DISCUSSION The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Central CommerciallProfessional Office/Residential (up to 27 units/gross acre) and the project is compatible with this land use designation. The zoning designation for the project site is P-D (Planned Development). An Administrative Planned Development Permit is required for a change of use to an existing building within the P-D (Planned Development) zoning district. The project site is located on the south side of Salmar Avenue near the Harrison Avenue and Salmar Avenue intersection. The project site is surrounded by commercial and warehouse uses to the north and east; and residential to the south and west. The subject building is currently developed with a single story office/warehouse building constructed in approximately 1979 under a Site and Architectural Review Permit (S 79-2). The existing building is currently occupied by one existing retail business, two existing warehouse businesses, and one vacant tenant space. The applicant proposes to occupy the existing vacant tenant space for a wholesale/retail furniture store. No exterior modifications to the building are proposed with this application. The parking ordinance requires the provision of 1 :200 square feet for a retail use. The proposed project generates a parking demand of 25 parking spaces and the remaining portion of the building generates a parking demand of 43 parking spaces for a total demand of 68 parking PLN2005-165 - 432 Salma..

PLN2005-165 SITE ADDRESS: APPLICANT: DATE: 432 Salmar Avenue Mr. Shawn Smith December 16, 2005 Findings for approval of an Administrative Planned Development Permit to allow the establishment of a wholesale/retail furniture store in an existing warehouse building located at 432 Salmar Avenue. The Community Development Director finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2005-165: 1. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Commercial/Professional Office/Residential. 2. The project will be consistent with the P-D (Planned Development) zoning district with approval of an Administrative Planned Development Permit. 3. The project site is located on the south side of Salmar Avenue near the Harrison Avenue and Salmar Avenue intersection. The project site is surrounded by commercial and warehouse uses to the north and east; and residential to the south and west. 4. The proposed project generates a parking demand of 25 parking spaces and the remaining portion of the building generates a parking demand of 43 parking spaces for a total demand of 68 parking spaces. The applicant has shown 66 standard spaces and two accessible spaces for a total of 68 parking spaces. 5. The subject building is currently developed with a single story warehouse building constructed in approximately 1979. The existing building is 20,076 square feet and is currently occupied by one existing retail business, two existing warehouse businesses, and one vacant tenant space. 6. The project would occupy the existing vacant tenant space of 4,836 square feet to be used as a wholesale/retail furniture store. 7. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Community Development Director further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development will result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. Attachment # 1 Page 2 of2 2. The development will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The development will be compatible with the Zoning Code ofthe City. 4. The development will not result in allowing more residential units than would be allowed by other residential zoning districts, which are consistent with the General Plan designation of the property. 5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. 6. The parking will adequately meet the demands generated by the change in use, and will not be detrimental to the overall parking and circulation in the area. 7. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of approval and the impacts of the project. 8. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project. 9. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
