An application was filed by Dixit Patel owner in escrow of property at 1530 Pacific Coast Highway seeking approval of a Precise Development Plan to construct a 72-room hotel. Section 2„ The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed de novo public hearing to consider the application for a Precise Development Plan on April 18, and May 16, 2000, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The applicant is proposing to construct a three-story hotel containing 33,900 square feet and 72 rooms. 2. The proposed use is classified as a hotel, pursuant to the definition of the Zoning Ordinance, since the rooms are accessed through a common entrance, and includes a central registration and lobby area. Since a use classified as a hotel is listed as a permitted use in the C- 3 zone, it is permitted in the S.P.A. 8 zone, which incorporates C-3 uses by reference. Proposed ancillary uses include a lobby, office, and breakfast room. The ancillary uses are intended to be exclusively for hotel occupants and employees. 3. The site is zoned S.P.A. 8 which requires a Precise Development Plan for the construction of the hotel as it exceeds 25-feet in building height, exceeds 10,000 square feet and exceeds a floor areas to lot area ratio of 1: 1. Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pertaining to the application for a Precise Development Plan. 1 1 2 3 4 s 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 2s 26 27 28 29 1. The project is consistent with applicable general and specific plans, and is in compliance with the use and development requirements of the zoning ordinance. 2. The site is zoned S.P.A. 8, Specific Plan Area -Commercial, and project and proposed use complies with the development standards contained therein. 3. Pursuant to the specific standards of the S.P.A. 8 zone and the underlying C-3 zoning, the project conforms with the zoning requirements with respect to building height, bulk, and landscaping, and is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Precise Development Plan review of projects that exceed first "tier" standards. 4. Compliance with the Conditions of Approval will mitigate any negative impact resulting from the issuance of the Precise Development Plan. 5. The Planning Commission concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's recommendation, based on their environmental assessment/initial study, that this project will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a mitigated Negative Declaration with the following mitigation measures. a.
