b. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Development Code
which allows selected uses to be allowed only subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit,
because of their unique operating characteristics, which require special consideration in order to
operate in a manner compatible with surrounding uses; and
C. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity as the use will only be
allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit process will allow
for the public review and evaluation of the requirement and characteristics of the use to provide
adequate mitigation of any potentially adverse impacts. It will also ensure all regulations and
performance standards associated to this project will be in accordance with the Development Code
and any other documents governing this project; and
d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives the Development Code as
the use is allowed in similar districts within the City; and
e. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan as the

the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under Section 15061(b)(3)of the State CEQA Guidelines because

own independent judgment, concurs in the staff's determination of exemption.
