3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan designation, Neo-Industrial
Employment (NI) District, which encourages low industrial uses with minimal impact and to support
the growth of creative and new businesses. The site is developed with an existing industrial/office
complex. A large indoor fitness and sports facility will have minimal impact on adjacent uses and
properties and authorizing the use will support the growth of a new business. The proposed used is
consistent with the general plan.
b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and
purposes of the applicable zone as well as any applicable specific plans or city regulations and
standards. A large indoor fitness and sports facility is allowed in the Neo-Industrial (NI) Zone upon
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The use is consistent with the zoning designation and
development code in that the use does not propose any expansions or modifications which will not
result in any new development and remains consistent with its current development pattern. The
Development Code does not have specific regulations or standards to apply to the operations of a
large indoor fitness and sports facility. The site is not subject to any specific plans.
C. The site is suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use. The site
is improved with an existing industrial/office complex including access and circulation, parking,
structures, utilities, and landscaping. No changes are proposed to the site except for associated
tenant improvements and signage which may be proposed under a separate permit. The proposed
use is similar in intensity to existing uses in the immediate surrounding area. No additional physical
constraints have been added that may impede the operation of the existing tenants nor the
proposed tenant. Therefore, the project site is well -suited for the proposed use.
d. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use would
be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and
service facilities. The indoor fitness and sports facility will operate completely within an existing
tenant space and is compatible with adjacent uses in that the operating hours will not conflict with
operating hours of adjacent similar uses and the intensity of the use is not expected to exceed
similar use of the site beyond adjacent similar uses.
e. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity
in which the project is located. The scale and operation of the use is similar to adjacent uses and
will not negatively impact the normal operations of any of these surrounding uses. The proposed
use has been conditioned to meet performance criteria, safety standards, maintenance standards
and all other Municipal Code standards to mitigate any potential impact related to the indoor fitness
and sports facility.
f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on city services, including police,
fire, streets, and other public utilities, such that the city is unable to maintain its current level of
service due to the use. The use does not pose any undue burdens in that it will occupy an existing
tenant space which will not require additional service from streets and utilities. The use does not
authorize any operations which may result in additional service requests from Fire or Police that are
not normally associated with similar existing uses.

4. The Planning and Economic Development Department staff has determined that the
project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301
- Existing Facilities Projects which includes leasing of existing private structures and facilities. The
Conditional Use Permit will authorize the use of a fitness and sports facility within an existing
structure.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation for the project site are Neo-Industrial
Employment District and Neo-Industrial zone, respectively, which permits the operation of an indoor
fitness and sports facility of the proposed size and configuration. The project complies with the
City's development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and
design requirements. The project site is located within the City limits and is surrounded by existing
industrial development and City infrastructure.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning and Economic Development Department's
determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgement, concurs in the staff
determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
