B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES PINE AVENUE PARK TEMPORARY BUILDINGS – CUP 12- 12, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: 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, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the temporary buildings and shade structure are desirable to provide a place for after- school and summer camp programs, which at least one of the buildings has been used for several years. The temporary structures are harmonious with the OS General Plan designation and have been designed to not be detrimental to surrounding uses by the placement of the structures adjacent to the Senior Center and parking lot and not interfering with any of the other recreational uses within the park site. 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 temporary buildings and shade structure would not impose any detrimental impacts to other uses in the surrounding area in that the lot is currently used as a community park and senior center. The mobile buildings and shade structure are necessary for effective delivery of recreation programs and are compatible with other park uses. Further, the temporary structures are compatible in color with the surrounding park structures and uses. 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 City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in that the 7.2 acre site is currently used as a community park, storage area, public restrooms and a senior community center. The temporary buildings and shade structure are located at the northeast corner of the park and do not encroach into the adjacent parking lot. The temporary buildings meet all fire and building code regulations, including an ADA compliant access ramp to both temporary buildings. Mature landscaping surrounds the structures and no additional lighting is proposed. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the existing temporary buildings and shade structure will not generate any additional traffic. Most of the users are dropped off PC RESO NO. 6984 -3- 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 by parents or walk to the site.
