That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: APPROVES PALOMAR AIRPORT SELF-STORAGE - CUP 99-06(B) Findinps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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 proposed use provides desired storage space for the office and business uses in the industrial area; mini-warehouses are an allowed conditional use in the Planned Industrial zone; the proposed project provides more parking than required for the use, and the proposed self-storage use generates less traffic than the existing office use. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that except for the proposed building addition, no additional external improvements are needed for the project and the building addition is designed to preserve emergency vehicle access around the property. 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 all of the storage will be contained within the building; the existing perimeter fencing is proposed to remain; and the building addition will be constructed so as to match the color and texture of the existing building. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed self-storage use generates much less traffic than office or industrial uses of the same size. 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 15332 - In Fill Development 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 PC RES0 NO. 5766 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 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.
