a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan because
it provides another use within the commercial center that creates a wide range of community-
oriented and regionally oriented businesses; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located because the project is compatible with the
existing center through use of compatible building materials and design; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code because the project complies with established designed standards of the
Development Code such as setback, landscaping, and parking requirements; 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 the vicinity because the project has been designed with the complete center in
mind and will complement the rest of the center with complementary building materials.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in January 24, 2007 in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Parcel Map. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with
subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are
proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii)substantial
changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that
indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the
project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered;or(iv)additional mitigation
measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to
substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Development Review
application DRC2011-00560, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances
surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than
those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The original submittal considered
impacts associated with a retail center and the current proposal is for that type of use. Staff further
finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that
additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a
level of less than significant.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the Design Review application DRC2011-
00560.
