Resolution No. 91- 1618PC
Conditional Use Permit 91 -1100
Zone Variance 91 -1101

to other properties in the immediate area and that other
properties utilize their entire ground floor area for
permitted retail and service uses; and
2. That such variance is not necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by
other property similarly situated but which is denied to
the property in question in that the property owner may
utilize the entire ground floor space for any permitted
retail use without subdividing the existing store into two
units; and other similarly zoned and improved properties
have not been allowed to be divided into additional com-
mercial units; and
3. That the granting of the variance will be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent
property in that the creation of an additional commercial
unit would create an additional demand for parking, which
would adversely impact surrounding businesses in the
immediate area. Additionally, the proposed office use
would not contribute to the retail nature of the C -1 Zone;
and
4. That there are no special circumstances as provided in
Section 65906 of the California Government Code in that
the property is not of any unusual size or shape which
would warrant the granting of a variance.
Section 2. This project should not result in any signifi-
cant effect upon the environment and a Negative Declaration has
been prepared in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines.
The initial statement as prepared indicates there is no poten-
tial for adverse impact to the environment as it relates to all
wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related
ecological communities, including the habitat upon which the
wildlife depends for its continued viability.
Section 3. Accordingly, Conditional Use Permit 91 -1100
and Zone Variance No. 91 -1101 are denied.
Section 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.
