1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
2
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
3
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
4
^ B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES, LEE SPECIALTY FITNESS GYM - CUP 10-02, based on the
6 following findings and subject to the following conditions:
7 Findings:
Q
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
9 and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the
10 proposed gym use will provide health club services in close proximity to the
employees of the businesses within the surrounding P-M Zone.
j2 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the existing project has
13 been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site and provides for
adequate traffic circulation and furthermore the gym is proposed to be located
14 within an existing building suite and only tenant improvements to the interior are
required for the use.
15 3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
17 landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
planning director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood, in that the gym will occupy 3,048 square feet of an
in existing 17,924 square foot office/industrial building with existing onsite
landscaping as previously approved under PIP 01-03 and requires no site alterations
20 or additional amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required
development standards of the P-M Zone and the proposed 3,048 square foot tenant
21 space is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed gym operations,
„» as shown on Exhibits "A & B."
23 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project has access to the site from Tiger Run
24 Court, a local street, which is located off of Eagle Drive, a collector street, which is
currently operating at an acceptable level of service. The Palomar Forum project
was previously analyzed for traffic generation and the street system was designed to
26 properly handle all traffic generated by the office/industrial park. The 92 average
daily trips associated with the proposed gym can be accommodated by the existing
27 street system.
28
PC RESO NO. 6698 -2-
5. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
2 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
3 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301 - "Existing
Facilities" 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
r Guidelines do not apply to this project.
g 6. 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
7 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.8
