The Project consists of a Site Plan permit application for the expansion and remodeling of an existing commercial plaza. The Project is located at 4775 Via Belmonte in the Fallbrook Community Planning Area and Interstate 15 Design Review Corridor within unincorporated San Diego County. The Project site contains an existing market with attached businesses consisting of restaurants and personal services such as financial and insurance companies. The Project site also contains an existing hamburger restaurant as well as a parking lot. The existing market building with attached businesses will be remodeled with architectural changes resulting in an approximately 9,075 square foot structure. The existing hamburger restaurant will be retained. Additionally, a new gas station with 12 fueling stations and an approximately 4,980 square foot convenience store as well as two new approximately 6,000 square foot retail buildings are proposed. The existing parking lot will be expanded and re-designed to include a total of 134 parking spaces. The Project also includes proposed landscaping as well as signage for the commercial tenants of the site. Access to the site would be provided by two commercial driveways connecting to Old Highway 395. Water and Sewer service would be provided by the Rainbow Municipal Water District. The existing road on the northern portion of the Project site known as Via Belmonte will be widened with a half width improvement of 14 feet and a graded half width of twenty feet along the south side of Via Belmonte. The existing Project frontage along Old Highway 395 will be improved and include restriping of Old Highway 395 in order to accommodate a left-turn lane into the Project while retaining the two existing commercial driveway access points. The Project also includes a vacation and/or removal and re-dedication of road, drainage, and slope easements related to maintenance along Old Highway 395. Proposed earthwork quantities for the project consist of approximately 7,725 cubic yards of cut, 5,575 cubic yards of fill, and 2,150 cubic yards of export.

The project site is subject to the Semi-Rural Regional Category, Land Use Designation General Commercial (C-1). Zoning for the site is General Commercial (C36). The proposed uses are consistent with the Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation of the property. The site is also subject a “B” Special Area Designator for community design review which requires the processing of a Site Plan permit.
