NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings as established by Section 9-2.317 of Title 9, Land Use Code of the City of San Juan Capistrano: PC Resolution 14-09-30-01 2 September 30, 2014 1. The proposed use and design are consistent with the Land Use Element Policy 1.2, in that it encourages commercial and tourists oriented development which is compatible with the land use and improves the generation of sales tax and 3.1 General Commercial land use designation which permits retail business activities serving a community wide area and population or broader market; and, 2. The proposed use and design are consistent with the purpose, intent, and standards of the Land Use Code and any applicable specific plan or comprehensive development plan, except as otherwise approved, because off- sale alcoholic beverages are expressly allowed subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the Town Center zoning district; and, 3. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate all yards, open spaces, setbacks, walls and fences, parking and loading areas, fire and building code considerations, trash and recycling enclosures, and other features pertaining to the application because the site is not being modified in any way and the project consists only of establishing a new use within an existing structure; and, 4. The proposed use and the on-going operation of the use are compatible with abutting properties and the permitted uses thereof, and will not generate excessive light, noise, vibration, odors, visual blight, traffic, or other disturbances, nuisances, or hazards because, as conditioned, the use will be similar in nature to other businesses operating in the vicinity, will keep similar hours of operation, and will be of relatively small scale; and, 5. The site for the proposed use has adequate access and parking to support the use because the site is located within the City's Historic Town Center Master Plan "Park-Once" boundary which satisfies all parking requirements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby approves the project subject to those conditions of approval established by Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
