C-1 ZEFNP for Goodwill Store
KinoArea Plan
01/05/10 msp ipc review

This request is for a special exception use in the C-1 zone, to allow a Goodwill store on a commercial retail center with 7.5 acres located southwest from the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Irvington Road. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, both Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue are arterial streets. The existing tenant space has 20,000 square feet of floor area with customer access along the retail store north façade and commercial truck loading zones at the rear façade along the south property line of the commercial complex. The applicant is proposing to locate the "new donation" drop-off area at the front of the store and the new loading dock at the rear of the store. The previous use was a grocery-produce store. Access is from Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue. On-site traffic maneuverability is some what restricted due to multiple parcels within the commercial complex under various owners. Most restrictive is access to the proposed loading dock with an independent parcel between the loading dock area and the required direct access to Campbell Avenue.
The zoning site is located within the boundaries of the Kino Area Plan (KAP). The General Plan also provide policy and guidance for the proposed land use.

Applicable Plan Policy:
The site is within the boundaries of the Kino Area Plan (KAP), and the overall goal of the KAP is to provide a balance of uses and a wide range of activities, including employment, shopping, housing, and recreation. The KAP, under Residential Policy 2.d, supports adequate commercial facilities to support residential development in the area. The General Plan, Element 2, Land Use under Commercial and Office Development offers Policy 5.5, which encourages redevelopment and/or expansion of current strip commercial developments that will improve and stabilize the center and enhance the transition edge if adjacent to existing residential uses. In addition, General Plan Element 6 Conservation, Rehabilitation and Redevelopment offers in Policy 3 to promote the continued physical and economic viability of the city's neighborhoods and commercial districts.

Proposal Summary:
The applicant proposes to convert an anchor building within a commercial strip center with 20,000 square feet into a Goodwill Store. The site appears to have adequate parking for this use and is centrally located within the commercial corridor of Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue. Traffic circulation to the rear of the store may be an issue from Campbell Avenue but may be resolved by obtaining a cross-access easement with a private parcel located at the southeast corner of the shopping center layout. This would help the exiting of semi-tractors and large delivery trucks onto Campbell Avenue. Hours of operation should be limited to day-light hours to reduce noise impacts to the residential neighborhood located to the west.

Staff recommends that on-site traffic circulation and a cross-access easement be considered for proper access onto the rear of the store area. If Goodwill employees need to load and unload outside the rear of the building, staff recommends shade structures be considered for same area.

Discussion
The applicant attended a presubmittal meeting with staff on October 21, 2009 and held a neighborhood meeting on December 2, 2009. In attendance was Mrs. Jacobs a resident of the adjacent neighborhood, and Connie Current and Rob East representing Goodwill. The minutes of the meeting indicated discussion included the new donation drop off at the front of the store, the new truck well at the back of the store and the proposed store layout. Mrs. Jacob agreed with the proposed redevelopment of the building.

Recommendation
The Special Exception request to redevelop a prior anchor store building within a commercial strip center into a Goodwill store is consistent with the Plans. A plan amendment is not required. It is recommended that this request be accepted for processing.

At the time of submittal staff will focus on the following:

1. On-site traffic circulation mobility to ensure safe maneuverability of commercial trucks, with emphasis on commercial vehicles approaching or exiting rear of building from Campbell Avenue;
2. Address hours of operation, including outdoor uses and lighting to minimize commercial impacts onto the residential neighborhood located to the west;
3. Address outdoor employee work areas, including safety and heat/shade issues;
4. Exterior color of buildings shall be a compatible color with the commercial center;
5. No outdoor load speakers;
6. No overnight commercial vehicle parking/ac; and,
7. New donation drop-off zone to be delineated and separate from required parking space area.
