APPLICANT: Joey Ly of TAIT and Associates
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 6008-6390 Van Buren Boulevard, situated on the southwest corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Arlington Avenue (Assessor Parcel Numbers: 151-151- 006,151-151-008, and 151-151-009)
ZONE: CR - Commercial Retail Zone
WARD: 6
SITE BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL
The Project site consists of three contiguous parcels totaling 11.9 acres and is located on the southwest corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Arlington Avenue. The subject property is currently developed with a multi-tenant commercial shopping center (Arlington Plaza) with 130,048 square feet of commercial and restaurant space, and 625 parking spaces. The commercial shopping center includes a grocery store, retail stores, restaurants, and office use.
Surrounding land uses include a commercial shopping center to the east (former K-Mart Center), auto repair facilities to the north, industrial uses to the west, and a gas station and commercial shopping center to the south.
The applicant is requesting approval of a revision to the Parcel Map (PM 37915), previously approved by the Development Review Committee on May 20, 2020 (P20-0219). The proposed project includes the subdivision of the existing 3 parcels into 7 parcels, ranging in size from 0.46 acres to 7.62 acres, for financial purposes.
No construction or alteration to on-site circulation or vehicular access is proposed. Access to the site will continue to be provided from Arlington Avenue, Van Buren Boulevard, and Harold Street.
ANALYSIS
The proposed parcel map meets all the development standards of the CR - Commercial Retail Zone and is consistent with the provisions of Zone D of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (RCALUCP). The Project will facilitate the existing and future commercial uses of the Arlington Plaza, which is consistent with the intent of the underlying land use designation to provide for retail, sales, service, and office uses that serve multiple neighborhoods within the City.
