Title
Conceptual Landscape Plan for a Proposed Restaurant Building (MC25-0043)
Body
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Ulises Gomez, the applicant, proposes to develop a 2,520 square-foot restaurant building with drive-thru service on 0.87 acres of land (APN: 0264-213-51) located at the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Cactus Avenue within the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) land use district of the Rialto Airport Specific Plan.
As part of their development application, the applicant provided a Conceptual Landscape Plan that demonstrates the type, quantities, sizes, and spacing of planting materials that will be installed on the site as part of the project.
Landscape features shown on the Conceptual Landscape Plan include:
• 13,300 square feet of landscaping
• 35.1% landscape coverage (10% minimum required)
• Twenty (20) trees
• 15-gallon tree sizes (24-inch box size required along street frontages)
• Abundant number of shrubs, groundcover vegetation, and turf in all planters
• Decorative pavers at driveway entrance
According to Section 2.27.050B(11) of the Rialto Municipal Code, the Neighborhood Beautification & Historic Preservation Commission (NBHPC) is tasked with reviewing conceptual landscape plans for proposed commercial developments. The Commission’s role is advisory in nature. Comments and feedback from the Commission will be gathered by staff, incorporated into the design of the project, and ultimately presented to the Planning Commission for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the NBHPC review the Conceptual Landscape Plan and provide any comments.
