CUP Nos. 2010-13 and 2010-14 <br />September 13, 2010 <br />Page 4 <br />Public Outreach <br />On May 20, 2010, the applicant presented the proposed project to the Eastside Neighborhood during <br />their regularly scheduled meeting. The neighborhood was please to see additional investment in the <br />South Main Commercial corridor and expressed their support for the project. While they were <br />pleased to see that the vehicular access to Cypress Avenue will be closed off, they requested that a <br />pedestrian access be maintained, indicating that the neighbors of the area would probably be the <br />primary users of the new laundromat. <br />In summary, as conditioned, the project will not create negative impacts to the surrounding business <br />and residents; instead it will stabilize the South Main Commercial corridor by creating new long term <br />employment opportunities, provide for significant new investment in a commercial building, provide a <br />modern laundromat that will provide a desirable service to the community, and reduce the inventory of <br />vacant commercial spaces. Based upon the analysis of the project and the project's compatibility with <br />the City's General Plan and the standards adopted for laundromats and parking in the R2-B zoning <br />district, approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-13 as conditioned and Conditional Use Permit <br />No. 2010-14 as conditioned is recommended. <br />CEQA Compliance <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from <br />CEQA review per Section 15303, Class 3. The Class 3 exemption allows for conversion of small <br />structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the <br />structure. Categorical Exemption No. 2009-116 will be filed for this project. <br />Lucy Linns, AIA <br />Senior Pi nner <br />Verny Carvajal <br />Senior Planner <br />LL:jm <br />111reportslPC and ZA1eup10-13cup10-14 Laundry Systerns.pc
