ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM19683-BRUCE KARISH -A requestto subdivide a 5.26 acre site into 3 parcels in the General Industrial (GI) District, located at the northeast corner of 6th Street and Center Avenue APN: 0209-262-25. Related Files: Design Review DRC2016-00268 and CEQA Review CEQA2016-00011. Design Parameters:The project site is a rectangular parcelof about 474feet (north-south) by 558feet (east-west), located at the northeast corner of 6thStreet and Center Avenue.The property to the north and west are in the General Industrial (GI) District, and the property to the east and south are in the Industrial Park (IP) District. To the north is an84,000 square foot manufacturing building, to the south is an 830,000 square foot warehouse distribution building,to the east is a193,000 square footwarehouse distribution building, and to the west is amulti-tenant industrial complex. The site is vacant and vegetation is dominated by short grasses;there are no shrubs or trees are on the project site.The subject property is generally level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,080 feet and 1,070feet, respectively. The applicant proposes to construct threeindustrial buildings:two single tenant and one multi- tenant buildings on three parcels. Parcel 1 is 3.35 acres and will contain Building 1, a four tenant multi-tenant industrial building totaling 63,459 square feet. Parcel2is 0.92 acres and will contain Building 2 totaling 17,709 square feet. Parcel 3 is 0.89 acres and will contain Building 3 totaling 13,708 square feet. The buildings are speculative at this time,but as typical for thesetypesof buildings, asmall officeisincluded in each tenant space.A dock high door and trailer parking space is provided for each building/tenant space. Building 1 provides 6 truck trailer parking spaces, Buildings 2 and 3 each provide 1 truck trailer parking space for a total of 8 truck trailer parking spaces on-site.Automobile parking is provided for each tenant space based on office, manufacturing, and warehouse floor area. Building 1 will provide 88 parking spaces for the four tenant spaces, Building 2 will provide 28 parking spaces, and Building 3 will provide 25 parking spaces, for a combined total of 141 parking spaceson-site. TheDevelopment Code requires a 35-foot building set back off of 6th Street and a 25-foot building setback off of Center Avenue. At the building setback line, buildings are limited to a maximum height of 35 feet. Buildings exceeding 35 feet in height are requiredto be set back an additional 1-foot from the front setback for each 1-foot of height up to a maximum building setback of 70 feet. The project is designed so that most of the buildings are 35 feet high, however, each of the three buildings has a tower element incorporated into its design to differentiate the office floor area from the manufacturing/warehouse floor area. The office area for Building 1 (Unit A), Building 2, and Building 3 have the tower element setback an additional 3 feet behind the primary building plane as the office area tower element increases in height to 38 feet. The proposed buildingswill be of concrete tilt-up constructionpainted with a palette of four different colorswith a secondary materialofglass panels.The building colors are incorporated into geometric patterns and horizontal banding to break up large expanses of stucco. Glass is generously incorporated into the tower element design toemphasize the importance of the office area as the main entry of each tenant space.Each office entrance will also have a metal canopy.
