🌟 Exciting news for the Visser Office-Warehouse Development at 2235 3rd Street! The Design Review Committee has recommended approving the project with conditions, finding it exempt from CEQA. Let’s dive into the details in this thread! #EurekaDevelopment #DesignReview

🏢 The project will feature a new 3,788 sq ft, two-story building with office and warehouse space on a 4,840 sq ft lot. The site was previously a single-family residence and shed, which burned down in June 2024. Now, a new development is on the horizon! #VisserOfficeWarehouse

🌳 The proposed project includes landscaped planters, parking spaces, and exterior design elements such as metal cladding, dark blue siding, and flat metal trim in soft white. The design aims to be harmonious with its surroundings on 3rd Street. #EurekaDesignReview

🏗 The development complies with City zoning regulations and design standards for the CS District, with setbacks, parking requirements, and exterior materials all meeting the necessary criteria. The project’s FAR is also within the limits set by zoning rules. #Compliance

🌿 While there are no landscaping requirements for the site, the Applicant is including two planter boxes with Western Redbud trees on 3rd Street. This touch of greenery adds a natural element to the industrial design of the building. #GreenSpace #UrbanDevelopment

🌍 Environmental impact assessments have deemed the project exempt from CEQA under Class 32 guidelines. The development is consistent with general plan policies, surrounded by urban uses, and promotes alternative transportation modes. #SustainableDevelopment

📝 Staff recommendation is to approve the project with conditions, believing it will enhance the value of properties in the vicinity and be a positive addition to the neighborhood. The resolution for approval is now awaiting final action by the Committee. #UrbanPlanning
