MEETING DATE: January 18, 2022
FROM: Christy Consolini, Planning Consultant
SUBJECT: Zone and General Plan Land Use Designation Change, 6 Main Street., Erik Peterson and Kraig Clark (APN 018-210-001)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public input, and

2. Find that the project is Categorically Exempt under 15305 (Minor Alteration of Land Use Limitation) CEQA Guidelines; and

3. Adopt a resolution approving the Zoning and General Plan land use designation change for 6 Main St., based on the recommended Findings.

BACKGROUND:

The Project is located within the City of Sutter Creek at 6 Main Street at the intersection of Main St. and Church St. as shown on the location map, Figure 1, and parcel map, Figure 2. The Project is within the Downtown Commercial land use designation and the DTC Downtown Commercial zone. The 0.332-acre (14,493 square foot) parcel is developed with a 4,070 square foot, one story commercial building currently served by City sewer services and the Amador Water Agency. There are no flood zones on the site or steep slopes, and the parcel includes 5 standard parking spaces, one disabled parking space, and a loading area along Church Street.

Property owners Erik and Amy Peterson, through their representative Kraig Clark, prepared a request to change the zoning on the parcel (Exhibit A) to allow for a greater range of commercial uses. Located at the end of Main Street and separated from the other commercial uses along Main Street by the Methodist Church, Sutter Creek Auditorium and City offices and residences on the opposing side of Main Street, little pedestrian traffic reaches this point on Main Street. The property is in the process of being sold and the prospective new owner would like to use the property for a veterinary clinic with pet-related retail.

Figure 4: Zoning Map
DISCUSSION:

General Plan: Existing - Downtown Commercial/Proposed - Commercial. The site has already been developed with a 4,070 square foot commercial structure and no further development is proposed. The proposed General Plan land use designation change would modify the parcel’s designation from Downtown Commercial to Commercial, thereby changing the designation from one type of commercial designation to another commercial designation. There are Commercially designated parcels adjacent to this parcel along Church Street. This is the only Downtown Commercial parcel south of Church Street.

The purpose of the Downtown Commercial designation is to protect the attractiveness and historic quality of the Main Street corridor and to allow for smaller lot sizes and greater building intensity than the Commercial designation while the Commercial designation is applied generally for retail, commercial, and professional business services “to insure the economic vitality of the City.” Both designations have a minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet and a maximum population density of 16-29 households per acre; however, building coverage up to 95% is allowed in the Downtown Commercial designation while coverage of only 85% is allowed in the Commercial designation. Since the parcel is fully developed, no change in coverage is proposed and the designation change would result in less coverage allowance. The parcel remains in the Main Street Historic District; therefore, Design Standards applicable to that area would still apply to maintain the historic character and quality of the site.

Zoning: Existing – DTC Downtown Commercial/ Proposed – C-1 Commercial. DTC allows for a limited range of commercial uses primarily directed toward entertainment and tourism and featuring the Mother Lode architecture of Main Street. The proposed zone change to C-1 Commercial results in a modification from one commercial use to another type of commercial use that serves patrons from both inside and outside the City. There are currently adjacent parcels 6 Main St.
zoned C-2 along Church Street and this parcel is the only DTC zoned parcel on Main Street south of Church Street. This C-1 zoning would serve as a transition between DTC and C-2 Within the DTC zone retail uses are to be pedestrian oriented and feature antiques and boutiques, crafts, restaurants and food retail, arts and jewelry, stationary, entertainment and gathering venues, and offices. Such uses serve as community gathering areas, but also cater to visitors from outside the City. The C-1 zone allows for a broader range of uses including those that are more likely to patronized by local residents such as markets, flower shops, general retail, bookstores, beauty services, veterinarian clinics and pet shops, hardware and drugstores, medical clinics, clothing and tailor shops, and other general commercial uses. The potential buyer of the property would like to open a veterinarian clinic and pet supply retail shop, which are permissible in the C-1 zone, but not the DTC zone.

Both the DTC and C-1 zones require 10-foot front setbacks, 5-foot side setbacks, 10-foot rear setbacks, and no required distance between buildings or minimum area limit. The DTC zone allows for building heights up to a 40-foot height limit (3 stories) and 95% coverage, while C-1 zones allow heights of 35 feet (2.5 stories). And 85% coverage. The site is already developed with a commercial structure.

Parking: All retail commercial and professional offices are required to have 1 parking stall per 300 square feet of space. Although this property has 6 parking spaces and one loading space available onsite, 13 spaces should be provided based on the 4,070 square foot structure. Although additional parking is available on Main Street north of the parcel and along Church Street, as well as the downtown parking lots, and the site is pedestrian and transit accessible, seven additional parking spaces should be provided onsite to comply with the City’s parking requirements.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines: The project qualifies under the CEQA common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3)), as there is no possibility that the designation and zoning change would result in a significant effect on the environment. This project also qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under Section 15305 (Minor Alteration of Land Use Limitation) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The parcel is already developed and commercially used and no change to the physical structure or environment is proposed. The action would change the general plan land use designation and zone from one type of commercial designation and zone to another type of commercial designation and zone. The parcel remains in the Downtown Historic District and would continue to be subject to the design requirements and standards for that area. The change in the range of allowed commercial uses would not result in a substantial change to traffic patterns, noise or air emissions, and would be compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning. No new parcels would be created, no change in density or reduction in potential housing units would occur, and no new structures are proposed.

