d. The project proposes the development of a .47-acre parcel with a 4,994 square
building. The building will include an automotive servicing area that will accommodate a maximum of
8 vehicles, a tire storage room, as well as a sales and waiting area. The dimensions of the building
footprint will be approximately 150 feet wide by 36 feet deep; and
e. The architecture of the building will generally match the established theme
throughout the shopping center and will incorporate stucco coated walls, concrete S-tile roof on the
tower at the south end of the building, EI Dorado stone veneer placed on the columns at various
locations of the building, a wood decorative awning, clear anodized aluminum storefront ,and metal
roll up doors to provide access to the service bays. The building will have a maximum height of

the site will contain sufficient parking. Furthermore, although the proposed development will require
the removal of 66 parking spaces throughout the shopping center, 936 overall parking spaces will be
provided, 174 of which are surplus parking spaces.
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:

project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, which encourages in-fill commercial
development is encouraged. The General Plan states that attention to the design of infill
development is essential to ensure that the new development fits in with the established physical
context and gains acceptance from the surrounding neighborhoods. This project fits with the
established character of the built environment; 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. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding
shopping center; and
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. In addition to the installation of a 4,994 square foot building, the site will contain
sufficient landscaping and parking.
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 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) because as the project is consistent with the applicable
General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with applicable zoning
designation and regulations, the proposed development occurs within City limits on a project site of
