3. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Design
Review DRC2025-00320 as a part of the application and makes the following findings pursuant
to the Development Code Section 17.20.040 in support of the recommendation:
a. The proposed development is in accord with the General Plan. The General
Plan land use designation is Neo-Industrial Employment District, which is intended for light
industrial uses with low environmental impacts in modern, smaller size and scale buildings. The
proposed project is to develop a modernly designed warehouse building that is less than 100,000
square feet and has been evaluated to have less than significant environmental impacts in regard
to biological resources, traffic, noise, air, or water quality; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is within the Neo-Industrial
zone which is intended for small scale, context sensitive warehousing and distribution. The
proposed project will be developed to support warehousing and distribution within an existing
industrial area; and
c. The proposed project is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions and
development standards of the Development Code. The project complies with the requirements of
the Development Code including, but not limited to, building height, floor area ratio, building
footprint, setbacks, and open space; and
d. The proposed project, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The project has been evaluated for impacts to biological resources,
traffic, noise, air, and water quality and has been found to not produce significant impacts.
Additionally, the development will be subject to the industrial performance standards outlined in
Chapter 17.66 of the Development Code in order to prevent impacts to adjacent sites.
4. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve
Conditional Use Permit DRC2025-00323 as part of the application and makes the following
findings pursuant to the Development Code Section 17.20.060 in support of the
recommendation:

a. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan. The General
Plan land use designation is Neo-Industrial Employment District, which is intended for light
industrial uses with low environmental impacts in modern, smaller size and scale buildings. The
proposed project is to develop a modernly designed warehouse building that is less than 100,000
square feet and has been evaluated to have less than significant environmental impacts in regard
to biological resources, traffic, noise, air, or water quality; and
b. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Development Code and
the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is within the Neo-Industrial
zone which is intended for small scale, context sensitive warehousing and distribution. The
proposed project will be developed to support warehousing and distribution within an existing
industrial area; and
c. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use being
proposed including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints that would make
conduct of the use undesirable. The project site is well suited for the proposed warehouse building
as it meets current site, building, and clean energy standards, is bordered by sites similarly zoned
for industrial development of similar intensity and scale, and will put in place necessary offsite
improvements such that access to the site and sufficient utilities are provided; and
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 project site is bound by existing industrial developments
to the north, south, east, and west and is generally located within a longtime established industrial
area of the City. The proposed use complies with the applicable provisions of the Development
Code, will be required to comply with performance standards, and the size and design of proposed
project would be both compatible and complementary to the existing and future uses in the vicinity;
and
e. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious to or
detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to
persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. The
proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as
the proposed project complies with all applicable development standards, is located in an existing
industrial area, has been evaluated to not cause significant impacts to biological resources, traffic,
noise, air, or water quality, and will be required to comply with the performance standards specific
to industrial uses outlined in Chapter 17.66 of the Development Code; and
f. The proposed use will not pose an undue burden on the 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 area is already adequately served by existing fire stations,
and no new or altered facilities would be needed to serve the allowed land uses with the area. As
presented, the Project related impacts to public services including fire, police, schools, libraries,
and parks, would be less than significant with conformance to General Plan policies. Furthermore,
the proposed project would pay all applicable development fees associated with fire protection
services and would comply with all regulations governing fire prevention and safety, such as those
established in the California Building Code, California Fire Code, California Health and Safety
Code, and California Occupational Safety and Health Regulation, thus reducing demand for

RCFPD services. Therefore, Project impacts related to public services are less than significant;
and
g. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It was determined that the project was categorically exempt
from CEQA under Section 15332 — Infill Development Projects. A Class 32 Exemption report was
prepared to determine that significant impacts would not be generated to biological resources,
traffic, noise, air, or water quality.
5. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council make the
following environmental findings and determinations in connection with approval of the
application:
a. The Planning Department staff 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 32 Exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 — Infill Development Projects, which includes infill development projects that are
1) consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and polices as well as applicable
zoning designation regulations, 2) are developed within City limits on a site of no more than five
acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, 3) the site has no value as a habitat for
endangered, rare, or threatened species, 4) approval of the project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air, or water quality, and 5) the site can adequately be
served by all required utilities and public services; and
b. A CEQA Section 15332 Exemption report (May 2023) was prepared by Dudek,
an environmental consulting firm retained by the City. Staff thoroughly reviewed the exemption
documentation and concluded that the proposed project would not result in significant
environmental impacts, including those related to the biological resources, traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality. The following support each of the corresponding findings for the Class
32 Exemption:
1) The General Plan Land Use and Zoning designations for the project site
are Neo-Industrial Employment District and Neo-Industrial (NI),
respectively. The General Plan designation is intended for light industrial
uses within small, modern warehouses that generate minimal impacts to
adjacent properties. The project complies with the City's development
standards and design criteria for the Neo-Industrial zone as well,
including, but not limited to setbacks, height, floor area ratio, and open
space. The development and operation of a warehouse/distribution
facility of the proposed size and configuration is complaint with the land
use designations for the site.
2) Although the subject site is 5.2 acres and exceeds the five -acre threshold
for the Class 32 Exemption, only 4.1 acres of the site will be developed
as a 1.1 -acre easement is present on the site and would not allow for any
type of development or improvements to occur. Due to the inability to
develop this portion of the property, it is not considered in the total
acreage of the site for CEQA purposes. The site is also surrounded on
all sides with similar industrial development and existing infrastructure,
surrounding it with urbanized uses.
3) As the project site is proposed for a site that is surrounded by other
industrial developments and is located within an urbanized area, existing
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2026-011
DRC2025-00320 and DRC2025-00323 — Patriot Partners Whittram
April 22, 2026
Page 5
vegetation and animal species on the site are limited. The project site has
not been found to have a significant value as a habitat for endangered,
rare, or threatened species.
4) The technical studies performed for the Class 32 Exemption supported
the exemption by confirming that there would not be significant effects to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality as a result of the proposed
project.
5) The project site can be adequately served by all required utilities and
public services as it will be located within a developed portion of the City
that already has significant infrastructure in place to support further
development. Improvements will be made offsite and to the site to further
accommodate utilities and public services for the project area; and
c. Although the Class 32 Exemption was prepared for the now expired entitlements,
Design Review DRC2022-00156 and Conditional Use Permit DRC2023-00142, the current
entitlements propose an identical project to the previously reviewed entitlements for which the
Class 32 Exemption was supported. The current applications do not include any alterations to site
size, building square footage, building footprint, circulation, or surrounding environmental
conditions. As such, the City has determined that the project continues to meet all criteria for the
Class 32 Exemption. No further environmental review is required as the existing exemption report
prepared by Dudek captures the current entitlements and sufficiently evaluates the project.
6. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the application
subject to each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference.
7. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
