VPC DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS:
Julianna Pierre provided information regarding the location of the site, surrounding 
zoning, and general plan land use designation.  She stated that the proposal is to 
rezone the site from C-2 M-R NBCOD, CP/GCP M-R PCD NBCOD, and CP/GCP M-R 
NBCOD to C-2 NBCOD to allow an automotive service facility.  She added that currently 
the site is subject to three zoning districts, three rezoning cases, and three sets of 
stipulations.  She stated that staff recommended the applicant rezone the entirety of the 
site, so they would only be subject to one rezoning case and one set of stipulations.   
Julianna Pierre stated that the development is proposed to have one building with eight 
service bays along the north façade.  She added that the site will have ingress and 
egress to North Valley Parkway and the unnamed street south of the site.  She stated 
that landscape setbacks will be provided along public street frontages.  Additionally,

recommending general conformance to the elevations because the south and west 
elevations did not include the same level of finish as the north and east elevations. 
 
Julianna Pierre reviewed the staff finding and stipulations.  She added that staff 
recommended approval, subject to stipulations.  She noted that staff had not received 
any community correspondence. 
 
Rajesh Gore, representative with RKAA Architects, emphasized that currently the 
majority of the site is zoned C-2, which permits the proposed use, but a portion of the 
proposed building would be on the CP/GCP zoned area of the site, which does not 
permit the use.  He stated that, per staff recommendation, they are rezoning the entirety 
of the site to C-2 and removing the M-R designation. 
 
Vice Chair Shannon Simon stated that she appreciated the layout of the site.  She 
stressed the importance of the enhanced landscaping and the service bays not facing 
the street or the residences across North Valley Parkway. 
 
Committee member Michelle Ricart asked for clarification regarding the type of auto 
service provided.  Greg Clark, owner of Greg Clark Automotive, stated that the location 
would only offer general repairs for vehicles of one ton or less.  He ensured that the 
shop will be kept clean and they intend to keep users happy with the services provided.
