EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS (APPROVAL)
A. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-83.53(c), Master Plan
Findings for Mixed -Use Overlay Districts, of the Municipal Code due to the
following:
Finding: The project is consistent with the General Plan, meets the purpose and
intent of the mixed -use overlay district, and the stated policies of the Urban Plan as
applicable.
• Facts in Support of Findings: The project, as conditioned, meets the purpose
and intent of the mixed -use overlay district, and the stated policies of the
General Plan and the Urban Plan. The project would allow for the
redevelopment of existing buildings that currently have minimal landscaping
and streetscape appeal. The proposed project would enhance the visual
appearance of the property from the public streets and provide the type and mix
of land uses that were envisioned in the Urban Plan.
The following is the project's consistency with specific policies and objectives of the
2015-2035 General Plan.
Policy LU-1.1: Provide for the development of a mix and balance of housing
opportunities, commercial goods and services, and employment opportunities in
consideration of the needs of the business and residential segments of the
community.
Consistency. The mixed -use project would provide a variety of uses,
including commercial uses, live/work units and residential units on a portion of
a site formally dedicated for industrial uses. The project would create a varied
land use in the project area and provide additional housing opportunities.
Objective LU-6A: Ensure the long-term productivity and viability of the
community's economic base.
Consistency. The project would revitalize a currently underused parcel of
land, thus supporting the long-term productivity and viability of the
community's economic base.
Policy LU-6.1: Encourage a mix of land uses that maintain and improve the City's
long-term fiscal health.
Consistency. The project would provide a mix of land uses (commercial
and residential) conducted on a site containing existing buildings that would
be specifically modified to accommodate the proposed use, as well as new
construction.
Resolution No. 19-60 Page 4 of 16
Policy LU-6.13: Encourage new development along major corridors that are
pedestrian oriented and includes a mixture of retail/service, residential, and office
uses.
Consistency. The project involves new development along a major corridor
in the City's SoBECA area and proposes a mix of commercial and residential
uses. The proposed project provides a mix of different land uses.
Policy LU-6.15: Promote unique and specialized commercial and industrial districts
within the City which allow for incubation of new orgrowing businesses and industries.
Consistency. The use will be located within an Urban Plan Overlay District
that encourages unique and specialized commercial uses. Due to its nature as
a mixed -use development, i.e., combining residential, live/work, workshop
maker/office, and retail and food uses, the project, if approved, would promote
a specialized commercial use that would allow for incubation of new or growing
businesses and industries.
Finding: The project includes adequate resident -serving amenities in the common
open space areas and/or private open space areas in areas including, but not
limited to, patios, balconies, roof terraces, walkways, and landscaped areas.
Facts in Support of Findings: The project meets the required open space
for the residential component of the project, and the proposed plans indicate
sufficient resident -serving amenities such as plazas and active and passive
recreation areas as required in the Urban Plan.
Finding: The project is consistent with the compatibility standards for residential
development in that it provides adequate protection for residents from excessive
noise, odors, vibration, light and glare, and toxic emanations.
Facts in Support of Findings: Facts in Support of Findings: The
project, as conditioned, will ensure future residents will have adequate
protection from noise and other nuisances. A "Notice To Residents"
disclosing that the project is located in an area surrounded by commercial
and industrial uses and could be subject to existing and potential minor
annoyances or inconveniences associated with industrial and commercial
uses such as hours of operation, delivery schedules, outdoor uses, noise
and odor generation, and the potential for toxic emanations typical of an
urban environment, will be required.
Finding: The proposed residences have adequate separation and screening from
adjacent commercial/industrial uses through site planning considerations,
structural features, landscaping, and perimeter walls.
Facts in Support of Findings: As discussed earlier, the project, as
proposed, complies withal applicable requirements of the Urban Plan with
regard to the residential portion of the project. The proposed exceeds the
Resolution No. 19-60 Page 5 of 16
requirements in the Unban Plan with regard to building separation, and will
have perimeter screen walls separating the subject property from the
surrounding uses where appropriate.
B. The project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 for In -Fill Development Projects. The project is exempt because the
use, as conditioned, is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and
all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation
and regulations; the project site is located within city limits on a site that is less than
five acres in size and is surrounded by urban uses; the project site is developed
and has no value as habitat for endangered species, rare or threatened species;
the project would not result in significant impacts relating to traffic, noise, air quality
or water quality; and the site is adequately served by existing utilities and services.
C. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with Chapter XI I, Article 3, Transportation
