ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit, CUP17-001 was approved on February 6, 2017 to expand an existing motel with the addition of 14 rooms on 0.43 acres in the GC (General Commercial) designation of the Downtown Corona Revitalization Specific Plan. The project is located on the north side of West Sixth Street approximately 50 feet east of Lincoln Avenue as shown on Exhibit “A.”
In compliance with Grading Ordinance No. 2568, the owner will enter into a Grading Agreement to secure the precise grading operations, which include drainage improvements. A cash deposit has been posted to guarantee erosion control. The grading design conforms to the Grading Ordinance, and is consistent with sound engineering standards and practices. The elevation design minimizes significant height and slope differentials from surrounding properties, while maintaining the City’s obligation to protect the health and safety of citizens and property.
Securities have been posted as follows:
COMMITTEE ACTION:

STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
In conjunction with the approval for CUP17-001 on February 6, 2017, City staff determined this project qualifies as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15332 (Infill Development Projects) because the project is consistent with the General Plan designation, zoning, and all applicable development standards of the project site. The project site is less than five acres and surrounded by existing development to the north, east, south and west. The project site was previously developed with a residential building; therefore, it is highly unlikely for the site to contain any habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, there is no possibility that the project will have any significant effects on the environment, no environmental analysis is required.
