C. North Cordelia Design Standards. All development within the NC Overlay District shall comply with the North Cordelia Design Standards contained in Resolution 89-384, adopted by the city council on November 21, 1989, as may be amended. The approval authority shall find that the proposed development is in compliance with the design standards prior to granting any development approval within the NC Overlay District.
For CO zoned parcels south of Business Center Drive, any new building containing an expanded use as listed in Section F below shall incorporate materials and design equal to or better than those approved for buildings in the Green Valley Technical Plaza and Green Valley Office Park. New and existing buildings may include roll-up doors and up to four loading bays or docks that facilitate direct loading from the building into trucks. No more than one roll-up door may be permitted on a street- facing elevation. Truck bays or docks may not be located on a street-facing elevation. Trim, materials, and paint for all roll-up doors shall be coordinated to blend with the building design to minimize the doors’ visual impact.
D. Traffic standards. Within the NC Overlay District, the City shall not approve any disposition and development agreement or other discretionary permit for commercial development that is greater than 10,000 square feet or that generates more than 150 daily trips if calculated Levels of Service (LOS) at the time of approval at any major intersection, as defined in Section 6.1 of the GVSA, is either operating at a level of service lower than LOS D, as a result of the proposed approval in combination with existing traffic levels and projected traffic from the projects described in Section 1.29 of the GVSA and all other approved residential and commercial agreements in North Cordelia.
E. Public art. Development within the boundary of the NC Overlay District shall include public art in the project or pay an in-lieu fee. As required by the Price Club Settlement Agreement (City Council Resolution 91-277), a public art fee equal to 0.0025 percent of the building permit valuation for a project shall be paid concurrently with issuance of a building permit. In lieu of payment of this fee, the developer may purchase public art or construct public art for inclusion in the project. Public art shall include, but shall not be limited to water features, sculptures, and tapestries. Design features incorporated into proposed building architecture, such as cornices, pilasters, or special paving materials, are not considered public art. The City shall approve all public art projects.
F. Expanded Land Uses. Within the NC Overlay District, parcels located south of Business Center Drive with an Office Commercial (CO) zoning designation may operate the following additional land uses by right or conditionally, as specified in Table 25-NC.

SECTION 3. The council hereby makes the following finding pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); based on the information contained in the staff report and presented by staff, the council has determined that this ordinance amendment is exempt from CEQA review per Government Code Section 15305. Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations. The text amendments would allow for an expanded list of permitted land uses. The additional uses proposed have lower Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation assessments. Additionally, incorporating a wider variety of employment opportunities and industrial business services will lead to lower vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for employees and consumers in the area. Lower traffic impacts result in lower air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy impacts. The new land uses introduced by the proposed Overlay would result in lesser environmental impacts than any of the existing permitted uses under the current zoning designation.
SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall be effective 30 days following its adoption by the council. A summary of this Ordinance shall, within fifteen (15) days after passage, be published in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California with the names of the City Councilmembers voting for and against it.
