incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearing;
and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable p rocedures required by
State law and City law; and,
WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essentia l for the preservation

NOW, THEREFORE, BE'. IT RESOLVED by the Planning "Commission of the City
of N~!ooai City , CR~rro mia, th2t the testimony and evidence presented to the Plannin g
Commission at the public hearing held on March 19, 2018 , s upport the following
findings :
~ . The proposed use i.s allowable within the applicable zonlng district pursuant to a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and complies with all other applicable provisions
of the Land Use Code, because the Land Use Code permits the conversion of a
lawful nonconforming use to another lawful nonconforming use located on
another site within the same zone subject·to a CUP .
2. The proposeq use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan , because the proposed medical office use i s consistent with Goal
.HEJ 6 and Policy HEJ 6-1 of the Health and Environmen tal Justice element of
the General Plan, as it is both centrally located and within walking distance of an
established single-family neighborhood and a newer condl ominium de'!elopment.
ln addition, the property is not within a Specific Plan area.
3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics o t the proposed activity
would .be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity,
because no expansion of the building is proposed; the proposal involves the
conversion of an existing nonresidential building that will provide a needed service
for the· surrounding community. In addition, use of the property will be less intense
in nature than the previous church use.
4. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being
proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence o f physical constraints,
because the proposed medical office use is only expected to generate an
additional 39 average daily trips, which can be accommodat ed by the existing road
network. The conversion of a church to a medical office is not expected to increase
the demand for parking on the property as less spaces are required for the new
use and the previous use was adequately parked.
5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental
to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially
injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which
the property is located, because the proposed use will be less intense than the
previous use and will provide a needed service to the surrounding community. In
addition, the proximity of the use to the established residential neighborhood will
lessen the need for vehicle trips to the site.
6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because staff has determined the proposed
use to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 1
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed
subsequent to approval of this Conditional Use Permit.
