e. The operating hours of the restaurant are from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Monday

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. That the conduct of the establishment and the granting of the application would
not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals or welfare; and
b. That the premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an illegal,
improper or disorderly manner; and
c. That granting the application would not create a public nuisance; and
d. That the normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the peace and
quiet of the surrounding commercial center and adjacent apartment complex; and
e. That the applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement
of material fact in the required application.
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 as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301 —Existing Facilities—which covers the permitting of existing structures that involve
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's original
determination. The project consists of allowing for live entertainment that does not require an
expansion or significant change to the existing pad building. Staff finds that 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,
this Commission hereby approves the application, subject to the attached conditions of approval
and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
