PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-10 DRC2022-00450 BIANE FAMILY PROPERTIES MARCH 13, 2024 Page 2 and Facilities South Industrial Industrial Employment Industrial Employment IE East Industrial Neo Industrial Neo Industrial (NI) Employment District West Light Industrial Neo Industrial Neo Industrial (NI) Employment District 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 use is consistent with the general plan designation, Neo-Industrial (NI) Employment District, which encourages light industrial uses with minimal impact and to support the growth of creative and new businesses. The site is developed with existing industrial, commercial, light industrial, and residential buildings, as well as parking and landscaping. A personal self -storage facillity will have minimal impact on adjacent uses and properties as the conditional use permit will support the continued growth of an existing business center. The operations of the facility will take place indoors and the loading and unloading of units will take place within the designated areas at the rear of the building. The use is consistent with the general plan. b. The 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 personal self -storage 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 of the building which will 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 personal self -storage facility however, included conditions of approval mitigate any potential impacts by prohibiting any alterations not consistent with those described in the Cultural Impacts Assessment conducted by LSA, dated November 2023. The site is not subject to any specific plans. C. The site is suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use. The site is improved with an existing industrial, commercial, light industrial, and residential buildings including access and circulation, parking, structures, utilities, and landscaping. No changes are proposed to the site except for associated tenant improvements, minor exterior alterations, additional parking striping and signage which may be proposed under a separate permit. The 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 surrounding land use nor the proposed land use. Therefore, the project site is well -suited for the use. d. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the use would be compatible with the existing and other permitted uses in the vicinity including transportation and service facilities. The personal self -storage facility will operate within an existing building and will not operate beyond the project parcel nor onto the property of adjacent similar uses. The intensity of the use is not expected to exceed the intensity of 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 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 24-10 DRC2022-00450 BIANE FAMILY PROPERTIES MARCH 13, 2024 Page 3 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 the surrounding uses. The 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 personal self -storage facility. f. The 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 adjacent 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 the permitting and minor alteration of private structures. The Conditional Use Permit will authorize the use of a personal self -storage 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 conditionally permits the operation of a personal self -storage 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 on three sides by existing light industrial and industrial uses 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.
