October 12, 1976 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: C.U.P. 76-23 716-722 WEST HUNTINGTON DRIVE 815 SOUTH BALDWIN AVENUE APPLICATION This application was filed on September 27, 1976 by Maxwell Starkman & Associates on behalf of Great Western Savings and requests a conditional use permit and certain modifications to construct a savings and loan with a drive-up teller window at 722-716 Huntington Drive and 815 South Baldwin Avenue. LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site comprises four lots; the property at 722 West Huntington Drive is vacant and zoned C-O D. The properties at 716 West Huntington and 815 South Baldwin are vacant and developed with the temporary headquarters of the Great Western Savings and Loan, respectively, and zoned C-2. The fourth lot contains 1,600 square fee~, is vacant and zoned C-2. Properties to the north are zoned C-O D and developed with a service station and vacant lot. Properties. to the east are zoned C-2 and developed with a service sta~ion and restaurant and mixed commercial uses. Properties to the south are zoned c-o D and C-2 and developed with a vacant lot, residential uses and mixed commercial uses, respectively. Properties to the west are zoned c-o D and R-3 and developed with a single-family dwelling and apartments. (See the attached land use and zoning map.) PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to construct a savings and loan build- ing with a drive-up teller window on approximately 52,698 square feet of property. The property would have 160 feet of street frontage along Huntington Drive and 86.75 feet of street frontage along Baldwin Avenue. The building will be located on four lots; three of the lots will be consolidated (see L-76-l8), and the fourth lot, 815 South Baldwin, will be leased. . . C.U.P. 76-23 2 . The building will contain 9,055 square feet (ground floor area and mezzanine) and will be 33 feet in height. The drive-up teller window will be located on the south side of the building. Setbacks The applicant is requesting a 20-foot setback from the Huntington Drive property line (35 feet from curb) in lieu of 35 feet required (50 feet from curb). The property to the west is zoned C-O D and developed with a house which is set back 50 feet from the property line (65 feet from the curb). Apartment units located at 728-738 and 760-766 Huntington Drive are set back 25 feet from the property line (40 feet from the curb). These apartments received modifications to the special setback require- ment in 1964 (M-64-28 and M-64-l06). These are the only apart- ment buildings located between Hungate and Baldwin Avenue on the south side of the street. The remainder of the block is single-family residential. The service station east of the proposed savings and loan has a setback of approximately 15 feet from the property line (25 feet from the curb), which complies with the special setback for that property. . The Planning Department believes that a modification for a 20-foot setback as requested by the applicant could set a precedent for future development of the' prpperty at 728 Huntington Drive. The Planning Dep~rtment recommends a 25-foot setback from the property line which is consistent with the apartments to the west. All other setback requirements have been complied with. Signing The applicant is requesting the following sign modifications: 1. West elevation -- L~quest a~ 155 square foot illuminated wall sign on the c-o portion of the building in lieu of no signing allowed. 2. South elevation -- request 22.5 square feet of illuminated wall sign to overlap on a portion of the building located in the C-O zone. 3. Request 235.5 square feet of free-standing sign on Huntington Drive and 42 square feet of illuminated sign on Baldwin Avenue in lieu of 150 square feet total signing allowed. . As noted, the proposed site has two different zonings: c-o D and C-2. Seventy feet of the building will be located in the C-2 zone and 35 feet in the c-o zone. . . C.t,!.P. 76-23 3 . The C-O zone permits wall signs on the building front only. The wall sign requested on the west elevation is not permitted by Code. The Planning Department does not ~elieve it is necessary for the sign to be located on this side of the build- ing because the recommended building setba'ck of 25 feet from the property line (40 feet from curb) would obscure the sign from eastbound traffic. Also, the 24-foot pylon sign would have east/west visibility on Huntington Drive. The Planning Department does not believe there is a significant problem in permitting 22.5 square feet of the sign on the south elevation to be located on the portion of the building located in the C-O zone. . Based on the frontage of the C-2 zoned property on Huntington Drive, Code would allow free-standing signs not exceeding a total of 150 square feet. The applicant is proposing two signs totaling 277.5 square feet. One pylon sign would be located on the easterly portion of 716 Huntington Drive and contain 235.5 square feet. The other, a monument sign would be located on Baldwin Avenue and contain 42 square feet. If both frontages on the Huntington Drive lots (716 zoned C-2 and 722 zoned C-O D) were used to calculate sign area, a total of 200 square feet of signing would be allowed. The Planning Department recommends approval of a modification to allow 200 square feet of free-standing sign on Huntington Drive to be located on the C-2 zoned property. Because of the configuration of the site and the distance of the Baldwin Avenue frontage from the Huntington Drive frontage, the Planning Department would recommend approval of the 42 square foot monument sign to be located on Baldwin Avenue. Parking, Landscaping, etc. The building requires 55 parking spaces; 71 are proposed. Ingress and egress to the parking lot will be from Huntington Drive and Baldwin Avenue. . The applicant is requesting that the temporary Great Western building located at 815 South Baldwin be permitted to remain until their new building is constructed, at which time the temporary building would be removed and the remainder of the parking area developed. This request would not create a parking deficiency. The temporary building should be removed within 30 days after the opening of the new building and the parking developed as per the attached plans. . . . C.!J.P. 76-23 4 A covenant approved by the City Attorney should be recorded in the County Recnrder's office guaranteeing that the parking located on this site (815 Baldwin) shall be maintained for the use of the savings and loan. Landscaping exceeds Code requirements. The trash enclosure will be located at the southwest corner of the site. the design overlay for the property requires that a 6-foot high wall be located along the rear lot line of the C-O zoned property. A 4-foot high wall exists along the south property line of 815 Baldwin. The PI anning Department recommends that a 6-foot high wall be constructed along the remainder of the southerly property line adjacent to the parking area. . Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed conditional use permit and determined that the proposal would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the proposed conditional use permit must make the determination that the proposed project would or would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 76-23, subject to the following conditions: 1. Conditions outlined in the attached report from the Depart- ment of Public Works shall be complied with to the satis- faction of the Director of Public Works. 2. That a modification be granted for a 25-foot setback from the property line on Huntington Drive in lieu of 35 feet required (40 feet from curb line in lieu of 50 feet required). ' 3. That a modification be granted to allow a 200 square fobt free-standing sign on the C-2 zoned property on Huntington Drive in lieu of 150 square feet allowed and that a modification be granted to allow a 42 square foot monument sign on Baldwin Avenue as per plans on file. . 4. That a modification be granted to allow 22.5 square feet of wall sign on th~ rear of the building in the c-o zone. 5. That a lot consolidation be filed for the three lots on Huntington Drive. . . . . . C.U.P. 76-23 5 6. That a covenant approved by the City Attorney as to form and content shall be recorded in the office of the CQunty Recorder guaranteeing that the parking located at 815 S. Baldwin shall be maintained as long as said buildings or land use is maintained at 716-722 West Huntington Drive. 7. That a 6-foot high wall be constructed along the southerly property lines of 716-722 Huntington Drive and 815 S. Baldwin, adjacent to the parking area. 8.
