APN: 374-632-05; 374-632-07; and 374-632-08 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves Major Site Plan Review No. 1072-21 and Design Review No. 5059-21 to demolish all existing on -site development in order to construct two industrial warehouse buildings totaling approximately 101,170 square feet and related site improvements, based on the following findings: SECTION I — FINDINGS General Plan Finding: The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General Plan. The project is consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General Plan Land Use and Economic Development Elements in that the proposed industrial warehouse development helps to provide a service that contributes to a diversified mix of land uses in the surrounding community. Redevelopment of the existing degraded site will increase the economic viability of the property through aesthetic enhancement and the elimination of physical deterioration. In addition, redevelopment of the site will support revenue generating businesses which will in turn contribute to the economic vitality in the area. Major Site Plan Review Findings: 1. The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods OMC 17.10. 060. H.1). The surrounding development and neighborhood consist of residential townhomes and Fletcher Elementary School to the north, and industrial uses to the south, east and west. The project has been designed to be mindful of the sensitive uses to the north by incorporating various Project Design Features, including building layout and location of site access driveways and truck loading docks at the center of the site along North American Way, away from sensitive uses to the north, installation of screen walls along the west and east sides of the parking lot to screen loading dock activities from off -site viewpoints, adequate on -site parking and queueing for cars and trucks/trailers, landscaped setbacks with a combination of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers to provide layered landscaping to help screen the buildings and parking areas from off -site viewpoints, on- Resolution PC 23-22 Page 3 of 18 site signage that provides directional guidance to trucks entering and exiting the property, and truck idling restrictions. The proposed contemporary building design and scale complement the eclectic character of the area and the landscaping provides the project frontages with a hierarchy of plant material that soften the building mass and scale. Overall, the proposed project presents an integrated design that provides a renewed, updated, and improved appearance to the site and to the surrounding community. 2. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project conforms to City development standards and any applicable special design guidelines or specific plan requirements (OMC 17.10.060.H2). The project as proposed conforms to City development standards for the M-1 zoning district. There are no special design guidelines or specific plans affecting the property. 3. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project provides for safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on- and off -site (OMC 17.10.060.H.3). The proj ect provides safe and adequate access and circulation for vehicles and pedestrians from North American Way. The on -site circulation has been designed to accommodate all access needs to parking spaces and for emergency vehicles. Disabled parking and access have been designed to accommodate building code requirements. 4. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if City services are available and adequate to serve the project (OMC 17.10.060.H.4). A review of the project with all City Departments concludes that City services will be available and adequate to serve this site, including water, sewer, police, and fire services. 5. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially minimize adverse environmental effects (OMC 17.10.060.H.5). No environmental effects have been identified for the project. The OMC will adequately manage construction and use regulation needs of the project. Design Review Finding: 1. The project design upholds community aesthetics through the use of an internally consistent, integrated design theme and is consistent with all adopted specific plans, applicable design standards, and their required findings (OMC 17.10.070. G.3). There are no specific design standards applicable to this site. The new industrial warehouse buildings and landscaping as proposed will generally provide positive improvements to the existing degraded site conditions. The contemporary project design and scale, including colors and materials, provides an internally consistent and integrated design theme that upholds community aesthetics, and suits the eclectic character of the industrial and residential development in the area. Resolution PC 23-22 Page 4 of 18 SECTION 2 — ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Categorical Exemption: An Environmental Technical Report was prepared that evaluated traffic, noise, air quality, energy and greenhouse gas, and water quality to evaluate whether the proposed project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The studies found no impact to these environmental issues. The Technical Report concluded that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines 15332 (Class 32 — Infill Development Projects) because the project meets the following criteria: a. The project is consistent with the existing General Plan designations, General Plan policies and, applicable zoning designations and regulations. b. The project is in the City on a site less than five acres and is substantially surrounded by urban uses. C. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threated species. d. The project has been evaluated for significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, and water quality and no significant effects have been identified. e. The site would be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. In addition, the project would not trigger any exceptions of State CEQA Guidelines 15300.2 based on location, cumulative impacts, significant effects, location near a scenic highway, location on a hazardous waste site, or causing substantial adverse change to a historical resource because the project is not on an environmentally sensitive site, does not contribute to cumulative impacts, will not have a significant effect on the environment, is not near a scenic highway, is not on hazardous waste site, and is not a historical resources site. No environmental public review is required. SECTION 3— CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following conditions are imposed: General: 1.
