ATTY/RESO.0033/PC RESO APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & ARC – 860 CHARTER ST. REV: 06-27-17 PR Page 2 of 11 WHEREAS, the Commission has determined that the proposed Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Permit, for a new elementary school would not be in conflict with the purpose and intent of the City of Redwood City General Plan, and is in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Redwood City Code and Redwood City Zoning Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission finds that the above recitals are accurate and constitute findings in this matter and, together with the Staff Report and the application materials, development plan, the IS/MND, and all other documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials in the City’s file for the applications and the Project, and all adopted City planning documents relating to the Project and the property including the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable City laws and regulations, have together served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution. Section 2. Conditional Use Permit (UP2014-20) Findings (Zoning Ordinance Sections 42.4 and 33.19) for continuation of legally nonconforming parking stall size and driveway width: The Planning Commission finds that: a. The proposed use will be consistent with the various elements and objectives of the general plan and any applicable Specific and Precise Plans, and zoning regulations for the subject location in that the Project meets the applicable criteria in the Industrial Restricted (IR) zone district and is consistent with the Light Industrial General Plan land use classification. b. The proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses in that the project has been designed to minimize traffic impacts by designing drop-off and pick- up operations on-site and has included landscape screening to reduce views of the playground. c. The use and its associated structures and facilities will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the people and property of Redwood City. As discussed in the IS/MND, the Project would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the people and property of Redwood City. The school will implement a traffic control program designed to accommodate pick-up and drop off traffic onsite, thereby reducing potential safety conflicts in the public right-of-way. Neither the Project, nor the implementation of conditions of approval or mitigation measures, will be detrimental to public health in the immediate environment of the school or to the general welfare of the City, in that those conditions are intended to reduce impacts as a result of school operations.
