Use Element Policy 2.8 promotes the rehabilitation of commercial properties and encourages increase levels of capital investment. The proposed trade school use will involve interior improvements of a vacant tenant space representing increased levels of capital investment in the property. The re- tenanting of a vacant space with a viable business further supports the rehabilitation of this property. Land Use Element Policy 5.4 Supports land uses which are consistent with the Land Use Plan of the Land Use Element. The M1 zoning district allows trade schools subject to a conditional use permit, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning and the Land Use Plan of the Land Use Element. Land Use Element Policy 5.5 encourages development which is compatible with and supportive of surrounding land uses. The addition of a trade school will provide additional educational opportunities for the surrounding businesses and residents. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15301.
