PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 08-62 DRC2006-00926 —WLC ARCHITECTS October 22, 2008 Page 2 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 in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and b. 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; and C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on April 24, 2002, in connection with the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439 for the approval of the initial project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent or discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or(iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff has evaluated Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926 and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred,which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. In that the applicant is currently proposing a less intense project by consolidating the initial Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall buildings into a smaller single structure that reduces the building height,square footage, and building mass by eliminating approximately 1,900 square feet. In the initial proposal these two functions (i.e., the Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall)were provided in separate buildings on two levels. In the revised proposal the buildings are combined into a single Multi-Purpose Hall that would be located on a lower mid plaza level. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. Therefore, the Planning Department has determined that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination that no additional environmental review is required, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination. 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 Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department 1) All conditions (including Standard Conditions) set for Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00439 (Planning Commission Resolution 02-43)shall pertain to this project.
