NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION (ND No. 18-01)

The City of Oxnard Planning Division has evaluated the following project for environmental impacts:
A request to construct a new 60,367 square-foot tilt-up concrete light industrial building with warehousing, office space and associated site improvements on a vacant 5.66-acre lot located at 3000 Camino Del Sol. The building is expected to provide industrial occupancy for typical industrial uses described in the Light Manufacturing (M-1) zoning ordinance of the City Code. No outdoor storage is proposed. A loading area, with 3 loading docks is located at the rear of the building. The proposed building height is 38 feet which well below the allowed 55 feet and 120 parking spaces will be provided where 111 are required.

TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

MND # 2016-01 

The City of Oxnard Planning Division has reviewed applications on the following proposal:

PZ 15-200-02 (Development Design Review); PZ 15-660-01 (Alley Vacation); and PZ 16-570-01 (City-Initiated Zone Change) to support a request to construct an all affordable 240-unit residential apartment complex with associated site improvements and on-site amenities in accordance with the City’s adopted All Affordable Housing Opportunity Program (AAHOP) and the Attached Dwelling Unit Development Standards. The apartment complex is proposed at a density of 20-dwelling units/acre and consists of eleven 20-plex and two 10-plex, three-story buildings on a 12-acre site located within the Five Points Northeast Neighborhood (former Skyview Drive­In site).  The apartment complex site (APN 204­0­020­26) has no direct street access and is currently served through a lot currently addressed as 1250 South Oxnard Boulevard (APNs 204­0­020­05, 08, 09, 10, 11, 14, 15, 27, and 28) located along the southern street facing side of the project site. Through a lot line adjustment, access for ingress and egress to the project will be accommodated off of South Oxnard Boulevard.

A City-initiated Zone Change is being processed concurrently with this project in order to change an approximate 1.44-acre portion of the 12-acre site from Community Reserve, Affordable Housing (CR-AH) to Garden Apartment Planned Development, Affordable Housing (R3-PD-AH).  This change will ensure compliance with the City’s 2030 General Plan Land Use designation of Residential Medium (RM, 12-18 du/acre).

The AH overlay designation on the project site establishes a minimum of 20 du/per acre. In addition to the parking concessions permitted given that this project is 100% affordable, the project is entitled to certain AAHOP allowances for height and density, one AAHOP concession, and a ten percent modification to one or more numerical development standards. The applicant is proposing a 36 foot tall building though a maximum of 35 feet is permitted in the R-3-PD zone; the height increase is permitted under the AAHOP program.  As an AAHOP concession, the project is requesting that the side yard setback provision of the Oxnard Municipal Code (OMC Section No. 16-61) be waived to allow carports to encroach into the required 5 foot setbacks. The AAHOP modification of 10% will provide a reduction in the development standards related to unit sizes, building separation, storage areas, and balcony sizes.  The applicant is also initiating approval to vacate a public alley on the project site in exchange for a public access and utility easement.

Filed by Jan R. Hochhauser with Hochhauser Blatter Architects, 122 East Arrellaga Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101.

In accordance with Section 15070 of the California Code of Regulations, the Planning Division of the City of Oxnard has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project would have a significant effect on the environment, and that a mitigated negative declaration (MND) may be adopted.

OXNARD VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN, FINAL EIR (VOLUMES 1 AND II)

In January 2009, the Oxnard City Council approved the Oxnard Village Specific Plan (VSP) to guide future development on a 64-acre urban infill project site located near the northern edge of the City of Oxnard and bounded by U.S. Highway 101, Oxnard Boulevard, North Ventura Road, and the Union Pacific Railroad. Approvals included Planning & Zoning permit Nos. 06-620-03 (General Plan Amendment); 06-570-05 (Zone Change); 06-670-02 (Development Agreement and Owner Participation Agreement); 06-300-08 (Tentative Subdivision Map); 08-630-02 (Specific Plan Amendment); and 06-260-01 (Mobile Home Closure Permit). The VSP provides for a complete rebuild of the project site from a mix of commercial, manufacturing, and a mobile home park to 1,500 dwelling units, 50,300 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial development, a sub-transportation center, parks and open space, and related roads and parking. The VSP is a planning document to guide the development of new infrastructure to serve approximately 21 planning areas within which architectural and landscape guidelines set the envelope for specific projects that are responding to market demand and developers’ product choices.

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an environmental impact report (FEIR No. 06-03) was prepared and certified by the City Council on September 18, 2008 (State Clearinghouse No. 2006101099) that analyzed the potential adverse impacts associated with the 64-acre Village Specific Plan on the surrounding community and environment. The FEIR contains specific and adaptive mitigation measures and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was prepared for the VSP implementation process. Individual projects will be reviewed and evaluated for substantial consistency with the VSP and MMRP, and applicable mitigation measures will be imposed as conditions of specific development project approvals consistent with the VSP.

Below are the Oxnard Village Specific Plan EIR Volumes I & II for reference and a web link to the Oxnard Village Specific Plan which was adopted in 2009.
