INTRODUCE the ordinance giving effect to the aforesaid rezoning, waive reading and set date for adoption of same. 5. DIRECT the Community Development Department to post the Notice of Determination with the County Clerk. FISCAL IMPACT: The applicant is responsible for cost of processing the application. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant is requesting the rezoning of the 10,890 sq. ft. property from Multi-family Residential District (M-29) to General Commercial (C) to establish consistency with the General Plan Commercial (CO) designation. The zoning districts in the surrounding area consist of RB (Retail Business) to the south and west; C (General Commercial) to the north and east. The uses in the immediate area consist predominantly of Commercial buildings. The applicant's request was heard by the County Planning Commission on June 12, 2001. The County Planning Commission, after evaluating the proposal and evidence submitted, voted to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning to the Board of Supervisors: The Department received a letter regarding this project from Debra L. Williams who owns a business on 5011 Blum Road, which addressed some concerns about the existing traffic congestion on Blum Road. Mrs. Williams has requested that current traffic patterns, parking, site safety, and other issues be considered before the rezoning of the property is approved. Staff has contacted Mrs. Williams and stated that the applicant had not submitted any development plan as part of the rezoning proposal and that before any development plan occurs on the subject site, the applicant will have to obtain approval from the County and secure a development plan/ land use permit. The adopted Contra Costa County General Plan EIR (Environmental Impact Report) did not identify any significant traffic impact due to the fact that the General Plan Designation of the site is commercial. Staff is relying on the adopted EIR to conclude that a commercial project would not cause a significant traffic impact; however, the potential for a traffic impact on Blum Road would also be analyzed at the time a development plan/land use permit is submitted. Additionally, Mrs. Williams was informed that even though her letter was not presented at the June 12, 2001, Planning Commission meeting, her letter would be attached to the Board of Supervisors package and that she would be informed of the July 24, 2001 public hearing.
