in a property located within the Mixed Use (MU) District, with a General Plan Designation of Mixed
Use. The proposed Residential Care Facility is consistent with the intent of the Zoning District and
the General Plan Designation, as it provides housing and care for senior residents within the City.
The facility is designed in accordance with all applicable development standards of the
Development Code such as building setbacks, building height, and parking.
b. The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed
use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and can be conditioned to

complies with all standards within the Development Code and environmental studies were

reviewed in order to evaluate the impacts on the surrounding neighboring properties. The
proposed development will have more parking spaces than required and the vehicle access has
been designed to minimize impacts on the neighboring residential community to the west. This
use is physically suited for this site and will improve the area by providing residential housing
options for the community.
C. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the
vicinity in which the project is located. 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 property and the property to the west is Mixed Use (MU)
District. The property to the north is Low (L) Residential District and the property to the south is
Industrial Park (IP) and Flood Control (FC). The property to the east is Office Park (OPK) District,
Terra Vista Planned Community (TVPC) and Flood Control (FC) District. The proposed
development has been designed and conditioned to limit negative impacts on the residential
neighbors to the west as well as the other surrounding areas. The proposed use will be compatible
with the neighboring land uses and will provide additional residential housing options for the
community.
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 Project) because the project involves the construction of
development within City limits on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
Additionally, approval of the project would not result in any significant effect relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality. Lastly, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities
and public services and the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and
all applicable General Plan polices as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning staff determination of exemption, and
based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs 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 each and every condition set forth in
the attached standard conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 10TH DAY OF APRIL 2019.
