterinary clinic proposes to operate from 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday, and from 9 AM to 1 PM on Saturdays.

The applicant has stated that there will rarely be a need for the clinic to provide overnight hospitalization stay. If there was a need to keep a patient overnight, it would be for no more than 48 hours, and as such, no long-term boarding services will be provided at this location. In case critical care is needed for a patient, the veterinary clinic may transfer these critical cases to a 24-hour animal emergency center.

Parking
The property contains surface parking throughout the entire commercial center. The parking requirements for the Foothill Center was previously analyzed under PP10-001 for compliance with the City’s Parking Ordinance, Chapter 17.76 of the CMC.

The City’s parking requirement for animal hospitals is one space per 200 square feet of floor area City of Corona Page 2 of 5 Printed on 8/2/2023
powered by Legistar™
File #: 23-0621
The City’s parking requirement for animal hospitals is one space per 200 square feet of floor area (1:200). The veterinary clinic requires eight (8) parking spaces. Exhibit 6 provides the most up-to date parking information for the center. Including the veterinary clinic, the center as a whole requires a minimum of 405 parking spaces; which equals the total amount of on-site parking provided. All parking spaces are shared among tenants within the center.

Access and Circulation
The Foothill Center has an entrance on Foothill Parkway and four entrances on Via Gunnoe Court.

The proposed veterinary clinic is accessible from any of the entrances. The on-site circulation was previously analyzed and approved under PP10-001. This application does not propose any changes or result in any impacts to the shopping center’s on-site circulation.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Per Section 15301 of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because the project qualifies as a Class 1 (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption. The project consists of establishing a veterinary clinic within an existing commercial building. All operations associated with the veterinary clinic will be contained entirely inside the building. There is no proposed expansion to the building; therefore, there is no possibility that the proposal will have any significant adverse effect on the environment.

The Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit 8.

FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant has paid the applicable application processing fees for the conditional use permit.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was mailed to all property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site, as well as advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News and posted at the project site. As of the preparation of this report, the Planning and Development Department has not received any response from the public regarding the proposed project.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed veterinary clinic specializes in the care and wellness of animals that support the quality of life for residents and their pets. Animal hospitals are a permitted use with approval of a CUP in the Commercial designation of the El Cerrito Specific Plan, and is consistent with the General Plan’s General Commercial designation.

All activities associated with the project will be contained inside the building. The property is fully improved, and the building can accommodate the proposed use. There is adequate vehicular access and on-site circulation on the property. As demonstrated in the parking analysis, the 405 parking spaces are adequate to accommodate the parking requirement for the entire commercial center, which includes the proposed use.

The use is not anticipated to be impactful to the neighboring developments, because the building that is to be occupied by the veterinary clinic is located adjacent to a freeway. The nearest sensitive land uses are residential uses which are located to the north and west of the commercial center.

City of Corona Page 3 of 5 Printed on 8/2/2023

File #: 23-0621
These residences are located a significant distance from the suite.

CUP2023-0016 is consistent with General Plan Policies LU-1.1 and LU-1.2, which promote a mixture of land uses throughout the City and minimize the need for travel to surrounding communities for goods and services.

LU-1.1: Accommodates uses that support the diverse needs of Corona’s residents, including opportunities for living, commerce, employment, recreation, education, culture, entertainment, civic engagement, and social and spiritual activity that are in balance with open spaces.

LU-1.2: Emphasizes the development of uses that sustain Corona as a cohesive, distinct, and self-sustaining community and minimize the need for residents to travel to surrounding communicates for retail goods, services, and employment.

Therefore, the Planning and Development Department recommends approval of CUP2023-0016, based on the findings below and the recommended conditions of approval attached as Exhibit 4.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR CUP2023-0016

1. Per Section 15301 of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because the project qualifies as a Class 1 (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption. The project consists of establishing a veterinary clinic within an existing commercial building. All operations associated with the veterinary clinic will be contained entirely inside the building. There is no proposed expansion to the building; therefore, there is no possibility that the proposal will have any significant adverse effect on the environment.

2. All the conditions necessary for granting a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in Section

17.92.110 of the Corona Municipal Code do exist in reference to CUP2023-0016 for the following reasons:
a. The project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience or general welfare, and will be in harmony with various elements and objectives of the City’s General Plan because the project will establish a veterinary clinic within an already developed property that was designed to meet or exceed the applicable development standards of the underlying zone. No additional on-site or off-site improvements are required with this proposal. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding commercial uses, and the property has adequate parking to meet the anticipated parking requirements of the proposed use.
b. The proposed use would not be detrimental to other existing and permitted uses in the general area because the project site is located within an existing and fully improved commercial center which is capable of accommodating the proposed veterinary clinic. The project also has adequate vehicular access from the adjacent streets which are fully improved and capable of handling the traffic associated with the use.

To Whom it may concern;
This letter is to express the intent of my application for a major conditional use permit for operation of a small animal Veterinary clinic at the address of 1973 Foothill pkwy suite 103 Corona, Ca in the foothill parkway plaza.

The property is 1611 sf and is currently vacant. The surrounding areas are comprised of residential neighborhoods with many single-family homes which would greatly benefit from a small animal clinic.

Other tenants in the foothill plaza include Dentistry, urgent care, nail salon, pharmacy, hotel and restaurants. Our modern Veterinary clinic will provide preventative care services such as vaccinations, surgery, diagnostics, among other small animal care needs. We will routinely care for cats and dogs and provide emergency services during normal business hours of operation. Very rarely there may be a clinical case which would warrant an overnight hospitalization stay. We strive in the private practice field to transfer critical cases to a 24hr emergency care center which for our clinic will be the Corona Animal Emergency Center. If there would be a rare hospitalization stay this would be for at most 48hrs.

We will not provide any long-term boarding services at this location. Clinic staff will walk the patients in the brush areas adjacent to the building and will promptly pick up any pet waste. The pet waste will be placed in a disposal bag and the area will be promptly sanitized with cleaning products. Pet waste will be contained in the clinic in a proper storage area and will be picked up by the appropriate waste management company for landfill disposal. We will aim to provide the best affordable care services to our clients.

The applicant Dr. Tran’s Veterinary Clinic LLC is represented by owner Dr. Chante Tran.

Dr. Tran is licensed by the state of California Veterinary medical board, and has been practicing for over 12 years. We have designed the space to be serviced by one Veterinarian. We will employ two Registered Veterinary Technicians, two Veterinary assistants, two receptionist, and two kennel staff. We will support a CE program to employed assistants and technicians to increase the quality of our medicine. Business hours of operation will be 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday and Saturday from 9am to 1pm, closed on Sundays.

We respectfully request approval of the major conditional use permit. Not only will we provide excellent care to our patients, we will be a hallmark and contributing factor to the community of Corona.

Below you will find images of the site design, architecture/materials, parking, landscaping and fencing.

Sincerely,
Chante Tran DVM
Dr. Tran’s Veterinary Clinic LLC
