d. The subject tentative map is related to Design Review DRC2022-00156 and
Conditional Use Permit DRC2023-00142 for the construction and operation of an 86,194-square-
foot warehouse/distribution building; and
e. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20642 is forthe consolidation ofthe 5.2 project site
into one parcel of land.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced meeting 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 tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans. The proposed tentative map will consolidate 5 parcels totaling 5.2
acres of land into one parcel for the development of an 86,392-square-foot industrial building and is
consistent with the Neo Industrial Employment District General Plan land use designation and the
Neo Industrial (NI) zoning designation, which both permit the development of industrial buildings.
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map will be consistentwith the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The proposed tentative parcel
map complies with the requirements of the General Plan and Development Code including lot
dimensions and lot area as outlined in Development Code Table 17.36.040-1 of the Development
Code. Additionally, the related industrial building approved on the site complies with all of the
related development standards including building setbacks, lot coverage, height, parking, and
design; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project
site is well suited for the proposed industrial building as it is located in an industrial zone and is
surrounded by industrial development; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The original project included an
environmental review which demonstrated that the project would not have a significant impact on
the environment; and
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
subdivision of the project site is not expected to cause serious public health issues, as the proposed
tentative parcel map is for the consolidation of 5 parcels of land into 1 parcel for the development of
an industrial building. The original project included environmental studies which demonstrated that
the project would not have a significant impact on the environment; and

f. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflictwith any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. The subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or use
of the project site.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 5 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15315 — Minor Land Divisions. The project is for the consolidation of 5 parcels of land totaling 5.2
acres into 1 parcel of land. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment.
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 in
the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
