The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2014 -03 was filed by G -Team Inc., of Golubitsky Fencing Center (GFC), requesting authorization to establish and operate arecreational /sport facility for foil fencing within an existing 6,000 square foot tenant space in the Tustin Business Park (formerly Koll Center) located at 1652 Edinger Avenue, Suite B. B. That the proposed use is not listed as a permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited use within the Industrial (M) District regulations. Therefore, a UD 2014 -02 is necessary to determine if the proposed use would be permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited in this district. C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for UD 2014 -02 in conjunction with CUP 2014 -03 on August 26, 2014, by the Planning Commission. D. That pursuant to Section 9298b of the Tustin City Code (TCC), the Planning Commission is authorized to determine whether or not the use is similar in character to the particular uses or plans allowed in the (M) district. In this case, the proposed recreational /sport facility use may be determined to be similar to instructional schools, which are conditionally permitted in this district. Similarities in the uses include parking, hours of operation, and instructor -led classes. A decision to approve the request may be supported by the following findings: 1. Effect upon the public health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood involved and the City at large. Recreational /sport facility use in the Industrial (M) District is not anticipated to create negative impacts on the public health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood in that the use will be considered on a case by case basis with the approval of a CUP and is required to provide sufficient parking, the hours of operation are typically not at the same time as other uses, and the maximum potential class sizes may be limited. Resolution No. 4262 UD 2014 -02 Page 2 2. Effect upon traffic and parking conditions. Parking requirements for recreational uses must be met prior to conditional approval. This may include requirement for parking and traffic analysis studies to be submitted and conditions to be included so as to prevent future negative impacts generated by the use. 3. Effect upon the orderly development of the area in question and the City at large, in regard to the general planning of the whole community. TCC requires all uses be conducted within a building. Accordingly, all activities of a recreational /sport facility must be operated inside of the existing building and parking or traffic impacts associated with the business based upon the hours of operation and the location of which the use would be located would be reviewed and conditioned prior to approval. Therefore, adherence to the TCC would ensure this type of use will not have an adverse effect upon the orderly development of the area or the City, and does not set any type of general zoning precedent that could have an adverse effect on the community as a whole. 4. All other pertinent facts Recreational /sport facility uses typically avoid peak hour traffic conditions because classes are scheduled on weekday evenings and on weekends. Therefore, typical peak hour traffic generated for these types of uses would occur at off -peak times. E. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act). II. The Planning Commission hereby approves UD 2014 -02 to establish recreational /sport facilities as a conditionally permitted use within the Industrial (M) District.
