ITEM NO.2 GOLDENROD AVENUE PARKING LOT(PA2017-023)
Site Location: 506, 508, 510, and 512 Goldenrod Avenue
Summary:
A request to amend Use Permit No. UP3638,which was approved in 1998,allowing the reconfiguration
of an existing commercial parking facility on four lots in the Two-Unit Residential (R-2)Zoning District.
The Use Permit would be amended to remove Condition of Approval No.9,which requires a restrictive
covenant guaranteeing use of the parking lot by the commercial buildings located at 2831 and 2855
East Coast Highway. The applicant desires to downsize the facility such that two of the four lots are
available for residential development. The other two lots would remain as commercial parking and are
proposed to be donated to the City.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures)and Section
15305 under Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the CEQA Guidelines,
because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. _approving Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-003 to amend Use
Permit No. UP3638.
