The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan; and b.

The City Council approved the overall Victoria Gardens Regional Center via entering into a Development Agreement and a Development Disposition Agreement with the applicant, and by approving a Tentative Parcel Map and Victoria Community Plan Amendment on February 20, 2002. The City Council adopted a Project Environmental Impact Report(EIR)as environmental clearance for these agreements and entitlements. The current Development Review application is consistent with the scope of work and type of development analyzed by the Project EIR. Furthermore, there have been no changes in the circumstances surrounding the project nor has new information surfaced to indicate that the project would have substantial environmental impacts beyond those discussed in the EIR. Therefore, no subsequent or supplemental EIR is necessary based upon the findings as follows: a. The project is within the scope of that evaluated by the Project Environmental Impact Report for the Victoria Gardens Master Plan, Development Agreement,Tentative Parcel Map, and Development Disposition Agreement as certified by the City Council on February20,2002(State Clearinghouse No. 20010301028); and b. There have been no substantial changes made either to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project since the City Council certified the Project Environmental Impact Report on February 20, 2002; and C. No new information of substantial importance has arisen since the Project EIR was certified to indicate that the project would have significant effects not discussed in the EIR orthat the mitigation measures imposed are infeasible. 5. Notwithstanding any other provision or condition in this Resolution, nothing herein shall be interpreted as a waiver or modification of the approved Development Agreement and Master Plan for Victoria Gardens, and in the event of any conflict between this Resolution and the Development Agreement or the Master Plan, the Development Agreement, or Master plan shall supersede and be controlling. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 03-160 ORC2003-00843 - JCPENNEY October 22, 2003 Page 3 6. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference: Planning Division 1) Provide granite tile to match wainscoting up to the base of the overhead trellis features (10 feet up from ground level) on the building projections at the four entry points to the building. 2) The inner return walls on the four entrances above the level of the trellis features shall be treated with a color and material matching the color and texture of the granite wainscoting. 3) Surround the opening at each entrance with a substantial molding. 4) Provide a decorative cornice around all four sides of the building but not on the entry towers. The cornice shall be of sufficient size balanced in proportion to the building mass. 5) Building wall reveals shall be of sufficient width and depth to provide strong shadows to break up building surfaces into the square and rectangular shapes shown on elevations. Three-inch reveals are acceptable. 6) Provide a trellis like feature over the entry to the loading dockto provide a source of visual interest to draw the eye away from the more utilitarian interior space of the dock area. The overhead trellis design shown to the Design Review Committee on October 14, 2003, is acceptable. It is recognized that any overhead structure will have to be located high enough to allow clearance for servicing of the trash compactor. 7) Coordinate with the mall developer to provide dense landscaping along the west side of Monticello Avenue and the north side of Versailles Street to enhance the screening of the loading dock area from Day Creek Boulevard and eastbound Versailles Street. 8) Eliminate the northem-most drop off parking bay on Monticello Avenue as it does not appear oriented to building entry and forces the curb-to- building dimension down to 4 feet. Adjust southerly drop off parking bay and pedestrian walk across Monticello Avenue to align walk with west entrance of building. 9) Provide enhanced paving treatment in the driveway entrance to the loading dock area at the southwest comer of the building to maintain a high level of visual interest relative to the pedestrian experience for those walking by the dock area.
