project is a casual sit-down restaurant with an overall floor area of 9,396 square feet with a bar of
about 400 square feet and an outdoor dining area of 978 square feet. The underlying General Plan
designation is an Industrial Park (IP) District.

C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The proposed development meets all standards outlined in the Development
Code and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the
City.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adapted a Negative Declaration in September 2005 in connection with the City's
approval of Development Review DRC2004-01013. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162,
no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with
subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project. No substantial changes are proposed to
the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; no substantial changes
have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates
new or more severe environmental impacts; no new important information shows the project will
have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; and no additional mitigation
measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to
substantially reduce impacts. There have been no substantial changes to the project or the
circumstances surrounding the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those
evaluated in the previous Negative Declaration. The overall master plan for the shopping center
contemplated a restaurant at the same location of the proposed subject restaurant. Improvements
such as parking, lighting, and landscaping in the general area around the site are complete parking
calculation. There are no revisions proposed beyond the limits of the area of work. Staff further
finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
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.
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.
