BUILDING OWNED BY EQUITY OFFICE LOCATED AT 1901 S.
BASCOM AVENUE IN A C-2-S-O (GENERAL
COMMERCIAL/OVERLAY) ZONING DISTRICT. FILE NO. PLN2003-
60.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2003-60:
1. The proposed project consists of the establishment of a 424 square foot commercial travel
school in an existing 10,000 square foot office space, on the fifth floor of Pruneyard Tower I.
2. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan land use designation of General Commercial for this area.
The proposed commercial travel school is consistent with the commercial land use
designation of the C-2-S-O (General Commercial) zoning designation for the site with
approval of a Use Permit.
4. The proposed use is located within an established commercial center and is compatible with
the surrounding development and uses.
5. The existing 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.
6. The proposed operational hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. are typical of commercial uses in
the vicinity.
7. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the
immediate area.

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.
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The subject site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences,
parking and loading facilities, landscaping, and other development features required in order
to integrate said use with uses in the surrounding area.
6. The subject site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such use would generate.
7. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
8. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Conditional
Use Permit (PLN2003-60) to allow the establishment of a commercial travel school in an
existing commercial building owned by Equity Office located at 1901 S Bas¢om Avenue,
