consistent with the General Plan even with the removal of Condition #13; and

Plan Designation and Zoning District for the project site. All existing conditions of approval will
remain effective and applicable to the project, with the exception of Condition #13 which has been
stricken; and
4. Pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was adopted and approved in 2017 as part of the original project approval and was
determined that the project would not have any significant impacts on the environment. The
request to modify a condition of approval will not result in any significant impacts or additional
impacts that weren't previous addressed by the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Therefore, no
further environmental review is required.

this Commission hereby recommends approval of the application to the City Council subject to
each and every condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated
