Div. AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR PR\h:p ��p&.� to BY , DEPUTY Carol Lane General Plan Amendment May 18, 1999 Page 2 BACKGRQU lEA ONS FOR RECC3MMEND TANS The Contra Costa Public Works Department hes requested a General Plan Amendment to re-designate a site consisting of two parcels totaling 33,000 square feet in Oakley at Carol Mane and State Route 4 from Single Family Residential-High Density to Commercial. The two parcels front State Route 4 and are situated across from the Cypress Square Shopping Center in Oakley. The Carol Lane site is a remaining unused portion of right-of- way acquired by the Public Works Department to provide for improvements to State Route 4 in the Oakley area. The site is now considered as surplus and no longer necessary for public purposes. Given the small size of the site, less than one acre, there are relatively few policy implications with the re-designation. It can be considered more of a precising of the plan boundary than a significant shift in policy. The site is within all urban service districts that have an obligation to serve the site, and there will be no violations of growth management standards with the re-designation to Commercial use. If this site was redesignated for Commercial use; there is the potential to have the site developed concurrently with or as a part of a commercially designated area covering 3.93 acres to the north. This would provide an opportunity for an integrated development that would allow for a more efficient use of the land enabling the design of a commercial development with improved access to State Route 4, and a better site layout for internal circulation and parking. The East County Regional Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this matter on April 5, 1999, and unanimously recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment to redesignate the site from Single Family Residential-High Density to Commercial use. Although there was no objection voiced at the April 5, 1999 public hearing, the Community Development Department did receive one letter from a nearby residence on Carol Lane objecting to the proposed General Plan Amendment (see attached as Exhibit "A").
