ATTACHMENT A

 

9.  UC-0038-11 – ONE CAP MORTGAGE II, ET AL:

USE PERMIT for a congregate care facility.

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) permit access to local streets; and 2) allow a non-decorative wall.

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following: 1) a congregate care facility; and 2) signage on 4.0 acres in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 and CMA Design Overlay Districts.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Torrey Pines Drive and Diablo Drive within Spring Valley.  MBS/pd/ml

Passed 4-0 with staff conditions plus: Crash gate installed on driveway at Diablo, owner will contract with providers to assure deliveries and refuse removal occurs between 8AM and 4PM

 

There was strong opposition to the project from 19 neighborhood residents. Signage remains on the undeveloped lot touting plans for 20 new homes and many believed that was the only allowed use. The overarching objection was a belief that this is a commercial use and belongs along Jones or Russell. Additional concerns involved fear of overflow parking along residential streets. Applicant held an earlier open house and met with the majority of those attending and stated a commitment to being a good neighbor, and a policy of locating in residential settings out of concern for their patients. They offered to ask the county to mark the adjacent streets with “no parking” signs/red curbs. The applicant will serve the nearby Spring Valley Hospital providing rehabilitation services. Patients will be transported to and from the facility without emergency lights and sirens except under dire circumstances. The TAB advised the residents that simply not wanting a project does not allow for its prevention and suggested the best approach was to assure that if approved, any major concerns are mitigated as much as possible. TAB members commented the applicant has exceeded landscaping and parking requirements, has created a compatible architectural design and the proposed operation is consistent with the growth of healthcare facilities in the area. TAB declined to add limited street parking requirements, instead asking the applicant to meet further with residents. Residents were advised to consider that parking limitations would also affect them, but if they still felt strongly after further meetings to ask the BCC to make that decision.  

 

HOLDOVERS:

2.         DR-0176-11 – The crossing – a christian Church:

DESIGN REVIEW for an expansion to an existing place of worship on 20.3 acres in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Windmill Lane, 630 feet west of Buffalo Drive within Spring Valley.  SS/pd/xx

Approved 4-0 with staff conditions plus design review for lighting and signage, with additional informal requests for action.

The TAB expressed dismay that this applicant is not subject to Title 30 standards because of its location in a  PF designation. This means they cannot be held to the same standards as other congregations and even a convenience store and gas station approved recently in Spring Valley. TAB wishes to avoid even the appearance that any church is given preferential treatment. Were they subject, waivers would have been required for building height and the planned 80 foot spire. TAB asked the church representative to please consider that as a good neighbor they should do what is right for the area, which may not be the same as that which they are allowed to do under the law. Neighbors appeared to complain about existing lighting that is unshielded. Congregation leadership promised to consider meeting the same lighting standards as other churches have done, and to consider modifying the existing lighting which shines onto adjacent residential areas. TAB thanked them for their consideration, congratulated them on their success and recommended lighting and signage design reviews.
