The use of this building will comply with the city’s noise ordinance requirements as outlined in Chapter 9.48 of the WMC. The use will also comply with Chapter 8.64 regarding light pollution. The architectural design proposed is “Farm Chic” which is consistent with the City’s Commercial Design Standards and Guidelines. C-P-S Development Standards (Chapter 17.76.030): The uses planned for the commercial retail center are permitted and conditionally permitted uses listed in the C-P-S zone as outlined in Chapter 17.76 of the WMC. Physical development of the commercial retail center is subject to the development standards of Chapter 17.76.030 of the C-P-S zone which establishes standards and requirements related to lot area, setbacks, building height, etc. The retail project is consistent with the C-P-S zone standards as determined by staff, and has been designed to meet and exceed the development standards of the C-P-S zone. The overall theme of the center (Farm Chic) is consistent with the City’s Commercial Design Standards and Guidelines. A copy of the overall site plan and architectural elevations, landscaping, etc. is provided in Attachments B, C and D. Site Plan/Building Layout: The site plan has been designed to meet the development standards of the C-P-S zone in accordance with Section 17.76 of the WMC. Staff has analyzed the proposed project site plan to ensure compliance with the development standards related to setbacks, building height, 13

Off-Street Parking: The proposed retail project complies with the parking standards outlined in Section 17.188 of the WMC. The retail project has a total size of 11, 817 square feet which requires 71 spaces (6/1000 ratio). The total required provided on the site plan is 73 spaces, thus, the parking requirement has been met. This amount includes all required handicap/accessible stalls as well as bicycle parking and EV spaces per Cal Green codes. Each parking stall has also been designed to meet the minimum stall dimensions, including drive aisles and back-up areas. Since the Applicant intends to sell the lots eventually, the project has been conditioned to record a reciprocal access and parking agreement. This ensures that visitors and patrons will be able park wherever they want on the site, and be able access between the parcels. The development standards table provides the detail on consistency and can be found in Attachment D. On-Site Vehicular Circulation and Access: The primary vehicular access for visitors and employees will occur from Catt Road with no access onto Clinton Keith Road. Given the proximity to the northbound I-15 freeway onramp, it was not feasible to provide direct access to Clinton Keith Road. The site has also been conditioned to construct public improvements along both Catt Road and Arya Hidden Springs and Clinton Keith Road. These improvements will provide safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation for
