referenced public hearing on July 24, 2002, including written and oral staff reports, together with
public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at 9649 Foothill Boulevard with a street
frontage of 185 feet and lot depth of 261 feet and which is presently improved with a fast food
drive-thru restaurant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site on the opposite site of Foothill
Boulevard is vacant; the property to the south, on the opposite site of a public alley, consists of
single-family houses; the property to the east is vacant; and the property to the west is developed
with a small shopping center; and
C. The application contemplates the demolition of an existing fast food restaurant of
3,325 square feet with a vehicle drive-thru lane that currently operates from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.,
and the construction of a 4,751 square foot fast food restaurant that will include an indoor play area

Page 2
Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. This
application has been submitted pursuant to that section; and
d. The existing restaurant has been operated by McDonald's Corporation in a
compatible manner with adjacent uses for over 20 years; and
e. The restaurant design incorporates architectural features that are similar to the
"Route 66" period theme of the surround area.
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 use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located by continuing the
retail commercial character of the Foothill Boulevard corridor and providing architectural treatment
that is complementary to the immediate area's historic buildings; and
b. 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, as evidence by the long-term compatible operation on the site by a
similarly designed and operated McDonald's restaurant; and
C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code, which allow for the expansion of non-conforming uses in the Foothill District
subject to Conditional Use Permit approval as provided in Section 17.32.030E.1; and
d. The demolition and expansion of the restaurant is not detrimental to the goals and
objectives of the Foothill Districts as evidenced by the successful and compatible use of the existing
restaurant and the incorporation of"Route 66" heritage style of architecture.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines
promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects have been
reduced to an acceptable level by imposition of mitigation measures on the project that are listed
below as conditions of approval.

proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources orthe habitat upon
which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated
