and site planning that reflects the nature of the site and the
surrounding area through the following:
a. Incorporating roof forms and facades that provide building
articulation create visual interest, and reduce the appearance
of uniform building massing. The project incorporates flat roof

adjacent development particularly historic structures and
sensitive land uses.The project forms a distinct edge along the
street by creating a new architectural design and new
Landscaping adjacent to First Street. The new building
placement and scale and landscaping throughout the site will
also screen the rear parking Lot from the public right-of-way.

be supported by infrastructure improvements paid for by the
developer. The project site was previously developed and is
supported by existing infrastructure.

project is exempt from CEQA per Section 15303 of the State
CEQA Guidelines for infill development projects.

CUP for the drive-thru, the Planning Commission must determine
whether it can be found that the location and general appearance will
not impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the
present or future development therein, the occupancy thereof, or the
community as a whole, and that the establishment of the proposed use
