Section 2: On January 20, 2026, after consideration and evaluation of all written reports
and comments and oral testimony presented by the Community Development Department and
other City departments, property owners, residents and other interested parties and such other
matters as are reflected in the record of the noticed Public Hearing on the Project, the Commission
adopted a resolution finding and determining that the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER 2023-
03; SCH No. 2025100377) is adequate and is prepared in accordance with the requirements of
CEQA.
Section 3: That in accordance with LEMC Section 17.415.070.C. Findings, the
Commission makes the following findings regarding CUP No. 2022-25:
1. That the proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord
with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which
the site is located.
The proposed office/warehouse with outdoor storage use is consistent with the proposed
General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The LI Land Use designation
provides for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and development,
public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses with a maximum 0.45 Floor
Area Ratio (FAR). The project is proposing to develop a light industrial complex with 0.10
FAR, which is under the maximum allowed.
The project site is also within the Business District of the General Plan. The Business
District is located within the central area of the city. The main focus of the Business District
is to support its position as the industrial and commercial hub of the city while ensuring
that new development does not encroach upon the floodway and that development
maintains an orientation towards this natural resource as a pedestrian corridor. The project
would be consistent with the goals of the Business District, including the goal to strengthen
its position as the industrial and commercial hub of the city while being sensitive to the
natural wetlands, floodway, and floodplain. The proposed project would contribute to the
commercial vitality of the Business District as well as the City in general.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general
welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the
City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
The proposed use would not cause either directly or indirectly any detrimental effects to
the existing surrounding community. The project has been thoroughly reviewed by all
departments and conditioned as such to avoid any possible negative impacts associated
with the proposed use.
3. The Site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and
for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features
required by this title.
The proposed use has been analyzed and staff has determined that the proposed use
meets all applicable sections of the LEMC including building setbacks, parking,
landscaping, and site access. Further, the project would complement the existing uses
which include other existing light to medium industrial uses.

4. The Site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as
to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the
subject use.
The project has been conditioned to construct ultimate half‐width improvements to the
City’s standards on the property's frontage along West Minthorn Street. These
improvements would be sufficient for the type and quantity of traffic generated by the
proposed use.
5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on
abutting properties or the permitted and normal use thereof.
The Conditional Use Permit has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by all
applicable City departments thereby eliminating the potential for any adverse effects.
Furthermore, the project would be surrounded by other similar and existing industrial
developments and is not adjacent to sensitive uses such as residential.
6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to LEMC 17.415.070.B, including
guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the subject project to ensure development of the property in accordance with
the objectives of this chapter and the planning district in which the site is located.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the project was considered by the
Planning Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing on January 20, 2026, and
appropriate and applicable conditions of approval have been included to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the Conditions
of Approval imposed upon the Project, the Commission hereby recommends that the Council
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-25.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 20th day of January, 2026.
