This in -lieu fee shall be paid at the time of building permit issuance.
As an alternative to the requirement to pay the in -lieu fee in full at the time of
building permit issuance, the developer may pay the in -lieu fee in the amount
in effect at the time of issuance of building permit in five equal installments
(20% of the amount due each) commencing with the first installment being due
at the time of building permit issuance and the remaining four installments due
on the first anniversary following the issuance of building permit and thereafter
annually on said anniversary date. The City reserves the right to place a hold
on building permits and file a Notice of Pendency against the property upon
failure to pay installments according to this schedule. Such hold and Notice
shall remain in effect until all past due amounts have been paid.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced meeting 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 General Plan; 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; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; 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.
4. Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies under the Class 1
exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301- Existing Facilities, which covers minor
alterations to existing structures involving negligible expansion of use beyond that existing at the
time of the lead agencies determination, and the proposed addition will not result in the addition
of more than 2,500 square feet of floor area. In addition, 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 staff's determination of exemption.
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 the Standard Conditions, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
