B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES GRAND PACIFIC PALISADES WF - CDP 03-44 based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1.
2.
3.
4.

8.
That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello I1 Segment of the
Certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies in that the site is
designated as a commercial site and is consistent with the LCP Land Use Plan.
The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the project is located outside of the coastal shoreline
development overlay zone. Therefore, compliance with the public access and
recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act is not required.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the proposed
facility will be located entirely within an existing building; no steep slopes or native
vegetation is located on the subject property; and the site is not located in an area
prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X
of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and, Agricultural Conversion
Mitigation Fees are not required in accordance with the provisions of the Coastal
Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and,
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The project is proposed within an existing building and there are no scenic
resources on or near the existing development which will be impacted by the
project.
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 from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303 (construction and
installation of small new equipment facilities or structures) 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 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.
