WHEREAS, based on the following findings, it is recommended that approval of the major use permit be granted: 1. That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community. The proposed expansion of an existing mini-warehouse facility as proposed will provide a buffer between commercial and residential areas, while providing an architectural link between the two land uses. -1- 2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the _particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or general 'elfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed expansion of an existing mini-warehouse facility as proposed is in keeping with a bulk and scale complementary to the neighboring residential areas, and as such will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code for such use. With approval of a major use permit for the existing mini-warehouse facility as well as the expansion, the proposed mini-warehouse use complies with the regulations and conditions specified in the Code for such use. 4. That the granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency. Although the Planning and Design Proposals (page 16(f)) of the newly adopted Montgomery Specific Plan discourages the proliferation of mini-warehouses within Montgomery, the proposed project is an exception. The requested major use permit would not authorize the establishment of a new mini-warehouse use on the subject premises, but would merely sanction the expansion and comprehensive upgrading of an existing facility. This expansion and upgrading would substantially improve the mini-warehouse's visual and functional relationships, and improve its economic potential. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby approve expansion of the mini-warehouse facility located at 340 Naples Street in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution PCC-88-23M and subject to the following conditions: a. The proposed expansion including all signs shall be submitted for review and approval by the Design Review Committee. b. The applicant shall provide two on-site fire hydrants, the type and location subject to review and approval by the City Fire Marshal. Details of existing fire protection systems shall also be provided for review by the Fire Marshal. -2- c. Any expansion or alteration to the proposed mini-warehouse project which exceeds the height shown on the approved site plan and exterior elevations shall be subject to approval of a modification of the major use permit. d. Open storage of any materials or vehicles of any type is expressly prohibited. e. The applicant shall submit a landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect or licensed landscape contractor in accordance with the City Landscape Manual for review and approval by the City Landscape Architect. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the approved plan and maintained in good condition at all times. Failure to maintain required landscaping in good condition shall constitute grounds for revocation of the major use permit. f. The applicant shall install a landscaping buffer to control traffic and prevent customers crossing the neighboring residential property. In addition, the landscaping buffer shall serve as a noise buffer. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find that the project will have no significant environmental ~impacts and adopts the Negative Declaration issued on IS-88-33M.
