WHEREAS, the amendment to the General Plan Diagram is desired to allow for the development of a 3,180-square-foot convenience gas mart and carwash as identified in Site Development Permit Application SDP-2019-01426 (the "Project"); and WHERAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the plans and conditions of approval for Site Development Permit Application SDP-2019-01426 and recommended to the City Council that the application be approved based upon the findings stipulated below; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing pertaining to said amendment on November 261h 2019, for General Plan Amendment Application GPA-2019- 01429 as described on the attached amendment to the General Plan Diagram and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed pertinent documents prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and recommended that the Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted for GPA-2019-01429 after consideration of all testimonial and written evidence submitted prior to and during the aforementioned public hearing; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on GPA-2019-01429 on January 21, 2020; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING FINDS AND RESOLVES as follows: 1. The above recitations are true, correct, and are adopted herein. 2. Based on the Initial Study and the information contained in the record, there will be no significant effect on the environment. The City Council has reviewed the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, all reports submitted by staff, and all testamentary and documentary evidence presented at the public hearing, and hereby determines that the Project as mitigated will not have an adverse impact on the environment. 3. The City Council, in the exercise of its independent judgment, hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for GPA-2019-01429 as referred to the City Council by the Planning Commission. 4. The City Council hereby finds that the Project is a retail development of less than ten (10) acres in size, that the application for a General Plan Amendment therefore does not represent a request for"significant retail" land within the meaning of General Plan Policy CCD13A, General Plan Implementation Task No. 14, and Development Services Director Policy 2018-01 and therefore requires no market analysis. 5. The City Council hereby finds that the Applicant has demonstrated a need for additional retail commercial land to serve the existing retail market as follows: A. The Project will allow for the development of a convenience gas market and car wash. B. The Project area has only one other gas market located on the North side of State Highway 44 and there are no other gas markets within a 2 mile radius and this project. C. The Project will facilitate service to the public living or working in the immediate area of the Project due to the availability of more choices for the consumer. D. The Project will further facilitate provision of gasoline for those traveling on State Highway 44. 6. The City Council hereby approves the amendments to the General Plan Diagram as set forth on the map attached hereto and made part hereof by; LOCATION: Approximately 1.2 acres located at 2450 Goodwater Avenue FROM: Limited Office (LO) TO: Neighborhood Commercial (NC) 7. The City Council hereby approves the Site Development Permit Application(SDP-2019- 01427) based on the following findings: 1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use. The convenience gas mart use with the associated carwash at this site will have impacts to the neighborhood in regards to traffic and general activity at the site for longer hours. The conditions of approval require improvements that address these impacts such as road improvements, additional landscaping, fencing and a new traffic signal. Overall, the addition of a traffic signal and other improvements will mitigate the impacts so that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood. 2. The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the city. The proposed project would not result in any detrimental effects upon the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood because the site has adequate distance separated by a public road from residences and traffic flow will be improved by adding a traffic signal. For the same reasons described under Finding 1, the proposed convenience store and carwash would not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the City. 3. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies established by the General Plan and the Redding Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently zoned "LO" Limited Office with a General Plan classification of "Limited Office." These current designations do not allow for convenience gas marts with a carwash. The project requires a general plan amendment and rezoning to Neighborhood Commercial and "NC" Neighborhood Commercial, respectively, to allow for the development of a convenience gas mart with carwash at this site. With the approval of the general plan amendment and rezoning applications, the construction of the proposed convenience gas mart would be permissible. The Redding Zoning Ordinance provides a process by which property owners can petition the City Council to amend the General Plan classification and Zoning designation of their property through a deliberative process that includes a public hearing. This process was followed per the requirements established by the Redding Zoning Ordinance. 4. The proposed use and project design are consistent with the design guidelines established by resolution of the City Council in accordance with Redding Zoning Ordinance Section 18.40.050, Design Criteria. The proposal is subject to the adopted design criteria for commercial development referenced in the Redding Zoning Ordinance. In accordance with the design criteria, the architectural design of the proposal incorporates the use of various building materials and forms and design techniques that provide interest and avoid long, blank walls along the street front. The clear story on the roof elevation breaks up the boxy style of the building. The varying stucco and colors add visual interest and help the proposal meet the design criteria approved by City Council. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the Redding City Council on the 21 S` day of January, 2020, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Dacquist, Resner,Winter,and McElwain NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Schreder ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ADAM McELVAIN, Mayor ATTEST: FORM APPROVED: 1"ez'8 ZOO 4-4 OL IC OR - ' A PAMELA MIZE, City ClifBARRY E.TFiWXiLf, City Attorney �y GWY 10 to 20; ,` J HI GC GO RECOVERY WAY GC -5' HC ° STgT�y z 6 to 10 w GWY u - o NC 7 co GOOD TER AVE GWY GOODWATER AVE 0 LO _ w ._ cn _.....
