SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered all of the evidence submitted into the administrative record which includes but is not limited to: 1. Reports and presentations of project -related data and analysis prepared by the Community Development Department; and 2. The Temple City Municipal Code, General Plan, Subdivision Map Act, and all other applicable regulations and codes; and 3. Public comments, both written and oral, received or submitted at or prior to the public hearing; and 4. Testimony and comments submitted by the applicant and representatives in both written and oral form at or prior to the public hearing; and 5. All other related documents received or submitted at or prior to the public hearing. SECTION 2. This resolution is made with reference to the following prefacing facts as more fully set forth in the administrative record: 1. On January 3, 2019, the applicant submitted the application. 2. On January 31, 2019, the application was deemed complete. 3. On March 12, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the application. 4. Notice of the Planning Commission public hearing was posted at the Council Chambers. 5. Notice of the Planning Commission public hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation at least ten days prior to the hearing. Resolution No. 19-2531 PC PL 19-1653 6340 Rosemead Blvd. Page 2 of 4 6. Notice of the Planning Commission public hearing was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the property at least ten days prior to the hearing. 7. Notice of the public hearing satisfied the noticing requirements set forth in Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091. 8. The project site is located in the C-2, General Commercial Zone of the Temple City Zoning Code. 9. The project site is designated Commercial by the General Plan. SECTION 3. Based upon the information above, the Planning Commission finds: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, topography and circumstances. The site is regular in shape, level in grade, and the existing supermarket building already contains a vacant office space which had previously been used by another money transfer business. Therefore, this finding can be made. 2. That the site does have sufficient access to streets and highways, adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed use. The property is located at the corner of Longden Avenue and Rosemead Boulevard. There are three access driveways to the property - one on Longden Avenue and two on Rosemead Boulevard. The existing shopping center includes a supermarket and several retail businesses and restaurants. The supermarket had an un -permitted money transfer business inside that is now closed. Customers will primarily be supermarket customers. There has not been a noticeable decrease in visitors to this shopping center since the previous money transfer business closed, therefore it can be concluded that allowing a new business to operate at this location will not significantly increase traffic to the center. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon the use, enjoyment or valuation of adjacent or neighboring properties or upon the public welfare. Resolution No. 19-2531 PC PL 19-1653 6340 Rosemead Blvd. Page 3 of 4 A commercial unit shared by more than one business requires a conditional use permit. The existing supermarket has had this type of incidental business for an unknown number of years. The previous business had operated without any complaints known to the City and it can be concluded that a similar business using the same sized space will not cause any adverse impacts to the surrounding community. Operating hours will be limited to those of the supermarket. No changes will be made to the existing space or to the shopping center parking lot. The existing facilities can accommodate this business. There is adequate parking on-site for the business. Several conditions of approval have been recommended to ensure that no enlargement of the existing facilities or reduction in parking will result from this project. Therefore, this finding can be made. SECTION 4. This project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. SECTION S. Accordingly, File No. PL 19-1653, a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a money transfer business at 6340 Rosemead Boulevard is approved, subject to the applicant complying with all requirements of the Temple City Municipal Code and the conditions as set forth in Exhibit A of this Resolution. SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. EXHIBITS A.
