Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Factors Considered. The Planning Commission, in approving Planning
Application No. PLSR16-0003, makes the following factors, to wit:
A. That the developments general appearance is compatible with existing development and
enhances the surrounding neighborhood.
Criteria Satisfied. This development is the first new industrial building in the PDA and
sets a very high standard on architectural design and placement of the building on this
former parking lot. The development is compatible with surrounding development and
preserves much of the existing landscaping on the site to give the project a mature
appearance.
B. That the development incorporates a variation from adjacent on-site and off-site
structures in height, bulk, and area; arrangement on the parcel; openings or breaks in
the fagade facing the street; and/or the line and pitch of the roof.
Criteria Satisfied. The new building has a very attractive glass enclosed entry that
enhances the appearance of the building from State Farm Drive. There are breaks in the
building facade for large windows facing the street and adjacent properties. The roof line
of the entry is elevated above the remainder of the roof of the building adding interest to
the appearance of the building from the street.
C. That the development will be located and oriented in such a manner so as to provide
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connections with adjacent properties, as appropriate,
and avoids indiscriminate location and orientation.
Criteria Satisfied. Vehicular access to the property is from existing driveways on
properties to the south and north of the property. This results in no driveways along the
frontage of the property. There is pedestrian access to the building from State Farm Drive
and bicycle access from the street via the two existing driveways.
Section 3. Environmental Clearance. In accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), an EIR was prepared for the PDA. The KG Technologies project is
located within the PDA, an analysis was prepared to evaluate the consistency of the proposed
project with the PDA EIR. As demonstrated in the analysis, the proposed KG Technologies
project is consistent with the PDA Plan analyzed in the PDA EIR
