e. The proposed project meets or exceeds all Development Code standards. As
conditioned, the proposed warehouse building will meet all applicable General Industrial (GI)
District Development Code standards for industrial development.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting 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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
The proposal is to develop a 102,530 square foot industrial building in the General Plan General
Industrial land use designation; and
b. The proposed development is compatible with the existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area. The potential land uses that would be associated with this project
are consistent with the existing land uses in the vicinity where the project is located and the
expectations of the community. The zoning of the property and all properties surrounding the
subject property is the General Industrial (GI) District; and
c. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code. The proposed development complies with all development standards
outlined in the Development Code including building and parking setbacks, landscaping depth,
parking, landscape coverage, site planning, and architecture; 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. The potential land uses that would be associated with this project
are consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the
community. The zoning of the property and all properties surrounding the subject property is the
General Industrial (GI) District.
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 under the Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Project) because the project involves the construction of
development within city limits on no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
