PlanningBoard | 2005-02-28 | 10 | 8-B. R04-0002, UP04-0013, V04-0018, DR04-0101: 1410 Everett-Mary Applegate (DV). Public hearing to reconsider a Design Review (DR04-0101) for the construction of a new 5,300 sq. ft. veterinary clinic on a lot currently developed with a vacant bank building which would be demolished located at 2501 Central Avenue. The existing veterinary clinic located at 1410 Everett Street would be demolished and developed as a parking lot. The proposed 23 space parking lot can be accessed from either Central Avenue or Everett Street. The project also requires the rezoning of an approximately 7,800 square foot lot currently developed as a parking lot located between the bank building and the adjacent condominium building. The lot would be rezoned from R-5, General Residential Zoning District, to C-C, Community Commercial Zoning District to establish consistency with the General Plan. The lots at 2501 Central Avenue and 1410 Everett Street are zoned C-C, Community Commercial Zoning District. Ms. Altschuler summarized the staff report. Four separate actions are sought by the Planning Board: 1. A recommendation on a conformance rezoning; 2. A decision on a Use Permit; 3. A decision on a Variance for a second driveway; and 4. A decision on a Design Review for the new building being proposed. Ms. Altschuler advised that this item had been appealed to the City Council, who returned the case to the Planning Board for second review in response to expressed concerns related to the wording of the public notice. She advised that the original notice was listed as 1410 Everett, the address for the original clinic. However, the expansion would occur on a site that is addressed off of Central Avenue. City Council directed staff to bring this item back before the Board as a de novo hearing, and all four items will be heard as if they were new items. She reviewed the items for the Board, and emphasized that the rezoning was intended to conform to the intent of the General Plan for that site. The conformance rezoning was separate from any expansion intended for the veterinary clinic; rezonings do not run with a use, and are legislative actions that affects all future uses. President Cunningham advised that numerous speaker slips had been received. M/S Mariani/Kohlstrand and unanimous to limit the speakers' time to three minutes.
