A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 179 TO ALLOW THE
PERIODIC PARKING OF A MOBILE DIAGNOSTIC
IMAGING FACILITY AT 29000 SOUTH WESTERN
AVENUE.
WHEREAS, on April 2, 1990, the City Council approved
Conditional Use Permit No. 146, and adopted an associated
Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. 576 to
allow the periodic parking of mobile diagnostic imaging vans at
29000 South Western Avenue, for a period of one year, with
extension privileges subject to the review and approval of the
Director of Environmental Services (now known as the Director of
Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement); and,
WHEREAS, the applicant allowed the permit to expire on April
2, 1991, without requesting an extension from the Director of
Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement; and,
WHEREAS, new applications were filed (Conditional Use Permit
No. 179, and Environmental Assessment No. 660) in November of
1993 for the project to allow the use to continue; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000
et. seq. ("CEQA"'), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's
Local CEQA Guidelines, the City prepared an Initial Study and
determined that there was no substantial effect on the
environment. Accordingly, a draft Negative Declaration was
prepared and notice of that fact was given by the manner required
by law; and,
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration associated with
Environmental Assessment No. 660 was prepared in compliance with
CEQA requirements, and that the Planning Commission adopted a
Negative Declaration through P.C. Resolution No. 94- on
April 26, 1994, and considered the information and conclusions
contained in said document prior to taking action on this
project; and,
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held before the
Planning Commission at its regular meeting on April 26, 1994, at
which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to
be heard and present evidence and testimony;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the subject site is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate the intended use, since the parking lot is
to be used after hours only, and provides sufficient parking area
(over 65 spaces) for the mobile diagnostic imaging trailer, as
well as customer parking.
Section 2: That access to the site is from Western Avenue,
a major commercial thoroughfare, whose traffic capacity is
adequate to serve the site without suffering significant impacts
to its level of service.
Section 3: That, in approving the subject use at the
specific location, there will be no significant adverse effect on
the adjacent properties from the proposed use due to the
conditions of approval in the attached Exhibit "A," which require
a specific location for the parking of the mobile diagnostic
imaging trailer, which limit its hours of operation, and which
limit the length of the permit life in a manner which grants the
Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement the right to
limit the length of the approval, if necessary.
Section 4: That the granting of the Conditional Use Permit
will not be contrary to the objectives of the General Plan since
the proposed use is commercial, and the site is designated and
zoned for commercial uses.
Section 6: Based on the facts contained in this Resolution,
in the Staff Report, Minutes, and other components of the
legislative record, in the Initial Study, the Negative
Declaration, and in the public comments received, the Planning
Commission of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby approves
Conditional Use Permit No. 179, subject to conditions listed in
Exhibit "A," attached hereto, which are deemed necessary to
protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the
area.
ADOPTED PASSED, APPROVED, and A 7 D this 26thc day of ril, 1994.
