Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-12 September 26, 2016 Page 4 State for high crime. The Police Department contends that the conditions of approval and operational standards applicable to after-hours operations will mitigate any potential negative impacts to the surrounding community. Further, the use will operate indoors, minimizing potential noise impacts associated with an after-hours use. Public Notification The project site is located within the Casa de Santiago Neighborhood Association and in close proximity to the Bristol Memory Coalition Neighborhood Association, Morrison/Eldridge Park Neighborhood Association, and Fisher Park Neighborhood Association. Staff notified the representatives of the neighborhood associations, who identified no concerns with the proposed project. The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and notices were sent to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, written and electronic communications stating concerns with the subject project had been received from respective members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The project proposes to allow the 24-hour operation of an existing retail market from an existing structure. No expansion of square footage or modification to the exterior of the building is proposed as part of this project. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment. Strategic Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 - Economic Development, Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-12 as conditioned.
