City of swu Ana -The Bowery May 11, 2020 Page 13 of 2a If there is an inconsistency with the applicable land use plans that will not be amended, as of now, them is no way for anyone to make that detemaination. (See, generally, The Highway 68 Coakilon v. County ofMonieny (2017) 14 Cal. App. 5th 883, 896 [consistency of development permit and development plan with general plan]; Clover Valley Foxnd v. City of Rockkn (2011) 197 Cal. App. 4th 200, 239 [consistency of development project with general plan]; No Oil, Inc. P. City of LosAivgeles (1987) 196 Cal. App. 3d 223 lconsisicncy of Toning ordinance with general plan[; Makb4p.. County of Orange (1985) 165 Cal. App. 3d 1185 [consistency of specificplan with general plan].) The DEIR's project description states that it is requesting to change the site's land use designations, but fails to specifically identify whatprovisions those new designations may include and what will change from the existing land use regime. Importantly, the request for a zoning amendment to SD is vague and lacks detail sufficient to allow for any real comparison to the site's underlying and applicable land use designations. The SD for the site should outline all standards for buildings, height, setbacks, lot coverage, minimum unit sizes, landscaping, parking, signs, fences, or other features. This information cannot be found in the 1)FIR which merely requests the change to a Sly from M-1 zoning without any commitment to details. For example: • states the setbacks from Warner Avenue will be 12. feet and 204,eet from Red Hill Avenue, with "courtyard and landscape areas [providing] additional setbacks..." • "I lie proposed setbacks along N_ Main Street and P,dgewood Rood wouldbe greater than the minimum setbacks required in the M-1 zone." (DEIR at 5.9-40.) Whatare the remaining setback requirements? What are the landscaping requirements% How will parking rcgwrcments be determined or will it be consistent with other DC mixed -use developments? None of these important and required specifications are provided in the DEIR For all these reasons, the Project's description is inadequate and should be revised with additional detail_ 12 F.
