TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP AND ZONE CHANGE (TPM 2004-12, 2004-56-CZ) A Tentative parcel Map for four parcels plus a remainder parcel on one acre in the R-1-20 zone (Single-Family Residential - 20,000 SF minimum lot size) and R-1-7 zone (Single-Family Residential - 7,000 SF minimum lot size) in conjunction with a rezone on the R-1-20 area to R-1-7. The property is located on the southeastern corner of the intersection of El Norte Parkway and Bennett Avenue, addressed as 2181, 2189 and 2191 West El Norte Parkway.

a. ORDINANCE NO. 2008-18 Introduction and first reading

b. RESOLUTION NO. 2008-121

17. MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR A CONCRETE BATCH PLANT (2007-38-CUP/DA), LOCATED AT 1310 SIMPSON WAY A request for a modification to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit for a concrete ready mix batch plant on a 2.02-acre site in the M-2 (General Industrial) zone, at 1310 Simpson Way. Although the batch plant has not been constructed yet, the applicant is requesting to increase production from 750 cubic yards of concrete per day to 950 cubic yards per day. The modification also includes the elimination of a mitigation measure which previously required a traffic signal at the intersection of Hale Avenue and Simpson Way, with the addition of alternative traffic mitigation measures to accommodate the increase in traffic generated by the new proposal. The plant would be entirely enclosed and would consist of aggregate storage areas, two 65-foot-high cement storage silos, enclosed conveyor belts to transfer raw materials, a 12,000-gallon diesel fuel tank, a 360 SF office, and a batch plant. Concrete would be produced by combining cement, water and aggregates (rock and sand) from an enclosed facility into fifteen ready mix trucks that would make an average of over six deliveries each from the property per day. The project also includes a Development Agreement to determine the appropriate way to capture revenues equivalent to the sales tax generated by the facility; require City Council consideration of the CUP modification; determine traffic related improvement requirements; and determine hours related to the supplemental production request. No other site plan or design modifications are proposed

Staff Recommendations: Approval (Community Dev./Planning: Jon Brindle)
