A duly noticed public hearing was held on the application by the Planning Commission on August 1, 1989, at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita at 7:30 p.m. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P89-22 approving the Negative Declaration and conditionally approving the Conditional Use Permit and Parking Permit. d. On August 10, 1989, the City Clerk received notice of appeal of the Planning Commission decision. The appeal was presented to the City Council at its meeting of August 22, 1989. The Council set this matter for a public hearing on September 26, 1989. e. A duly noticed public hearing was held on the appeal by the Council on September 26, 1989, at the City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita at 6:30 p.m., at which time the Council reviewed the record of the decision and heard testimony of the appellant, the applicant, the body whose decision was appealed, and all other interested parties. SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and all evidence received at the public hearing, the Council further finds and determines as follows: a. Approval of this conditional use permit and parking permit will expire two (2) years from the date of approval. Use of both permits must be established within the two-year time period. The subject property is zoned A-1-7,500 (Light Agriculture) which requires a conditional use permit for the proposed ate. development and a parking permit for off-site and shared parking. b. The applicant has submitted a site plan as part of the application which depicts an area proposed for a recreation building and the off-site parking. This is a reasonable and proper use of this property. c. A total of 58 parking spaces are being provided for the project on-site. A minimum of 150 additional spaces will be provided off-site, and shared with adjacent uses as specified in the parking permit, per Chapter 22.56 - part 7 of the Municipal Code. d. The requested use at the subject property will not: 1. Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area; or 2. Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the subject property; or 3. Jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare. e. Based upon a review of the submitted plan the subject property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the development features prescribed in the City's municipal code and otherwise required in order to integrate the proposed use of the subject property with the uses in the surrounding area. f. The site has adequate traffic access from an improved public street and is adequately served by the facilities which it requires. g. The City of Santa Clarita is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable probability that this project will be consistent with the general plan proposal currently being considered or studied, that there is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed project is ultimately inconsistent with that plan, and that the proposed project complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. h. Implementation of this proposal will cause no adverse effects in the environment which cannot be adequately mitigated through the application of available controls. i... There will be no need for the number of parking spaces required by Part 11 Chapter 22.52 because sufficient land area is reserved. The reserved land area shall be so located and developed in such a manner that it can be feasibly converted to parking if needed. j. There will be no conflicts arising from special parking arrangements allowing shared facilities because: 1. Uses sharing parking facilities operate generally at different times of day or days of the week. Peak periods of use differ substantially. k. Off-site facilities will provide the required parking for uses because: 1. Such off-site facilities are controlled through ownership, leasing or other arrangement by the owner of the use for which the site serves and are conveniently accessible to the main use. 1. The requested parking permit at the location proposed will not result in traffic congestion, excessive off-site parking, or unauthorized use of parking facilities developed to serve surrounding property. m. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, loading facilities, landscaping and other development features prescribed in Title 22 of the Municipal Code. n. The amount of signage proposed is reasonable and appropriate for the applicant's use. SECTION 3. The Council of the City of Santa Clarita has reviewed and considered the environmental information contained in the Initial Study, and determines that it is in compliance with CEQA and that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
