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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan because
it provides another service to an existing use within the commercial center that creates a wider
range of community-oriented and regionally oriented businesses; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the District in which the site is located because the project is compatible with the
existing center and gas station through the use of compatible building materials and design; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code because the project complies with the established designed standards of the
Development Code such as setback, landscaping, and parking requirements; and
d. 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 because the project has been designed with the complete center in
mind and will compliment the rest of the center with complimentary building materials, style, and
placement.
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 under the Class 1exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301(e)(1) (Addition to Existing Structures) because this project is only 756 square feet
and located in an area that contains all public services and facilities to allow for maximum
development, and 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,
