application on October 17, 2006, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, were
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.

makes the following factual findings:
1. The applicant is proposing to occupy four parking stalls within the parking structure of the
Hermosa Pavilion to operate an automobile detailing business.
2. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate an automobile
detailing business, which is similar in both use and intensity as a car wash.
Section 4. Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings pertaining to the application for a conditional use permit:
1. The site is zoned S.P.A. S and is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the
proposed development and the proposed use complies with the development standards contained
therein;
2. The project, as conditioned, will conform to all zoning laws and criteria and will be
compatible with neighboring residential properties;
3. The project is located in a large commercial building, the Hermosa Pavilion, which
contains a mix of commercial uses, including a health and fitness club, offices, and retail uses
and large parking structure, containing sufficient shared parking to satisfy the peak demand of
these mix of uses. The proposed use which occupies parking stalls that are in exceed of the
required parking for the current and proposed use of the entire shopping center, does not conflict
with the stated purpose and general intend of the commercial zone.
