d. The proposed project consists of the construction of a 159,580 square -foot
warehouse/distribution building and ancillary on -site improvements; and
e. The project complies with all pertinent development standards related to building
height, site coverage, front/rear setbacks, parking; and
f. The project complies with the landscaping requirements as prescribed in the
Development Code; and
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 project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan. The site is
located within land designated as Neo Industrial Employment, which permits primarily light
industrial and low impact uses such as incubator spaces and small warehouses that are context
sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood. The project consists of a 159,580 square -foot
warehouse/distribution building surrounded by existing industrial uses. All site improvements,
including parking and landscaped areas, are designed to be consistent with the
warehouse/distribution use and are consistent with the Industrial Employment land use as
designated in the General Plan.
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. The Development Code designates the project
site as an Industrial Employment (IE) District. The proposed warehouse/distribution building for
the site is consistent with the land use intent of the Industrial Employment (IE) District. The zoning
of the adjacent sites to the property are within the Industrial Employment (IE) District and Neo
Industrial (NI) District and consist mainly of industrial buildings. The overall design of the new
building is similar in scale and intensity to neighboring lots. The height of the proposed building is
45 feet and does not exceed the maximum height allowed for other industrial buildings in the
Industrial Employment (IE) District. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the entire site at buildout is 0.5
and will be generally consistent with other industrial properties in the area.
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The building is designed for warehouse/distribution operations. The building
meets all setbacks, floor area ratio, height, and landscaping requirements. The building has been
designed to meet the City's architectural standards. The project meets the minimum parking,
loading, and access requirements.

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 site is surrounded by industrial/warehouse facilities of a similar
scale and intensity. Furthermore, the proposed building is substantially surrounded by existing
buildings. Operations on the site are expected to meet all Development Code standards regarding
noise and odor.
4. The Project was environmentally reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines. The City
determined that an EIR would be required for the Project, and therefore prepared an
environmental impact report (EIR) that focused on the potentially significant effects of the Project.
By separate Resolution No. 22-001, the Planning Commission has: (i) made the required CEQA
findings and determinations, (ii) certified the Final EIR; and (iii) adopted a Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program for the Project. Resolution No. 22-001 is incorporated herein by
reference, and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The documents and other materials
that constitute the record on which this determination was made are located in the Planning
Department and are in the custody of the Planning Director. Further, the mitigation measures set
forth therein are made applicable to the Project.
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 each and every condition set forth in
the attached Conditions of Approval.
