The above recitations are true and correct. 2. Approval of the project is based on the following findings: c w ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS a. Based on the Initial Study and the information contained in the record, there will be no significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the project. b. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and its supporting documentation fully reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Redding. SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FINDINGS c. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use. The proposed retail tire store at this site will potentially impact the neighborhood in regards to traffic and general activity at the site. The conditions of approval require improvements that address these potential impacts and will insure the impacts will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use. These conditions include road frontage improvements, additional landscaping, buffer yards and zone wall fencing. The site design will also reduce the potential impacts to health, safety, and general welfare, by orientating the bay doors away from existing residents, constructing a structure of insulated panels that will adequately mitigate noise from internal operations such as compressors and air tools, and will include the construction a solid masonry wall that will connect into the building in order to help separate the existing residential area from the proposed commercial uses. Overall, the addition of site improvements as conditioned will mitigate the impacts so that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood. d. The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the city. As described under Finding 1 above, the proposed project would not result in any detrimental effects upon the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood because the site has adequate distance separated by a public road or an adequate zone wall with a buffer area from residences. For the same reasons described under Finding 1, the proposed tire retail store would not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the City. e. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies established by the General Plan and the Redding Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently zoned "LO" Limited Office with a General Plan designation of "Limited Office." This current designation does not allow for tire stores. The project requires a general plan amendment and rezoning to "Shopping Center" and "SC" Shopping Center, respectively, to allow for the development of the tire retail store at this site. With the approval of the general plan amendment and rezoning applications, the construction of the proposed tire retail store would be consistent, because the adjacent Shopping Center zoning to the south is consistent with the proposed zoning, and since the main driveway for the shopping center will provide access to the subject parcels it will function as part of the Shopping Center. Taking into consideration the easterly adjacent residences, the building is proposed at the most westerly portion of the property, located furthest from the easterly adjacent single family zoning district. Furthermore, the zone walls and proposed buffer yards will adequately separate the residential from the commercial and the setbacks provided are consistent with the proposed zoning. f. The proposed use and project design are consistent with the design guidelines established by resolution of the City Council in accordance with Redding Zoning Ordinance Section 18.40.050, Design Criteria. The proposal is subject to the adopted design criteria for commercial development referenced in the Redding Zoning Ordinance. In accordance with the design criteria, the architectural design of the proposal incorporates the use of various building materials and forms and design techniques that provide interest and avoid long, blank walls along the street front. The awnings on the roof elevation breaks up the boxy style of the building and varying stucco and color help the proposal to meet the applicable design criteria. PARCEL MAP FINDINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 66474 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE g. That the density or use of the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan designation of "Limited Office LO" or applicable area and specific plans as specified in Section 65451 of the Government. The parcels are proposed in support of the approved Les Schwab Tire Store of the Churn Creek Marketplace Shopping Center. The two one acre resultant parcels meet the existing Limited Office standards and the proposed Shopping Center standards. h. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan or area or specific plans. All proposed parcels have sufficient size, configuration, and access to satisfy the standard "LO" District and the proposed Shopping Center "SC" zoning criteria applicable to the site and can support future commercial uses promoted under the General Plan. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development due to steepness of terrain; location of water courses; size or shape of the property; inadequate frontage, access, or building area; or other physical condition. The parcel map area is relatively flat with no water courses on site and is consistent with the Limited Office zone district and the proposed Shopping Center zoning. j. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. The parcel map is consistent with the General plan polices to protect the environment. The existing zoning of Limited Office would allow full development of the site, the proposed change of zoning to Shopping Center would allow commercial uses instead of office uses but the development potential remains similar therefore the parcel map to divide the single parcel into two will not increase the potential impact to the habitat. The proposed development will remove existing vegetation but it has been determined that the proposed development will not cause substantial environmental damage, because the potential habitat is not connected to other open space or natural areas and is fully surrounded by other development. k. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not cause serious public health problems. Adequate measures have been applied with the conditions of approval to address potential concerns related to public health, including, but not limited to, provisions for water for domestic use and fire protection, extension of sanitary sewer facilities to ensure proper management of wastewater, installation of necessary storm drainage, construction of proper public streets and sidewalk, and provision for proper and orderly timing for construction of necessary improvements. 1. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The subdivision, with application of the conditions of approval, will not conflict with any existing public easements of record.
