PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the subject parcel and published in the newspaper. At the time this report was published, staff has not received any public comments. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This proposal is simply consideration for removing the condition of approval prohibiting a drive-through restaurant use on "Pad B." Any such proposal would be subject to separate discretionary review by the City, through consideration of a Conditional Use Permit. Since no development would be considered with this proposal, no environmental document accompanies this report. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Staff believes the proposal to remove the condition of approval prohibiting a drive-through restaurant on "Pad B" is inconsistent with the goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan and the goals and strategies of the CAP. These inconsistencies include greater potential to create adverse Air Quality impacts due to the drive-through component of the proposed restaurant, which fails to meet the stated goals of the General Plan and CAP: as well as being inconsistent with goals to promote a pedestrian-oriented environment to encourage walking and bicycling. In summary, the drive-through component of the proposed restaurant would potentially increase vehicular trips and VMT, thereby reducing the number of customers walking or bicycling to "Pad B" and increasing fuel consumption from those trips and/or from idling vehicles waiting in the drive-through queue. On this basis, staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend denial of the proposal to the City Council. Primary Author Eric Luchini.
