NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
6 Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
7 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
o
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
9 APPROVES REAL FIT 4 LIFE FITNESS GYM - CUP 10-13, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
10
Findings:
, ~ 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
13 if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the
proposed Fitness Gym use will provide specialty health club services in close
14 proximity to the employees of the businesses within the surrounding P-M Zone as
well as the residents of the Bressi Ranch community.
16 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 proposed Fitness Gym
17 is compatible with the surrounding office park and the temporary Pacific Ridge
School Gym uses. The proposed Fitness Gym will provide adequate parking and the
existing office park has been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site
19 and provides for adequate traffic circulation. Furthermore the Fitness Gym is
proposed to be located within an existing building and only tenant improvements to
20 the interior are required for the use.
21 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,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
23 planning director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood in that the Fitness Gym will occupy a 5,693 square foot
24 existing office building with existing onsite landscaping as previously approved
under Planned Industrial Permit (PIP 05-24) and requires no site alterations or
additional amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required
26 development standards of the P-M Zone and the proposed 5,693 square foot
building space is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed Fitness
27 Gym operations, as shown on Exhibit "B."
2° 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 is provided access from Innovation
PCRESONO. 6761 -2-
Way and Gateway Road which are currently operating at an acceptable level of
2 service. The Bressi Ranch Towers office project was previously analyzed for traffic
generation and the street system was designed to properly handle all traffic
3 generated by the office park. The 227 average daily trips associated with this
proposed Fitness Gym can be accommodated by the existing street system.
4
- 5. 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
6 environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301 - "Existing
7 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
Guidelines do not apply to this project.
9 6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
I o 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
I1 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
