File Index Number DZ -09-99 Concurrently with File Index Number DT -28-99 July 27, 1999 Page 4 COMPATIBILITY TO SURROUNDING USES The project site is located in a fully urbanized area. Notwithstanding two churches, one that is located immediately adjacent to the project site at the southwest corner of Citrus Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and the second to the west on Citrus Street, it is surrounded on the north, south and west by existing R-1 single family residential houses. Located across Pennsylvania Avenue on the east is American Tire Disposal, which is a tire recycling facility. The facility is located on property that is zoned M-1, which is Light Industrial. American Tire Disposal was granted a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission to operate the tire recycling facility, and as a Condition of Approval is required to provide adequate landscaping and screening along Pennsylvania Avenue. It is staff's opinion that the proposed projects, DZ -09-99 and DT - 28 -99, are compatible with the surrounding uses. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: On March 23, 1999, an Initial Study and Environmental Analysis was prepared for File Index Number DZ -09-99, and processed by staff for comments to all Responsible Agencies. Staff received a response from the Colton Joint Unified School District stating that if the property was rezoned, and subsequently developed with 39 single family residential units (this is the number of units that the applicant initially intended to construct), it would have the potential to impact the District's elementary school in the immediate area. Based on the District's response, on April 12, 1999, staff issued a supplemental amendment to the Initial Study and Environmental Analysis. In order to comply with the request of the Design Review Committee, the applicant subsequently submitted Tentative Tract #16019, File Index Number DT -28-99. On June 3, 1999, in lieu of preparing another Initial Study and Environmental Analysis for File Index Number DT -28-99, staff prepared an Addendum to the Initial Study and Environmental Analysis that was prepared for File Index Number DZ -09-99. The Addendum provided a description of the proposed Tentative Tract #16019, and was processed by staff for comments to all Responsible Agencies. Staff received one response, from Southern California Edison, stating that the proposed Tentative Tract #16019, would not unreasonably interfere with their easement located within the boundaries of the proposed map. No other comments were received. On June 21, 1999, the Design Review Committee considered both proposals, DZ -09-99 and DT -28-99. The Committee recommends that the Planning Commission approve File Index Number DZ -09-99 and recommend approval to the City Council with the filing of a Negative Declaration, and approval of File Index Number DT -28-99, with Conditions of Approval.
