ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2013-00053 -
RANCHO TECH - A request to add a 16,616 square foot addition to an existing
76,405 square foot office building on the north side of 9th Street and west of
Archibald Avenue within the General Industrial Development District, located at
9518 9th Street - APN: 0209-021-05. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
Proiect Proposal: The applicant proposes adding a 16,616 square foot single-story
addition along the west elevation of an existing 76,405 square foot two-story office
building. The addition will architecturally match the existing building and the entire
building will be painted a new color scheme. The 9.73-acre project site is currently
developed with four buildings totaling 274,110 square feet and 933 parking spaces.
There will be 882 parking spaces remaining with the proposed Site Plan changes, which
includes realigning one of the 9th Street drive entrances, leaving 175 parking spaces in
excess of the minimum requirement. The parking lot landscaping adjacent to the
addition will be enhanced with new tree planters to meet current Development Code
standards. A wrought iron fence with decorative pilasters will be constructed around a
portion of the parking lot in front (south) of the existing building to meet the security
needs of the future tenant of the building.
Staff Comments: The applicant has made all the changes recommended by staff, and
the project meets all related Development Code requirements. The addition is designed
to match the existing building, and the new parking lot landscaping will enhance the
project as seen from 9th Street. The relocated vehicle entrance brings it into alignment
with the existing public street to the south for improved vehicle safety. The proposed
project, along with facade changes recently approved by the City for the other large
building on the site, will modernize and greatly enhance the overall project. .
Maior Issues: None.
Secondary Issues: None.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the project as
presented and forward it to the Planning Commission for final approval.
Design Review Committee Action:
The project was approved as presented.
Members Present: Fletcher, Oaxaca, and Granger
Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwaag
