B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of KELLY CORPORATE CENTER – GPA 12-01, based on the following findings and subject to following conditions: Findings: 1. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated August 7, 2013, including, but not limited to the following: Land Use: The project proposes a General Plan Amendment from Planned Industrial (PI) and Open Space (OS) to Office (O) and Open Space (OS) to allow for the development of office uses that cater to the general public, medical office and related commercial uses. The proposed Office Land Use designation would be compatible with adjacent Planned Industrial and Open Space land uses and promote the General Plan Land Use goal to provide for land uses which through their arrangement, location, and size, support and enhance the employment and economic viability of the community. Circulation: The proposed Office Land Use designation would not result in any unavoidable adverse traffic impacts to the area. Future development of Parcel 3 within the project area will implement identified traffic mitigation measures for traffic impacts to Paseo Del Norte at Palomar Airport Road. The project is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the General Plan. Open Space and Conservation: The project will continue to preserve the adjacent Open Space lot to the south consistent with the adopted Habitat Management Plan. 2. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated March 4, 2010, in that a notice concerning aircraft noise and an avigation easement have previously been recorded against the property consistent with the ALUCP. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the ALUCP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the project is within the 60 - 70dB CNEL range and typical building construction methods will attenuate interior noise levels to the required 50 dB CNEL and Office uses are a conditionally compatible use at an intensity level equal to or less than 130 persons per acre. The presently approved project developed with medical office uses would develop at an intensity of 114 persons per acre. 3. 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 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.

If any such condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council determines that the project without the condition complies with all requirements of law. 5. Developer shall implement, or cause the implementation of, the Kelley Corporate Center Project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The mitigation measures shall be required to be implemented by the developer prior to the issuance of grading or building permits on the property. 6.
