DPZA ETAILEDROPOSAL AND ONINGNALYSIS 1 The applicants propose to redevelop the former Counrtyside Restaurant site into a new 276-seat 2 Pizza Lucé location. The proposed improvements include a new 6,840 square foot building with 3 screened patio and a 95-stall parking lot. The site plan and written narrative detailing the 4 proposal is included with this report as Attachment C. 5 City Code §1011.04 (Tree Preservation and Restoration in All Districts) requires all properties in 6 Roseville seeking development to obtain approval of a tree preservation and restoration plan 7 from the Community Development Department prior to the issuance of a grading or building 8 permit. The purpose of this requirement is to create a plan for preserving and replacing trees lost 9 as an outcome of a site development. The Code requires all trees 6 inches or greater to be 10 identified on a site plan, including diameter at breast height (DBH) and their species. Deciduous 11 trees greater than 27 inches and coniferous trees greater than 24 inches are considered heritage 12 trees and are treated differently in the replacement formula, while trees between 6 inches 24 13 inches (for coniferous trees) and 27 inches (for deciduous trees) are considered significant trees. 14 In the case of the Pizza Lucé site, there are 18 mature trees that remained from when the property 15 was first developed into the Countryside Restaurant in 1956. Most of these significant trees are 16 oaks and are grouped together in the north central portion of the site where the expanded parking 17 lot is planned to be developed. Of the 18 trees identified, the inventory provided indicates 14 18 good (13 significant and 1 heritage), 1 fair (significant), 1 dead/felled (heritage), and 2 poor 19 (significant) trees. Planning staff has inspected the trees and concurs with the inventory’s 20 assessment (Attachment D). 21 City Code §1011.03 (Landscaping and Screening in All Districts) requires properly sized and 22 placed islands in all parking lots with more than 25 parking stalls. Specifically, new or expanded 23 parking lots are required to install a 160 sq. ft., 5-foot-wide, island every 15 parking stalls, and 24 the island area is to be used for the installation of a canopy tree and other shrubbery. The 25 original proposal by Pizza Lucé included a 95-stall parking lot with 9 properly sized and located 26 islands throughout the site (Attachment E). 27 One of the steps in the building permit approval process includes the City Planner’s review of all 28 Zoning Code items affecting the development. During the Pizza Lucé review it was concluded 29 that a tree preservation and replacement plan had not been submitted. Pizza Lucé’s 30 representatives were notified and submitted the required plan. The following is the City 31 Planner’s assessment of the submitted tree preservation and replacement plan for the subject site: 32 The 16 significant trees total 320 DBH inches of which 35% (112 DBH inches) can be 33 removed without penalty, leaving 208 DBH inches. The replacement formula for significant 34 trees is the number of DBH inches multiplied by 0.5, which means Pizza Lucé must install 35 104 caliper inches. Similarly, the heritage tree that remains is 30 DBH inches of which 15% 36 (5 DBH inches) can be removed without penalty, leaving 25.5 DBH inches. The heritage 37 tree replacement formula is the number of DBH inches multiplied by 2.0, which means Pizza 38 Lucé must replace 51 caliper inches. The total replacement ratio has been determined to be 39 155 caliper inches or 52 3-inch trees. 40 PF15-001_RVBA_010715 Page 2 of 6
