adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution. Section 2. CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Sections 15301 "Existing Facilities" and 15331 "Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation" because: a. As required by CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301(e)(2) (Existing Facilities), the project is comprised of an addition of less than 10,000, is located in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan of the CEQA Guidelines, and is located in an area which is not environmentally sensitive; and b. As set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15331, Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, the proposed Project involves the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner that is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings, and the proposed project has been found not to impact the eligibility of the resources for listing in the California Register, as discussed in the CEQA Exemption Determination Memo. Section 3. Downtown Planned Community Permit DPC2016-004: The Planning Commission finds that: a. The Project and improvements proposed by Downtown Planned Community permit DPC2016-004 are consistent with, conform to the intent of, and will appropriately implement the Downtown Precise Plan for the 929 Main Street project; and b. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the project and improvements proposed by Downtown Planned Community permit DPC2016-004 will not, under the circumstances of this particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the project, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood of the project, or to the general welfare of the City, because the project has been found to be consistent with the community goals established in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; and c. The Project and improvements comply fully with all applicable Standards of the DTPP, with the exception of the Main Street sidewalk width. Because of the adjacent historic building and Expanded Historic Main Street District, the Planning Manager has exempted the requirement pursuant to Section 2.4.2(A)1.b ; and d. The Project and improvements comply with all but two (2) Guidelines of the DTPP. The aspects of the Project which do not conform to the Guidelines of the DTPP (which are recommended, not mandatory) nonetheless adequately promote the overall intent of the DTPP.
