There are two offices, built in 1962, located at the south side of the property. One of the offices is used by the owner of the property, Ethan Ruch, and the other is the Etiwanda Post Office. These structures will be demolished; and once the project is completed, Ethan Ruch's office will move to the historic Cour House and the Etiwanda Post Office will relocate into one of the new buildings; and d. This application is in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17096, the subdivision of the subject parcel for condominium purposes, and Conditional Use Permit DRC2004-01094, as the proposed development is partially within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay;and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 05-31 DRC2004-00716—CECIL R. CARNEY ARCHITECTS April 27, 2005 Page 2 e. The subject property has a street frontage along Etiwanda Avenue of about 352 feet, a street frontage along (future) Candlewood Street of about 472 feet, and frontage along the 1-15 freeway of about 555 feet, with an overall width of about 470 feet and an overall depth of about 650 feet; and f. The properties to the north and west are in various phases of construction of single-family residences. The property to the south is an existing, legally non-conforming residence. To the southeast is the 1-15 freeway; and g. The property to the north is zoned Low Medium (LM) District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The property to the south is zoned Office/Professional (OP) District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The property to the west is zoned Mixed Use (MU) District, Victoria Planned Community; and h. The site has been disced for weed abatement and, therefore, vegetation on the subject site is limited. There is a windrow of Eucalyptus trees located off-site along the southeast property line shared with the 1-15 freeway; and i. Two points of vehicular access into the site will be provided from Etiwanda Avenue, and two points of vehicular access will be provided from Candlewood Street once it is completed. One of the access points off of Candlewood Street will be shared with the property at the southeast comer of Etiwanda Avenue and Candlewood Street. All points of access fulfill the Fire Department's standards for access; and 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced meeting, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds and concludes as follows: a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and Development Code; and b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code; and d. That the proposed design, 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. 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(CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; that said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 05-31 DRC2004-00716 —CECIL R. CARNEY ARCHITECTS April 27, 2005 Page 3 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 which are listed below as conditions of approval. C. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.
