Garcia with Pedro and Associates, representing Diocese of Orange, is proposing to construct a new two-story 6,372-square foot rectory and office building on a vacant property located at 542 East Central Avenue. The subject property has a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (LR-7) and has a zoning designation of Single-Family Residential (R-1). The site is located on the southwest corner of Central Avenue and Halladay Street and is surrounded by residential uses to the south, west and east and Our Lady of Guadalupe Delhi church to the north. The project requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission to allow a rectory and office building within the R-1 zoning district. I. Prior to Development Project approval, address the following items identified below: A) Planning Division: Site Plan Comments Staff recommends that the overall square footage of the proposed structure be reduced in order to comply with the development standards, parking standards and trash truck pick-up requirements addressed below. 1) Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1414, rectories require one garage space per bedroom, plus spaces for guest parking equal to twenty-five percent of the total non- guest parking. Revise plans to comply with this requirement. The office component shall be parked at three spaces for each one-thousand square feet of gross floor office area. 2) Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-235 and 41-220, the project requires a five-foot side and rear setback and a 10 foot setback along Halladay Street. In addition, per SAMC Section 41-239, all yard shall be completely landscaped with the exceptions of approved driveways and walkways. Remove parking stalls and trash enclosure encroaching into this area and redesign parking area to comply with these requirements. Remove proposed parking stall No. 11 and relocate bike racks to the front of the building. 3) The project’s landscape must comply with SAMC Section 41-240 and the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO). In addition, the front and street side yard setbacks shall comply with the City’s “California Friendly Landscape Guidelines.” Revise landscape plans to comply with these requirements. The Stamped concrete proposed at the front yard is exceeding the 65/35 ratio of landscaping to permeable hardscape (See Attachments A & B). Comment was partially addressed.
