findings:
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF
A SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT

General Plan policy, as a Conditional Use Permit would be required for any new
self -storage and/or truck rental facility, which would assure compliance with General
Plan policies regarding vehicle traffic.
2. That the proposed amendment will allow for conversion of existing industrial uses to
cleaner non -industrial uses within the CL zone, which is intended for service -related
commercial uses, including storage and equipment rental.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the
proposed use would be contained within the existing building envelope, and all
activities would be contained on the subject site.
2. That the site has sufficient access to Wilson Avenue and Civic Center Drive, both
Collector streets with direct access to Interstate 5, operating at a Level of Service
(LOS) of A and C respectively, to accommodate the approximate maximum of 5

properties, since the use will be completely contained within the existing building
and property, and since only gasoline vehicles will be used in conjunction with the
business.

convenience, since it will contribute to the conversion of an existing industrial use

commercially -zoned property.
