FINDINGS:
1. The requested use is not properly related to the site, surroundings, 01
environmental settings as it aggravates the observed poor circulation within thc
parking lot and increases the possibility of queuing of automobiles onto Avenik
bcinas. The request is not consistent with the various elements of the Genera'
Plan because it neither improves the existing circulation situation nor guarantee!
sufficient loading facilities since it inhibits the adjacent restaurant's existin8
loading zone by &ec&g &c through the loading area. The request is alsc
detrimental to existing uses and adversely impacts the site, surroundings, ani
traffic circulation as it is not certain to be compatible with the adjacen
restaurant's loading zone or the current parking lot circulation.

The site, at times, barely accommodates the traffic circulation and parking for thf
existing uses. Addition of a drive-thru facility without major site redesign woulc
increase existing onsite circulation problems and, therefore, the site is no
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use.
As stated previously, the existing circulation pattern and parking lot layout woulr
have to be significantly modified to accommodate the drive-thru aisle
Consequently, the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other feature:
necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or future uses in tht
neighborhood are not being provided.

4. That the street system serving the property is adequate to properly handle a1
traffic generated by the proposed use as Avenida Encinas is a secondary arteria
with existing traffic volumes well below capacity.
