The proposal is an update to the existing storage facility that will �onsolidate nine (9) ;
structures totaling 54,186 sq. ft., and replace the facili�y with a new Public S�orage '
facility into two (2) buildings measuring a total of 263,671 sq.ft. The project provides �
new landscaping screening from adjacent residential and offices uses. The building has
been designed to blend in�o the surrounding area by creating an updated building design i
that incorporates different building materials (i.e. spandrel,glass, metal panels, etc.)and '
updated landscaping throughout the site. Therefore, the proposal will not be detrimental
or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
b) The proposed development will be located and conducted in a rnanrier in accord
with the Cupertino Comp�ehensive General Plan and the purpose of the City's
zoning ordinances.
The General Plan land use designation for �he property is Industrial/Residential. The
existing and proposed use (a storage facility) is consistent with the General Plan. The
subject property is zoned as Planned Development Zoning District with General
Commercial, Light Industrial and Residential usPs (P(CG, ML, RES)). The underlying
ML zoning district permits warehousang uses. Therefore, as a warehouse use in the
industrial zone, the proposed project is a permitted use consistent with t�he planned
development zoning district. The proposed development has met the applicable
developrnent sfandards of the general plan and zoning distract such as height, setbacks,
and parlcing regulations. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the
purpose of the City's zoning ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on June 18,2019, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to
receive public testimony on the Project, including the categorical exemption in CEQA
Guidelines section 15332 and the exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15183 and
reviewed and considered the information contained in the staff report pertaining to the
Project, all other pertinent documents, and all written and oral s�atements received by the
City Council at or prior to the public hearing; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED that after careful consideration of the CEQA
exemption memorandum, maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and oth.er evidence submitted
in this inatter, subject to the conditians which are enumerated in this resolution beginning
on PAGE 3 thereof,.
1. The City Council exercises its independent judgment and determines that the Project
is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332 and the exemption
• in CEQA.Guidelines section 15183. The exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15332
applies to an infill development project which 1) is consistent with the applicable
General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as the
Resolution No.19-071
� Page 3
applicable Zoning designations and regulations; 2) occurs within the City limits on a
site of less than 5 acres in size that is substantially surrounded by urban uses; 3) is
located on a site that has no value for endangered,rare or threatened species;4)would
not result in any significant effects related to traffic,noise, air quality or water quality;
and 5) can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The
exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15183 applies to a project that is consistent �
with General Plan designations and zoning for fihe site described in the General Plan,
the pote�tial impacts of which would be substantially mitigated by the imposition of
uniformly applied standard conditions of approval. The General Plan Arnendment,
Housing Element Update, and Associated Rezoning Final Environ.mental Impact
Report(SCH No. 2014032007); certified by the City Council on December 4, 2014, was
prepared consistent with the requirernents for applicability of strearnlining under
