That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is located, in that the storage of excess car inventory from Car Country dealerships offsite is necessary for Car Country dealerships to conduct business and not exceed the storage capacity of the existing sales lots. The Planned Industrial land use designation anticipates storage uses; and the project is designed to screen stored vehicles to avoid detrimental visual impacts to surrounding uses. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that the project is consistent with all P-M zone development standards. That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that the project includes landscaped berms and solid fencing within the required setbacks. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project is served by two circulation arterials that operate at acceptable levels. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt Erom the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 pertaining to infill projects in urban areas of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 3 and all City public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
