e. The zoning of the project site and all surrounding properties is General Industrial
(GI) District; and
f. The applicant proposes to construct an industrial building of 124,500 square feet;
and
g. The project is the second phase of a two-phase project. The first phase is located
on a parcel (APN: 0229-262-29) of approximately 274,000 square feet(6.3 acres)and consists of a
warehouse building of approximately 135,000 square feet and associated improvements that were
completed during the mid-1980s. The project site of the second phase is located immediately to the
south of the first phase; and
h. The second phase was originally reviewed and approved by the Planning
Commission on November 12, 2008 (Related file: Development Review DRC2008-00185).
Because of the downturn of the economy at around that time, no further, significant activity, i.e.
issuance of Construction/Grading Permits and commencement of construction/grading, on the
project occurred. On November 12, 2013, the approval of the project expired per Resolution of
Approval No. 08-66, Standard Condition B1, as Building Permits had not been issued or the
approved use had not commenced within 5 years from the date of approval; and
i. In April 2014, a new application was submitted to the City in orderto"re-entitle"the
project; and
j. The proposed building will be of concrete tilt-up construction. The basic layout of
the building will be typical for warehouse buildings. The offices areas will be located at the
southeast and southwest corners of the building. There will be a dock loading/storage area with
12 dock doors located on the north side of the building. These doors will face the doors of the
existing building to the north. The new and existing buildings will share a common loading area;
access to this area will be through shared drive aisles between the buildings; and
k. The parking requirement for the project, based on the proposed mix of office,
warehouse, and manufacturing floor areas in the proposed building, is 109 parking stalls;the project
will have 109 parking stalls. The trailer parking requirement, based on a ratio of one stall per dock
door, is 12 parking stalls; the project will have 12 parking stalls; and
I. The proposed building will have a floor area of 120,640 square feet and the project
site has an area of approximately 240,000 square feet. The calculated FAR for the project will be
approximately 50.2 percent. Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-2 Land Use Plan of the General Plan, the
maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Industrial (GI) land use category is 60 percent; and
m. The current project is substantially the same as the original project that was
approved in November 2008; and
n. 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 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:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 14-32

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 to
construct an industrial building of 124,500 square feet. The underlying General Plan designation is
General Industrial.
b. The proposed project, 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 potential land uses that would be associated with this project are
consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the
community. The zoning of the subject property and all surrounding properties is General Industrial
(GI) 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 including building and parking setbacks, average landscape depth, floor area ratio, parking,
dock and storage area screening, landscape coverage, site planning, and architecture.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment forthe application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on November 12, 2008, in
connection with the City's approval of Development Review DRC2008-00185 for an industrial
building of approximately 125,000 square feet. 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 unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the
project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have
occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or
more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have
more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now
feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce
impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the current proposed project to
construct an industrial building of 124,500 square feet,that substantial changes to the project or the
circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe
impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Development Review
DRC2008-00185 was originally reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on
November 12, 2008. On November 12, 2013, the approval of the project expired as
Building Permits had not been issued or the approved use had not commenced within 5 years from
the date of approval. In April 2014, the current subject application was submitted; the proposed
project is substantially the same as the previously approved project. The Planning Commission
further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous Mitigated 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. The project will not have a significant increase in traffic
based upon a trip generation/distribution analysis prepared by Arch Beach Consulting on June 5,

2014; there will not be a significant impact on biological resources (specifically the Delhi Sand
flower-loving fly) according to a habitat suitability evaluation prepared by Ecological Sciences, Inc.
on April 25, 2014; and, there will not be a significant impact on air quality according to an air quality
analysis prepared by Vista Environmental on June 13, 2014. The Addendum to the Mitigated
Negative Declaration does not include any additional mitigations.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2014-00378 and
adopts an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts that was
adopted by the Planning Commission on November 12, 2008.
