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 Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission
makes the following findings regarding IDR No. 2021-03:
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan,
Specific Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project 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 proposed zoning for the subject site Limited Manufacturing (M-1). The proposed
office/warehouse use is identified as a permitted use while the proposed outdoor storage
area is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the M-1 zone. The project
has been reviewed for consistency with the M-1 zone and it has been determined that the
proposed light industrial project would assist in achieving the development of a well-
balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational
and institutional land uses.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the LEMC and all applicable
provisions of the LEMC.
The project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The architectural
design of the proposed building complies with the Nonresidential Development Standards
(Chapter 17.112) of the LEMC. Sufficient setbacks and enhanced onsite landscaping have
been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas as a person moves along abutting
streets. The project would create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between
the proposed development and existing projects using modern industrial architectural
design that is similar to existing developments in the vicinity. In addition, safe and efficient
circulation has been achieved onsite.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.415.050.G.3 of the LEMC, including
guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the Project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the
objectives of Section 17.415.050.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.050.E of the LEMC, the project was considered by the Planning
Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing held on January 20, 2026. The project, as
reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will
not have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the
conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Commission hereby recommends that the
Council approve IDR No. 2021-03.
