Findings:
10
11
12 (Note: These findings are not applicable to 1st Amendment uses; see Section 21.42.030.B)
13 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,
14 if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the
proposed restaurant, as an ancillary commercial use to the production and
distribution facility, is oriented to support the surrounding industrial developments
15 and their populations. The project site is centrally located within Planning Area 5
of the Bressi Ranch industrial area and is also within close proximity and walking
17 distance of the Bressi Ranch residential community. The project's location makes it
convenient for both employees of the surrounding industrial developments and also
the residents of Bressi Ranch to access the restaurant. As discussed in Section "A"
19 of the project staff report, the restaurant is in harmony with the elements and
objectives of the General Plan.
20
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
21 in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed restaurant,
22 an ancillary commercial use to the production and distribution facility, provides
support dining opportunities in close proximity and walking distance of the
23 surrounding industrial developments and also the residential community of Bressi
Ranch and therefore is not detrimental to existing uses or those uses permitted in
24 the P-M Zone. The site design accommodates all required parking on-site and
provides for adequate traffic circulation.
25 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,
27 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
2^ other uses in the neighborhood, in that as discussed within Sections "B" through "E"
of the project staff report, the project complies will all design criteria of the Bressi
PC RESO NO. 6841 -2-
5
Ranch Master Plan, all development standards of the P-M Zone as identified in
2 C.M.C. Chapter 21.34, and all parking regulations as identified in C.M.C. Chapter
21.44. The proposed restaurant can be adequately accommodated within the future
3 Suite A and outdoor patio as proposed.
4 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 Gateway
Road, a local street, and is located off of El Fuerte Street, a collector street, which
6 are currently operating at acceptable levels of service. The 430 average daily trips
associated with this project can be accommodated by the existing street system.
7
5. The Planning Director has determined that:
9 a. the project is a subsequent activity of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan (MP 178), a
project for which a program EIR was prepared, and a notice for the activity has
10 been given, which includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the
program approved earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the
^ ^ activity for the purposes of CEQA); [15168( c)(2) and (e)]; and/or
this project is consistent with the Master Plan cited above; and 12
13
c. the Bressi Ranch Master Plan Final EIR 98-04 was certified by the City
14 Council on July 9, 2002 in connection with the prior project or plan; and
15 d. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant
in the prior EIR; and
16 ^
e. none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR
under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist; and
l;
f. The Planning Director finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project
19 altematives identified in the EIR 98-04, which are appropriate to this Subsequent
Project, have been completed, incorporated into the project design or are required
2*^ as conditions of approval for this Subsequent Project.
21
6. The Plarming Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
22 contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
