Special Exception Presubmittal Meeting: The applicant attended a special exception presubmittal conference meeting with city staff on May 22, 2013. At the meeting, staff discussed a variety of issues that would need to be addressed: security management plan; design compatibility statement; screening and buffering along residential edge, hours of operation and no outdoor storage, lighting, new dumpsters, vehicular circulation and parking, and location of noise generating uses. A plan amendment is not required for special exception to proceed Neighborhood Meeting: An on-site neighborhood meeting was held at 1066 S Pantano Road, on July 2, 2013 at 6:00 pm.

No other attendees arrived, meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m. Land Use Plan Policy Summary: The General Plan and the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) provide policy direction for this site. The General Plan: The General Plan Policy supports commercial uses at intersections of streets. The existing commercial complex meets Plan policy to be compatible in size, scale, and mass with adjacent uses. Commercial and Office Development policy supports appropriate locations for commercial and office uses, with priority for development and redevelopment within the existing urbanized areas to promote use and improvement of existing infrastructure, to increase pedestrian activity and transit use, and to meet residents' needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable fashion. Conservation, Rehabilitation, and Redevelopment Policies call for economic viability of existing neighborhoods and commercial districts, to use and improve existing infrastructures, increase pedestrian activity and transit use, retain small businesses, and meet residents' needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable fashion. Economic Development Policy is to encourage the expansion and continued viability of trade and service activities and to assist local firms in the trade and service sectors to expand their existing markets. The Pantano East Area Plan: PEAP Commercial Policy supports commercial developments in appropriate locations in the area and discourages the extension of strip commercial as a pattern of development and commercial uses and should be designed to be in harmony with adjacent residential uses. Design Guidelines Manual encourages the 'Good Neighbor' approach -A solution is to encourage limited duration of activities that generate excessive noise, light or traffic by concentrating such activities between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; and limiting hours of operation where possible. Discussion Both the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) and the General Plan support commercial uses at this site due to its location on Pantano Road, designated as an arterial street on the Major Streets and Routes Plan. PEAP supports commercial developments in appropriate locations in the area, discourages the extension of strip commercial as a pattern of development and supports the integration of adjoining commercial uses to be designed in harmony with adjacent residential uses. The General Plan reinforces the direction provided by PEAP. The applicant included a site plan that shows an existing commercial center with on-site parking and circulation. Primary access for the site is from Pantano Road, an arterial street to the east with a secondary access point from 22nd street to the south. The subject site has C-1 commercial zone with existing buildings. The site is an existing retail strip center with a proposal to expand the thrift store into two adjacent suites. An aerial taken in 2012 shows perimeter landscaping, and masonry wall along a portion of the northern perimeter, which buffers and screens the multi-family residential uses located to the north. Staff requests at the time of a full review for the Design Compatibility Report (DCR) to address any outdoor activity such as but not limited to; hours of operation, any new outdoor security lighting, and location of loading zone/drop-off areas if to be located outdoors at rear of building. Final staff support will be based on the proposed buffering and screening adjacent less intense land uses. The proposal as submitted is in general compliance with the Pantano East Area Plan and the General Plan. A plan amendment is not required. Recommendation It is recommended that this request be accepted for processing. The Special Exception request is to allow the expansion of existing retail/household goods Donation Center into two adjacent suites of an existing site and utilizing existing infrastructure to meet residents' needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable fashion. Staff recommends the following issues be addressed at the time of Special Exception submittal as part of mitigating a non-retail donation center in the C-1 neighborhood commercial zone: " Identify location for required landscape borders " Identify location of screened/wall dumpster location " Identify location of commercial vehicle loading zone " If loading and unloading is to occur outdoors, please identify area and how employees/volunteers will be screened from direct sun light. " Commercial vehicle route (circulation) to loading zone from Pantano Road. " No overnight parking of commercial vehicles " No outdoor storage. " If loading/unloading is planned along the rear of the building, then provide Design Compatibility Report to address hours of operation and mitigation of noise generated from commercial activity onto adjacent multi-family complex located to the north " If ancillary outdoor use is proposed such as sorting, boxing, loading, staff recommends the applicant address an outside working area for employees/volunteers, which provides protection from the direct sunlight. Applicable Policy Plan Policies Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) Commercial Policy 1 promotes commercial development in appropriate areas.
