Resolution No. PC-2019-22 Page Two • The Project would provide a wide range of commercial uses within an existing commercial district in the City, allowing for more effective utilization of an already-developed property. • The site is adequately buffered from surrounding residential uses by major roadways or existing commercial uses. • The project would adequately mitigate any potential impacts to nearby intersections, such that they would operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS). • The Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. • Adequate setbacks would be provided between the new structures and the existing structures on the adjacent properties. • Because some of the proposed uses would be subject to Minor Conditional Use Permit approval, the City could impose additional conditions on these uses if unexpected problems were to materialize in the future. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan: The Project conforms to the "Retail, Highway, and Service Commercial/Business and Professional Offices" Land Use Element designation for the subject parcel. The subject parcel is located on the north side of Owens Drive and is surrounded by commercial and office uses. The proposed project would be compatible the surrounding uses. The proposed floor area ratio (FAR) of 30.73% conforms to the 60% maximum FAR limit in the General Plan. The location is not located in a specific plan area. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds the proposed Project is consistent with the City's General Plan. 3. Whether the plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site: The subject parcel is bordered by commercial and office uses. The Project would include restaurant and commercial uses similar to those in the surrounding area. Additionally, the new commercial building would have similar scale, massing and height as the existing buildings in the vicinity. The Project would be required to meet the City's Noise Ordinance. The proposed development would require limited grading for the construction of the buildings and other site improvements. Grading conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards prior to any development. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the Project is compatible with the previously developed properties and the natural, topographic features of the site. 4. Whether grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible: proposed architecture reflects the high-quality design and materials required for this prominent location.
