District, respectively. The zoning of the properties to the south is General Industrial (GI) District
(Subarea 3); and
e. The applicant proposes to construct two,two-story office/professional buildings with
a combined floor area of approximately 27,000 square feet; and
f. A review and request for approval of land uses are not included in this application.
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 proposed project 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. The proposal is for
the construction of two (2) office buildings. The project site is designated as Office and the
anticipated land uses will be principally offices.
b. The proposed development,togetherwith 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 proposal is for the construction of two (2) office buildings. The
proposal does not include any land use or activity that will introduce significant airborne emissions,
significant noise impacts, or waste materials as part of its operations, introduce heavy truck traffic, or
alter existing circulation patterns. The proposal does not contemplate any review and action for land
use entitlements.
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposal is for the construction of two(2)office buildings. The project site
is zoned Office Professional and the anticipated land uses will be principally offices. The project will
comply with the design goals and policies described in the Development Code and the Technical
standards applicable to the zoning district including required parking, setbacks, and landscaping.
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 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301 - Infill Development Projects-as the project site is consistent with the General Plan
and zoning designations, applicable General Plan policies, and zoning regulations; the project site
has an overall area of less than 2.5 acres; the project site has no value as habitat for
environmentally sensitive species; would have no significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality; and the site will be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of
exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs 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 Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
