I. RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a one (1) year extension for Site Plan Review 18-02 approved by the City of Coalinga Planning Commission on August 4, 2018.
II. BACKGROUND:
On August 14, 2018, the City of Coalinga Planning Commission approved a Site Plan Review Application for the development of a new Family Dollar retail facility to be located on the SE Corner of Elm Ave and 5th Street.
In accordance with Condition of Approval #1, the approved site plan shall become void in the event that less than fifty (50) percent of the site, or an approved phased development, has not occurred within twelve (12) months after the approval of the site plan.
The applicant is requesting a one (1) year extension of their site plan review. In addition to the extension, the applicant wanted to share some minor elevation changes to enhance the curb appeal of the development as attached.
III. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS:
Family Dollar has been working to finalize drawings and prepare this project for construction. The are currently finalizing their grading permit submittal which is currently under review with the City Engineer and will be submitting for the shell (Building Permit) shortly. Additionally, they have also started the encroachment process with Caltrans for their offsite improvements. Their construction start date is dependent on construction permit approval.
In addition to the extension request, Family Dollar wanted to share some additional exterior elevation changes with the addition of faux glazed windows with black reflective features. An example of these elevations have been attached for the commissions review.
IV. FISCAL IMPACT:
None determined at this time.
V. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The project is continuing to move forward with grading plans approved, building plans are being developed and allowing the approvals to null and void would just require resubmittal of a site plan where the same project scope and design would be submitted delaying project completion. |
