thereunder., pursuant to Section 15315 of Article 19 of Chapter 3 of Division 13 of
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that, having
considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth below, and changes
and alterations which have been incorporated into and conditioned upon the proposed
project set forth in the application, there is no evidence before this Planning
Commission that the project proposed herein will have the potential of an adverse
effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based
upon substantial evidence, this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption
of adverse effects contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations.

hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project relates to a partially developed site, 5.02 acres in size located at
259 Gentle Spring Lane.
(b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of General
Commercial (C). It is within the Commercial Planned Development (CPD)
zone.
(c) Generally, the following uses surround the project site: to the west is the
freeway, to the south is multi -family development and to the north and east
is commercial development.
(d) The proposed project is a request for the subdivision of a 5.02 acre site into
3 parcels for existing and future commercial development.
(e) The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specified in Government Code Section 65451.
The General Plan land use designation for this site is General Commercial,
which provides for regional, freeway -oriented and/or community retail and

creating individual lots which are suitable for the existing and future
commercial development of the site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is
consistent with the General Plan.

(f) The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans. The design and improvement of the
v proposed project is generally already in place. The proposed subdivision will
fY
create two lots with existing development and one vacant lot. The size and
t� configuration of the proposed lots is suitable for the existing and future
commercial development of the site. The existing development on the
proposed lots will be in compliance with the floor area ratio requirements for
the General Commercial land use designation. Conditions of Approval have
been applied to this project requiring a fair share contribution to a traffic
signal, the maintenance and repair of the private roadway in front of the
project site and the continuing restriction of traffic to and from Prospector's
Road The required maintenance, replacement and repair of the existing
improvements, access restriction and contribution to the traffic signal further
the General Plan in providing for a safe and adequate transportation system.
(g) The site is physically suitable for the type of development. The project site is
5.02 acres. The site is relatively flat, has been graded and developed and all
improvements are in place. The site is adequate in size to accommodate the
existing development on the proposed separate lots and the future
development ofthe vacant site. The site accommodates the required parking,
drive aisles and the existing easements and has been developed in compliance
with the development standards for the zoning district in which the site is
located. Conditions have been applied to this project requiring approval of a
Parking Permit and the recordation of mutual access easements to ensure that
the individual lots will have adequate accessible parking and access to each
lot.
(h) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are unlikely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
fish or wildlife in their habitat.
The site has been previously cleared, graded and improved, and the
subdivision of the existing site into three lots will not create any additional
environmental impacts to the site. In compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), at the time of development of the vacant
lot it will be subject to separate environmental review.
Further, in compliance with CEQA it has been determined that there is no
evidence that the proposed subdivision will have the potential for an adverse
effect on the environment and it has been determined that this project is
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section
15315 of Article 19 of Chapter 3 of Division 13 of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations.
(i) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems. The proposed subdivision's design or
improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems due to the
following.
(1) The proposed subdivision is located on a developed, improved parcel
with all improvements and easements m place. A flood hazard area
was identified on the original parcel map which dedicates to the City
the right to restrict the erection of buildings or other structures within
this areas. This and all other easements including sewer and storm
drain easements will remain and be recorded along with the final map.
(2) No active faults transect the project site and it is not located within an
Alquist P; iolo Special Stu di;s Zone. Further, any new structures on
the site will be constructed in i.ccordanc e with the Uniform Building
Code, for seismic safety.
(3) The proposed project will comply with the standards of the Uniform
Fire Code and is subject to review by the Los Angeles County Fire
Department. Review by the Fire Department ensures that there is
appropriate access and turnarounds for fire equipment and fire
hydrants in appropriate locations.
O The design of the subdivision or the type of improvementswill not conflict.:
with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision.
Easements for utilities and a flood hazard area were designated on the
underlying map, including the restriction of ingress and egress from
Prospectors Road. Improvements are in place on the majority of the site. The
proposed subdivision of this site into three lots will not alter any of the
existing easements or on-site improvements. Conditions of Approval are
incorporated into the project requiring the continuation of these easements on
the proposed map, and requiring the abandonment of vehicular access to
Prospectors Road, subject to Fire Department approval.
