A)
B)
That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES PALOMAR AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK - CUP 04-10, based
on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1.

7.
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 community benefits of a private school include an
educational facility which offers learning to a diverse population of adult learners.
The land use designation of “Planned Industrial” does not preclude the provision of
a private school and existing uses onsite and adjacent to it consist of offices and light
industrial uses which will not be impacted by the proposed use.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the project meets all City standards and policies without the need for a variance
from 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 no adjustments are necessary to allow the proposal to
be located on the subject site. The project constitutes use of an existing building as a
private school, the Vitality College of Healing Arts.
That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed private school will primarily
operate in off-peak hours and on weekends and therefore will not conflict with the
other existing officehdustrial uses which operate during normal business hours.
The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report
dated June 16, 2004 and that the proposed use of a private school is consistent with
the land use designation of Planned Industrial.
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, conversion of
existing small structures from one use to another provided the area of the buildings does
not exceed 10,000 square feet in floor area in urbanized areas. 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.

unless the City Council determines that the project without the condition complies with
all requirements of law.

This project shall comply with all conditions and mitigation measures which are required
as part of the Zone 5 Local Facilities Management Plan and any amendments made to that

Planning Director shall recommend that the Planning Commission, after providing the
permittee the opportunity to be heard, add additional conditions to reduce or eliminate the
substantial negative effects.
This Conditional Use Permit is granted for a period of five (5) years from June 16,2004

the public’s health and welfare, or the conditions imposed herein have not been met. This
permit may be extended for a reasonable period of time not to exceed five (5) years upon
written application of the permittee made no less than 90 days prior to the expiration date.
The Planning Commission may not grant such extension, unless it finds that there are no
substantial negative effects on surrounding land uses or the public’s health and welfare.
If a substantial negative effect on surrounding land uses or the public’s health and welfare
is found, the extension shall be denied or granted with conditions which will eliminate or
substantially reduce such effects. There is no limit to the number of extensions the
Planning Commission may grant.
Prior to the issuance of the building permit and/or business license, Developer shall
submit to the City a Notice of Restriction to be filed in the office of the County Recorder,
