NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of

respect to the proposed Conditional Use Permit Amendment:
SECTION 1. CEQA. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. The proposed project has been found Categorically Exempt under Class 1, Section 15301,
existing facilities, of the California Environmental Quality Act.
SECTION 2. Findings. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Amendment:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan; and
Fact: The proposed tool rental center expansion center consistent with the Commercial
Park designation of the General Plan and the General Plan Land Use Element Goals
LOC 13 for a sound economic base and LOC 14 for attracting new business, Policies
14.2 and Land Use Program 1.1.7.
2. The proposed project satisfies all applicable provisions of the Title (Zoning Ordinance);
and
Fact: As conditioned, the project satisfies the provisions of the Atascadero Municipal
Code. The existing parking is adequate to serve the proposed use.
The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of the use will not, because of
the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the
health, safety, or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in
the vicinity of the use; and
Fact: The proposed used is not detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general
public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental
or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use.
4. That the proposed project will not be inconsistent with the character or the immediate
neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development; and
Fact: The proposed use will provide a community benefit. Residents and patrons in
need of tools or large equipment can now rent for a limited period, rather than make a
much larger investment and purchase the equipment in need.
5. That the proposed project will not generate an increase in noise or a volume of traffic
beyond the safe capacity of all roads providing access to the project, either existing or
to be improved in conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic volume of
the surrounding neighborhood that would result from full development in accordance
with the Land Use Element.
Fact: The project is an approximately 5,000 SF expansion of the existing business
located off El Camino Real and the Santa Cruz/San Ramon Highway 101 offramp,
which are heavily traveled roads in the City. The use is consistent with surrounding
uses and will not bring excessive traffic to the area.
