COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Introduce Ordinance Prezoning South Hutchins Annexation Project MEETING DATE: May 18,2 011 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance Prezoning South Hutchins Annexation Project BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 9, 2011, the Planning Commission held a public meeting to consider the certification of the South Hutchins Annexation Mitigated Negative Declaration, and the multiple entitlements related to the project. At that meeting, the Commission heard a presentation based on the staff report for these items; asked questions of staff, the applicant, and the general public; heard public testimony in support and in opposition to these items; closed the public hearing, and based on the record as whole voted (5-1) to recommend to the City Council to: 1. Certify the Mitigated Negative Declaration, adopt the proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and 2. Adopt a resolution of application to the San Joaquin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex approximately 30 acres of property located on the southwest corner of West Lane and Harney Lane to the City of Lodi, and simultaneously detach the property from the Woodbridge Fire Protection District; and 3. Approve a prezoning designation of Planned Development 43 (PD -43) for the project. The Commission also reviewed and approved an application for a Vesting Tentative Map and development plans for the annexation project. The City Council held a noticed public hearing approving the Planning Commission's actions on April 20, 2011. Following that public hearing, Council now needs to introduce and adopt the Ordinance prezoning the property to complete the project. Proiect Summary The Project site is located adjacent to the City's southern boundary and consists of one parcel covering a total of approximately 30 acres (Assessors Parcel Number 058-100-03). The 30 -acre Project site is bound by Harney Lane to the north, West Lane to the east, and agricultural fields to the south and west. The Project's southern boundary lies approximately 1,025 feet to the south of Harney Lane while the Project's western boundary lies about 1,230 feet to the west of the West Lane. While the project site is located outside the City of Lodi's jurisdictional boundary, it is within the City's Sphere of Influence. The City's current General Plan designates the project site as Commercial and it is within Phase I of annexation priority map. The proposed project would permit the development of a mix of retail and office uses including the entire infrastructure needed to support future development of the site. Implementation of the APPROVED: Konradt Bartlam, City Manager South Hutchins Annexation Project Page 2 of 3 proposed Project would result in the development of up to 103,350 square feet of commercial/retail use, including a 5,000 -square -foot bank, 6,400 -square -feet of restaurant space, and 179,200 - square -feet of office space, including a 68,000 -square -foot medical office building with a laboratory (3,000 square feet). The proposed Project would also provide a total of 1,501 parking spaces, 147 more parking spaces than is required by the parking regulations set forth in the Lodi Municipal Code. Prezoninq/Zoning Pursuant to State regulations, annexing cities are required to prezone land prior to annexation. Upon annexation, the annexing city's zoning designation would supersede the county's zoning designation and subsequent development of the annexed area would be subject to the development standards and regulation of the annexing city. Further, in accordance with State law, zoning designations must be consistent with annexing City's General Plan designations. The South Hutchins Annexation project includes a request for a prezoning designation to change the zone from the County zone of AG -40 to a City zoning designation. In accordance with City standards and requirements, staff proposes a Planned Development -43 (PD) Zoning designation for the South Hutchins Annexation Project. The proposed PD Zone would be consistent with the existing General Plan designation of Planned Residential Reserve (PRR) and the proposed General Plan designation of Planned Residential, Office and Neighborhood Community Commercial. The following provides a brief description of the PD Zone and the components of the Development Plan: A. Intent and Requirements for a PD Zone A PD zone is intended to allow deviations from standard zoning requirements in an effort to create a development pattern specifically designed for a project site that allows a more desirable and efficient use of land. In accordance with Municipal Code Section 17.33, a PD zone is intended to accommodate various types of development, including residential developments, public, quasi -public, commercial, retail, office, schools, and open space. B. Discussion of Proposed PD Zone As discussed above, a PD zone allows flexibility from the standard zoning regulations. The Project will include a variety of land uses, including commercial/retail, and office. Each increment of development will be subject to the review and approval of a Development Plan (see discussion below) that sets forth the proposed development standards for each increment of development. It is expected that these precise plans will incorporate development standards and design features common to previously approved projects of a similar nature in nearby or adjoining areas. C. Discussion of Proposed Development Plan Prior to the approval of any PD zone, a Program/Project Level Development Plan must be reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. Once approved, the project site must be developed in accordance with the general policies of said development plan. Thus far, the applicant has submitted development plans depicting proposed layout and development phases. Fully built -out plans illustrate the following land uses: a retail center, a restaurant, medical/professional office uses and associated parking and other infrastructures. Implementation of the proposed Project would result in the development of up to 103,350 square feet of commercial/retail use, including a 5,000 square foot bank, 6,400 square feet of restaurant space, and 179,200 square feet of office space, including a 68,000 square foot medical office building with a laboratory (3,000 square feet). South Hutchins Annexation Project Page 3 of 3 Phase I Development subdivides the single 30 -acre parcel into nine various sized lots for the development of the proposed project and development of one of the parcels for medical use. The applicant has submitted a Vesting Map application. Public infrastructure improvements covered by this Vesting Tentative Parcel Map application include installation of street frontages along the southern and western boundaries, dedication for widening of Harney Lane; installation of bicycle and pedestrian path of travel and utilities necessary to provide service to the site. The project includes onsite retention basin, onsite parking and landscaping including the area around the site perimeter designated for drainage. As conditioned, the Vesting Tentative Map application can be found consistent with the City's General Plan and other applicable City plans and policies. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the entitlements now before the Planning Commission as a recommendation to the City Council. Phase I also involves construction of a three-story 65,000-sqare-foot medical office building with an associated lab of 3,000-sqare-foot on a 5.88 -acre parcel. It includes 453 parking spaces onsite, which exceeds city requirements by 113 spaces, landscaping, street access from Harney Lane and a new road located on the southern boundary of the project site. The site plan and building design are conditioned to meet minimum mandatory requirements for nonresidential California Green Building Standards Code for planning and design, energy efficiency, water efficiency and conservation, material conservation, and resource efficiency. The City's Green Building Standards also require onsite bicycle parking, and permanent parking designations for low -emitting fuel efficient vehicles and carpool/van pool vehicles. The Planning Commission reviewed and conditionally approved the development plan on its meeting of March 9,2011.