REFERRALS:

The application package was referred to City staff and affected agencies on November 30, 2021, with responses requested by December 13, 2021. One referral response was received; the comment letter is shown below:

Good afternoon Amy,
The Environmental Health. Department has reviewed the packets referred by the City of Sutter Creek for the following projects:
*Tentative Parcel Map application: 258-260 Gopher Flat, Sutter. Creek, CA APN 040-220-039 *Re-zone application: 6 Main Street, Sutter Creek, CA 95685 APN 018-210-001 The Department has no comments or questions on these two projects as defined.

Sincerely,
Michelle Opalenik, Director
Amador County Environmental Health Department
Based on the discussion and conclusions made at the January 10, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission recommends approval as presented, with the following Findings and Conditions of Approval:

FINDINGS:

1. The proposed rezone and land use designation change to C-1/Commercial is essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare as it expands the allowed commercial uses, on a parcel designated for commercial use, to serve locally oriented interests in an area with little visitor or tourist foot traffic due to the parcel being separated from the main DTC pedestrian area by City offices, a church, and residences;

2. The proposed action complies with the Sutter Creek General Plan goals and policies, and the change would allow for consistency with the Commercial designation while still maintaining the downtown aesthetic and historic quality.

3. The proposed action will not impair the integrity and character of the zoning district because the use is consistent with commercial uses and the rezone would change from one commercial district to another at the same density and where there is currently adjacent C-2 zoning.

4. The proposed action would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare.

5. The proposed land use designation and zoning change implements the Sutter Creek General Plan and the purposes of the Planning Title with minor modification to the type of commercial use allowed and while still maintaining the downtown historic district standards.

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:

1. No permit or license shall be issued for any use or activity involved in a planning application until the zone and land use designation change has been finalized.

2. Use of the parcel shall be subject to compliance with the requirements of C-1 zoning district in the Zoning Code of the City of Sutter Creek Municipal Code, including the allowed uses in the C1 zone and any conditional uses.

3. Seven additional on-site parking spaces shall be provided prior to operation.

4. Any future development or alteration to the existing commercial unit will be subject to the appropriate City permit and review processes,

5. Any future structural development on the parcel is subject the Sutter Creek Design Standards and the Design Review process due to the location of the parcels within the City’s Downtown Historic District and shall comply with the CBC and Title 24 regulations, as well as demonstrate defensible space.

6. Any improvements shall be made to City standards and the appropriate permits obtained.

7. The landowner shall continue to meet the requirements of the City Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Sign Ordinance, Noise Ordinance, Tree and Landscape Ordinance, and Park Dedication and In Lieu Fee Ordinance unless otherwise specifically superseded by these Conditions of Approval.

8. The ordinance requirements of the Amador Water Agency shall continue to be met.

9. The ordinance requirements of the Sutter Creek Fire District shall continue to be met.

10. Applicant shall pay the $50.00 Notice of Exemption filing fee to the Amador County Recorder.

11. The zone and land use designation change does not constitute approval of any site improvements or granting of use permits.

12. The ordinance requirements of the Amador Fire Protection District shall be met by participation in the annexation to the County’s Community Facilities District No. 2006-1 for fire protection services.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact directly.

EXHIBIT A
6 MAIN STREET GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONE CHANGE

REFERRAL PACKAGE AND APPLICATION

[Applicant submittal November 24, 2021 from Kraig Clark]

JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT / PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Name: 6 Main Street – Zoning Change back to C
State what the project is and why the application should be approved based on the required findings (if any). Attach additional pages and exhibits if necessary.

We are requesting a Zoning Change to C1 from Downtown Commercial.

In 2011, Clark’s Corner Investments, LLC and Erik & Amy Peterson purchased 6 Main Street so Erik can operate his E Peterson Designs sign shop in the back (non-customer facing) plus a retail store that would add to the Sutter Creek tourist shopping experience. While his sign shop thrived with existing and new customers, the retail did not fare too well for a variety of reasons including being at the far end of town away from all of the other tourist boutique shops and eateries. Tourists, in general, do not venture past the bridge on the South end of town.

In 2015, the City of Sutter Creek established a new commercial zone intended to protect and enhance the district’s attractive and historic quality as a living example of Mother Lode architecture. As stated in section 18.38.020, the permitted uses shall be as follows

1. Retail commercial uses which are pedestrian-orientated and conducive to the historic vitality of the downtown area, including the following:
a. Gifts, precious metals, and jewelry
b. Greeting cards and stationary
c. Many others

2. Professional governmental and similar offices

3. First and second-story residential units including studio apartments

4. Conversion of residential dwellings to commercial uses upon securing a site plan permit pursuant to Chapter 18.50; and

5. The above uses in conjunction with historic displays and exhibits.

Changing the zoning from Downtown Commercial (DTC) to C1 will give the property additional flexibility considering the disadvantaged location as compared to a super-majority of the other Downtown Commercial (DTC) businesses and buildings. In addition, the additional flexibility will give the building a greater opportunity for long-term success.
