PC -2009-36 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR GOOLD ELECTRIC, INC., AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-258 WHEREAS, Goold Electric, Inc. has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate an electrical contracting company at 1040 Serpentine Lane, Suite 207, and 1032 Serpentine Lane, Suite 109; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD -1 (Planned Unit Development — Industrial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of October 28, 2009, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301, Existing Facilities, Class 1; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The objectives of the zoning ordinance include fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protecting land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and ensuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The proposed business would be operated within the existing buildings in a manner that would result in negligible disturbance to the nearby businesses and residents. The subject properties are covered by an approved PUD development plan, which is intended to provide sites for light industrial uses including manufacturing, industries engaged in construction and building trades, neighborhood and support commercial uses, and office uses. The proposed business would not generate any unusual demands on the existing parking for the subject site or the surrounding properties and, for these reasons, would be compatible with surrounding uses.
