CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1998 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Coun . • .� FROM: . . •Community D lo nt Director SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission's Decision to Uphold Conditions of Approval for File Index Number D-15-98, Reche Canyon Rehabilitation Center. Inc., Parking Lot Project. DATE: June 8, 1998 BACKGROUND: On April 9, 1998, representatives for Reche Canyon Rehabilitation Center, Inc., 1350 Reche Canyon Road, Colton, submitted an application for review and approval of a parking lot expansion, to create 56 additional parking spaces. On April 20, 1998, the project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC). The project was approved, with conditions, including the City Engineer's requirement to complete a drainage channel, that was a condition of approval when the Center was originally approved for construction in 1990. The channel is a necessary improvement to help alleviate a portion of the flooding in that area of Reche Canyon. It is especially critical now, since the new parking lot would create additional run-off that would only acerbate the flooding problem, if not properly mitigated. The required condition that is being appealed by the applicant is as follows: CITY ENGINEER: 1. PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT OR THE INSTALLATION OF ANY PAVING, THE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECHE CANYON CONVALESCENT CENTER HYDROLOGY STUDY BY HAROLD LANTIS, P.E., (PHONE NUMBER (619) 741-0533), DATED MAY 7, 1990, SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED. DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PLANS ARE REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER BEFORE CONSTRUCTION. OFFSITE EASEMENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES. AN ALTERNATE DRAINAGE SOLUTION IS PERMITTED, PREPARED BY A CALIFORNIA LICENSED CIVIL ENGINEER AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER. THE ALTERNATE SOLUTION STUDY SHALL UPDATE THE ORIGINAL STUDY AND ESTABLISH THE ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR MITIGATION OF THE PROJECT IMPACTS WHICH SHALL REPLACE CURRENT HYDROLOGY STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH ARE DEEMED PART OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT. THE CONSTRUCTION OF ALL DRAINAGE MITIGATION MEASURES, SHALL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE PROJECT PAVING IS INSTALLED.
