WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 20 , 1996, to
receive oral and written testimony regarding the subject project and made the following findings:
A
B.
C .
D .
E.
The applicants are proposing to construct a two-story multi-use commercial building
above two-levels of parking, with restaurant, retail and office space;
The project is consistent with applicable general and specific plans, and is in compliance
with the use and development requirements of the zoning ordinance ;
The site is zoned C-2 Restricted Commercial and is located in the downtown district of
the City, and is thus suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed development;
The project exhibits the appropriate scale, and a quality of design and construction
materials, which will make it compatible with surrounding commercial development
The parking required for this development is 65% of the parking requirement for the
proposed uses since it is located within the Downtown Enhancement District (DED), and
pursuant to Section 1152 .5 of the Zoning Ordinance and pursuant to the Certified Coastal
Land Use Plan, the reduction to 65% is supported by the following findings:
1. Fewer than 96,250 square feet of commercial development, including new
buildings, expansions , and/or intensification of uses in the DED has received a
Coastal Development Permit since November 1, 1994 .
2. There is currently adequate parking to support the development and to provide
adequate beach parking.
3. A parking study recently completed for the downtown show the occupancy of the
parking spaces in the downtown is 90% or less during daylight hours on summer

weekends, and no more than 24,063 square feet of commercial development has
occurred since the study.
3 F . Compliance with the conditions of approval will mitigate any negative impact resulting
from the issuance of the precise development plan 4
5 G. The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's
recommendation, based on their environmental assessment/initial study, that this
project with the mitigating conditions included in this resolution will result in a less
than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a Negative
Declaration.
