b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. Commercial office uses are permitted uses within the
Industrial Park (IP) District; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The project complies with each of the development criteria outlined in the
Development Code including building setbacks, parking and design; 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

as it is of similar size and intensity to the surrounding commercial buildings.

for the construction of 13,116 square foot, two-story commercial office building and 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.
