Page 2
been installed along the north and east property lines, along the Arrow Route and HickoryAvenue
No other structures have been approved or constructed at the project site.
e. The applicant, Sunset Vista Designs Company, Inc., is proposing to construct a
33,067 square -foot industrial warehousing building on the project site. The building consists of
30,522 square feet of warehousing space and 2,545 square feet of office space. Two access points
will be provided to the property, one at Arrow Route at the northwest corner of the property and one
at Hickory Avenue at the southeast corner of the property. A single driveway will connect both
egress points to provide circulation through the site and access to parking and two loading docks;
and
f. Parking, truck storage and walkway areas extend from the driveway and wrap
around the west and south side of the building. A total of 38 parking spaces are provided to meet
the minimum parking requirements. The project also includes two truck -well areas near the loading
docks for large truck/trailer parking; and
g. Overall, the project site complies with the applicable Development Standards for
the General Industrial (GI) District. The proposed warehouse building maintains a 47 foot setback
from Arrow Route and a 28 foot setback from Hickory Avenue. The minimum setback from Arrow
Route and Hickory Avenue are 45 feet and 25 feet, respectively. The warehouse building also
maintains a 65 foot setback along the interior side (west) property line and a 35 feet setback along
the rear property line. The minimum interior side property line setback is 5 feet. There is no minimum
rear yard setback. The maximum height of the proposed warehouse facility is 39 feet. Highest point
of the facility is located four (4) feet behind the front setback line. The building conforms with the
height limit of the General Industrial (GI) District, which permits a maximum height of 39 feet when
located 4 feet back from the setback line; and
h. The proposed industrial building meets the City's 360-degree design standards.
The building fagades incorporate a variety of materials, including concrete, metal cladding, and
vision and spandrel glass. Architectural articulation and material breaks are used throughout the
fagade to break up the building's massing, and the use of metal cladding helps emphasize the tower
elements of the building. Additional architectural features, such as windows and decorative
canopies, will be incorporated throughout each elevation to create visual interest on the building and
reduce the amount of blank walls; and
i. The project also complies with the City's landscape standards. Site landscape
coverage exceeds the minimum requirement of 10% and includes an overall depth of 47 feet along
Arrow Route and 28 feet along the Hickory Avenue. The landscaping palette includes a variety of
trees, shrubs, and ground coverto help screen mechanical equipment and enhance the appearance
of the building. The project will also incorporate a 510 square foot employee break area as required
by the Development Code for new industrial buildings.
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. The site
is located within land designated as General Industrial. The General Industrial designation permits a
wide range of industrial activities that include warehousing and office uses. The project consists of a
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-66
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00946 — Sunset Vista Designs Company, Inc
October 23, 2019
Page 3
33,067 square foot industrial building, including 2,545 square foot dedicated to office space, on 1.67
acre of land. The warehouse building is designed for wholesale warehousing with ancillary office
uses. All site improvements, including parking and landscaped areas, are designed to be consistent
with the warehousing use and are consistent with the General Industrial land use as designated in
the General Plan.
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. The Development Code designates the
project site as a General Industrial (GI) District. The potential industrial and warehousing land uses
that would be associated with this project are consistent with the General Industrial (GI) District. The
project site is adjacent to other sites in the General Industrial (GI) District, including an industrial
warehouse building of similar size and scale to the south of the project site. The project site has a
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.50 and within the 0.50 to 0.60 FAR range permitted in the General
Industrial (GI) District.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code. The facility is designed for industrial warehouse operations with ancillary
office space to support the main warehousing use. The facility meets all setbacks, floor area and
height requirements. The facility has also been designed to meet the City's architectural standards.
The facility will also comply with all parking, access and landscaping requirements. Therefore, the
project meets all applicable provisions of the Development Code.
4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines.
The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332— In -Fill
Development Projects, as the project is a proposed development occurring within city limits on a
project site less than five acres in size and substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project is a
33,067 square foot warehouse building located on 1.67 acres of land within the General Industrial
(GI) District. The warehouse use is consistent with the intent of the General Industrial (GI)
designation in the General Plan and project meets all applicable development standards and zoning
regulations of the Development Code. The warehouse building is similar in scale and is consistent
with industrial buildings in the nearby vicinity. The site can be adequately served all required utilities
and police and fire services.
A number of environmental studies were prepared to assess any potential impacts that the project
might have on the environment. A Biological Site Assessment (Griffith Wildlife Biology, June 30,
2019) found that the project site's habitat consisted of non-native plant species and did not support
native coastal sage scrubs. The Assessment also determined that there were no riparian orwetland
habitats that would support sensitive, threatened or endangered species, including the endangered
Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly. An Air Quality & Greenhouse Gas Analysis (Enviroassessors, Inc.,
February 2019) conducted found that the project would not exceed the applicable Southern
California Air Quality Management District's threshold for air quality and greenhouse gas emissions
during construction or operational activity. A Trip Generation Memorandum (Ganddini Group, May
2019) forecasted 73 passenger car equivalent (PCE) daily trips, including 5 PCE trips during the AM
peak hour and 8 PCE trips during the PM peak hour. The Memorandum concluded that there are no
apparent safety or operational concerns with implementation of the project. An Industrial Noise
Study (Acoustics Group, Inc., July 2019) concluded that the project's noise contribution to adjacent
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-66
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00946 — Sunset Vista Designs Company, Inc

Page 4
roadways would be less than significant and that the on -site operation noises levels will be less than
the City's 80 dBA maximum noise level standards for industrial use. A Conceptual Water Quality
Management Plan was submitted and reviewed by the City's grading engineer. The City's grading
engineer approved the conceptual design and will review the final design when grading plans are
submitted. Therefore, staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth Paragraphs 1,2,3 and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the applications subject to each and every condition in the
attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
