SCE — for public utilities, ingress To remain This easement allows SCE to access its overhead and egress, and incidental utilities on the west side of the project site. No purposes (1987) — to allow access modification is required. to overhead utility lines In addition to these five easements, there exists a drainage easement entirely on the adjacent site at 1800 & 1820 E. Garry Avenue. This easement is for the benefit of the project site, allowing drainage from the project site onto the adjacent property. However, this drainage easement will no longer be necessary, because once the site is redeveloped, the proposed project will capture all its runoff onsite and will no longer depend on cross -property drainage. Comment 7: This comment states that the CUP may not be granted because GPOPA's members are the beneficiaries of utility easements over the project site. Response 7: See response to Comment 6, above.

The- requested" Zoning' district amendment to Light Industrial (M1) would establish consistency with the General Plan land use designation and would allow the requested project through approval of a CUP. to addition, the Industrial/Flex (FLEX) General. Plan land use designation was established in order to encourage a range of low -impact industrial and limited commercial uses in the area in which the subject site is located. The project has been designed to minimize impacts onto surrounding properties. Moreover, as a result of the Sunshine Ordinance community meeting process and feedback provided by the adjacent property's representatives, the project's site plan was rotated clockwise 90 degrees to orient the loading docks away from the adjacent property. Following this revision, the applicant further revised the plans to note installation of gates and height -restriction bars to prevent large trucks from circulating on the east side of the project site, which would further minimize noise and vibration impacts on the adjacent property. These measures are all consistent with the purpose and goals of the FLEX land use designation for the area in which the subject property is located.
