Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on May 14, 2008, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a parcel of land located at 9212 Hermosa Avenue with an overall area of about 212,137 square feet(4.87 acres), and a street frontage along 6th Street of about 338 feet and a street frontage along Hermosa Avenue of about 627 feet; and b. To the north is a large warehouse distribution building of about 400,000 square feet and to the west is an office complex consisting of four 20,000 square foot buildings. Across the streets to the south and east, respectively, is a large warehouse distribution building of about 400,000 square feet and an office/warehouse complex consisting of six buildings of various sizes; and C. The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into two (2) parcels of 2 acres and 2.77 acres (Parcels 1 and 2, respectively); and d.

The proposed tentative parcel map 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. The proposed project is to construct an industrial building and is consistent with development in the vicinity. b. The proposed tentative parcel map,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. The surrounding properties are zoned industrial and the surrounding uses are industrial-oriented. C. The proposed tentative parcel map complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed development meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 Minor Land Divisions as the project proposes the subdivision of one parcel into two parcels and Section 15332, Class 32, In-Fill Development Projects as the project site is surrounded on all sides by existing industrial development. In addition, 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. 5.
