C), 2�1116 City Clerk and ex -officio Clerk oVesa he City Council of the City of Costa ADDENDUM SPECIFIC PLAN SP -76-01 Specific Plan SP -76-01 was adopted by the City Council in April, 1976, to guide the conversion of an underdeveloped area of approximately four (4) acres rear of Costa Mesa Memorial Hospital on Victoria Street to high density residential development. The Plan included a zoning incen- tive plan to encourage the combination of individual lots into larger development sites and additional development standards to deal with the high traffic -generated noise levels of Victoria Street. Since the adoption of the Specific Plan, all of the parcels except 348 Victoria Street (occupied by a recently -constructed convalescent hospital) have been redeveloped in conformance with the above -referenced standards and policies. These six parcels were combined into four developments with a total of 62 units. In July, 1978, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment from General Commercial to High Density Residential for an additional 1.7 acres located immediately east of the boundary of SP -76-01. Addition- ally, the Council directed the Planning Department to amend SP -76-01 to include the property between 280 and 300 Victoria Street. Inclusion of this additional area will require the expansion of the plan area and the refinement of the development standards to conform to current zoning requirements and development policies. Specific amendments to Section III (Plan Elements) of the plan to accomplish these goals are noted below: Amendment 1: Revise Location Map to indicate the inclusion of property between 280 and 300 Victoria Street (copy attached). Amendment 2: Revise Zoning Plan Map to include the property between 280 and 300 Victoria Street (copy attached). -- Amendment 3: Add a new paragraph at the end of Section III B (Zoning Plan) as follows: "The portion of the property at 300 Victoria Street occupied by the dentist office will be rezoned to CL (Commercial Limited). This designation is consistent with the High Density Residential General Plan designation and will allow for the continued use of the build- ing for medical offices. The remaining portion of the lot will be zoned R2 and will be eligible for higher density zoning if combined with additional area to the east." Amendment 4: Modify Development Standards 3 and 4. These standards for building setbacks and window placement were included as noise attenua- tion measures. Since the adoption of the Specific Plan, the City has moved away from development standards to control undesirable noise levels toward the use of a performance standard for both interior and exterior noise levels. This approach also allows greater design flexi- bility for the project developer. Performance standards for noise attenuation were included in the recently adopted multiple family resi- dential zoning districts. It is recommended that these conditions be modified as follows: "An acoustical evaluation of the working drawings of the proposed residential project shall be submitted to the Planning Department by a licensed acoustical engineer prior to the issuance of building permits. The engineer shall certify that the construction will reduce interior noise levels to at least 45 CNEL and exterior noise levels to at least 65 CNEL. Building occupancy will be granted upon submittal of a field test report from a licensed acoustical engineer certifying that the above standards have been met. The method of field testing shall be approved by the Planning Depart- ment." Page I of Exhibit Resolution No. 78-89 Amendment 5: Delete Development Standard 5. This standard was estab- lished prior to the recent amendments to the multiple family residential zoning districts which now require a minimum of 40 percent open space. Amendment 6: Revise Section III E (Specific Plan Implementation) as follows: 1. The developer of a project shall file an application for a Development Review or, if necessary, a Zone Exception Permit. 2. Staff shall review the proposed project plan to determine compliance with the standards in the Specific Plan in addition to zoning requirements. 3. The City shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny each application. 4. If a proposed project plan includes sufficient acreage to qualify for a density bonus as outlined in Section B of this Specific Plan, the Staff shall include a condition of approval as follows: "Applicant shall legally combine the parcels included in the proposed project plan so as to create one parcel prior to the granting of building occupancy or within 90 days of approval of the Development Review (Zone Excep- tion Permit), whichever is sooner." 5. Subsequent to approval of the Development Review or Zone Exception Permit and upon notification that the applicant has legally combined parcels, the City shall initiate a rezone petition to change the land use district designation to the appropriate zone. 6. Building Permits may be granted after Development Review or Zone Exception approval and prior to the finalization of required lot combinations.
