NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Community Development Division in the attached report and Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration is true and correct. SECTION 2. This Commission finds, based upon the entire record: a. The approval of General Plan Amendment No. GPA 15 -01 (Mixed Use) will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in such area or vicinity. FACT: The Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Project analyzed all the potential impacts, and with mitigation measures no new significant impacts would occur as a result of the proposed Project. The Amendment will allow mixed -use development and is consistent with the policies and vision of the General Plan for the First Avenue and Duarte Road Land Use Focus Area, Therefore, the proposed Amendment would not be detrimental to the public health and welfare. 2 1950 b. The proposed Zone Change (Mixed Use) is consistent with the General Plan; and that public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice justify the proposed changes. FACT: The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the City's General Plan, as amended, including the goals, objectives, policies, and action programs in the City's General Plan, as amended. The Project location has been identified as a compatible continuation of the Mixed -Use area to the north, and will foster new development and revitalization of the adjacent commercial area. The proposed Zone Change and Project will be a positive benefit to the surrounding properties and to the City at large. Therefore, the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan. c. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. FACT: The proposed mixed use Project is guided by the policies and vision of the General Plan for the First Avenue and Duarte Road Land Use Focus Area, and will be consistent with the detailed development standards in the Zoning Code for mixed - use developments. The Project will provide opportunities for complementary service and retail commercial businesses and residential uses to locate on the subject site. The Project will comply with all zoning and regulatory requirements, and with the mitigation measures incorporated into the Project will not result in any significant impacts to the surrounding properties or community as a whole. Based on this information, the proposed Project will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the other properties in the vicinity. 3 1950 d. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. FACT: The Mixed Use Zone encourages different land uses (e.g., residential and commercial) within a mixed -use Project that offer opportunities for people to live, work, shop, and recreate without having to use their vehicles. The proposed Project will provide an opportunity for a lively street scene to come to this area, and help revitalize the Duarte Road and First Avenue commercial area, since it will attract both commuters to shop or dine, and residents who want to live within walking distance of commercial amenities. e. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and ail yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. FACT: The Project site is appropriate in size and shape to accommodate a functional and desirable mixed -use development, and a pedestrian scaled outdoor plaza area that is located along Duarte Road. The proposed number of total parking spaces of 250 spaces exceeds the City's parking requirement of 239 spaces. The proposed vehicular driveways and on -site circulation will provide effective automobile access to the site, while also maintaining a safe separation from pedestrian areas. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. f. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. FACT: The site is located along First Avenue and Duarte Road, both of which are adequate in width and pavement type to accommodate the traffic generated by the 4 1950 proposed development. A Traffic Analysis prepared for the Project finds that the Project will not create any significant traffic impacts at nearby intersections or roadways. g. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. FACT: The Project includes a General Plan Amendment to revise the underlying designation of the site from Commercial to Mixed Use. The Project would advance the goals of the City's General Plan Mixed Use Land Use and Community Design Element by providing complementary service and retail commercial businesses, along with residential uses. h. That the Project together with the provisions for its design and improvement is consistent with the City's General Plan, the City's Subdivision and Zoning Regulations, the State Subdivision Map Act, and the City's Architectural Design Guidelines. FACT: The proposed subdivision will allow the residential component of the Project to be subdivided for condominium purposes. The subdivision is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Regulations, as amended by this Project, the City's Subdivision Regulations, the State Subdivision Map Act, and the City's Architectural Design Guidelines. i. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system will comply with existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality Control Board. FACT: The Arcadia Public Works Services Department confirmed that the proposed development will be adequately served by the existing sewer infrastructure and the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board will be satisfied. 5 1950 j. That pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have been prepared for the proposed development, and that the Project will have less - than - significant impacts with mitigation measures.
