The applicant proposes to construct eight buildings: two 2-story buildings (Buildings 6 and 7) and six single-story buildings (Buildings 1 A/1 B through 5). The combined floor area of all eight buildings will be about 88,000 square feet; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 07-15 DRC2006-00438— MICHAEL CHAT March 28, 2007 Page 2 d. The application contemplates administrative/professional offices, medical/health offices, restaurants (including fast food), and a bank. These are permitted, or conditionally permitted, land uses along Foothill Boulevard, which is one of the City's primary east to west arterial streets and a significant commercial corridor; and e. The proposed development is in conjunction with a tentative parcel map (Related file: SUBTPM18046) to subdivide the property into seven parcels. 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 development 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; and b,. The proposed development,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; and C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 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. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and b. • The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the'whole record before it,finds: (i)that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and c. ' The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 07-15 DRC2006-00438— MICHAEL CHAI March 28, 2007 Page 3 d.
