Adopt a resolution approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2004-06 <br />(County Map No. 16565) as conditioned. <br /> <br />6. Adopt a resolution approving Site Plan Review No. 2004-05. <br /> <br />At its December 13, 2004 meeting the Planning Commission adopted a <br />resolution approving the actions above as conditioned by a vote of 6: 1 <br />(Sinclair opposed) to allow a mixed use development within the Specific <br />Development No. 59 (SD-59) zoning district at 2775 North Main Street. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />To facilitate the City Place development proposal, a series of actions <br />are necessary. Those actions include Environmental Impact Report, Zoning <br />Ordinance Amendment, Development Agreement, Conditional Use Permit, <br />Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Site Plan Review. <br /> <br />Environmental Impact Report <br /> <br />The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the preparation <br />and approval of an environmental impact report (EIR) for this proj ect . <br />The environmental issues analyzed in the EIR include aesthetics, air <br />quality, cultural resources, land use, hazardous materials, <br />hydrology/water quality, noise, traffic and circulation, public services <br />and utility services. <br /> <br />The environmental impact report has identified a significant and <br />unavoidable impact to air quality and traffic. No feasible mitigation <br />measures are available to reduce the effect. Accordingly, a Statement of <br />Overriding Considerations will be needed in order to approve the project. <br />All other potential impacts associated with the project were determined to <br />be less than significant or were provided with mitigation to reduce <br />impacts to a level considered less than significant. <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendment <br /> <br />In 1993, a specific development zone (SD-59) was approved on the site to <br />accommodate an extremely intense mixed-use project. The entitlement <br />included a 22 and 32-story office tower, 19-story residential tower (216 <br />units), hotel, parking structure, restaurants, health club, retail space, <br />cinemas and live theater, and attached residences (64 units). The total <br />project gross square footage was 1,964,770 with parking to accommodate <br />5,464 spaces. <br /> <br />758-2 <br />
