Descriotionl Finance: Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No -J'T h CITY OF SAN BERt4:MDINO - REQUEST ~R COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subject: Initiation of General Northwest Corner of Fifth Mayor and Council Meeting Plan Amendment for and Flores streets of September 18, 1989 the During the land use hearings for the adoption of the General Plan, the northwest corner of Fifth and Flores Streets (Assessor Parcel No. 138-08l, 18, 19) was designated RS, Residential Suburban, which permits single-family dwelling units at a density of 4.5 units per gross acre. The site contains a vacant office building and a car wash which are now nonconforming uses. The General Plan permits the con- tinuance and minor expansion of existing nonconforming uses, but the property owner, Charles Parker, requests a designa- tion consistent with the existing uses. The Urgency Ordinance does not permit General Plan Amendments for six months after Plan adoption (June 2, 1989), unless initiated by the Mayor and Common Council. Although a General Plan Amendment doesn't guarantee that the designation will be changed, it gives the Planning Commission and Mayor and Common Council the opportunity to review the site. The General Plan/Development Code Task Force reviewed options for General Plan Amendments and directed the Planning Depart- ment to develop a resolution that outlines a procedure for processing amendments and waiving fees where the land use designation has created a nonconforming use. This resolution should be before the Mayor and Common Council for review and approval in the near future. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the Mayor and Common Council direct the Planning Department to initiate a General Plan Amendment for the northwest corner of Fifth and Flores streets. In order to start the process, the applicant will be required to submit the full application package and any special studies that may be necessary. I also recommend that processing and environmental review fees be waived for this project. M&CCAGENDA:GPA 75-0264 '. .. o o ,.
