RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Public Improvement Agreements between the City and M & D Development, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company.
Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
M & D Development, LLC is the owner of a 3.90-acre lot located at the southwest corner of Magnolia Avenue and Downs Way. The zoning of the property is M-1 (Light Manufacturing). The owner is proposing to construct an approximately 10,000 square foot drive-through car wash that includes self-service vacuum stations. Automobile service stations are allowed in the M-1 zone and pursuant to the definition in Corona Municipal Code Section 17.04.069, a car wash is allowed.
ANALYSIS:
M & D Development, LLC will enter into three public improvement agreements with the City, and post sufficient securities to guarantee the construction of the necessary public improvements, which includes street, water, sewer and storm drain, and modification of the traffic signal at the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Downs Way. The project will complete the construction of the missing public improvements adjacent to and near the project site in order to support the future use of the site.
The table below shows the amount of the securities posted with the City by the developer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action merely approves agreements that provide security to guarantee completion of improvements that are required in connection with a ministerial permit, and there is no possibility that approving these agreements will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
