PUBLIC COMMENTS

The public is permitted to address the Planning Commission on items that are on the Consent Calendar, Requests for Future Agenda Items, or items not on the agenda. Public comments for scheduled agenda items should wait until that time. To accommodate those speaking in person and via Zoom, we will call upon those in-person first, and then to Zoom. If necessary, we will repeat that process.

In Person: Please file a speaker’s card with the Administrative Secretary on the form provided on the counter at the back of the Chambers.

Zoom: Please use the Raise Your Hand feature in Zoom during this item to speak under Public Comments.

Persons are required to limit their remarks to three (3) minutes unless an extension of time is granted by the Chairperson subject to approval of the Planning Commission. Speakers desiring answers to questions should direct them to the Planning Commission and, if relevant, they may direct them to the appropriate staff member. Speakers can also follow up directly with staff during regular City business hours.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMMISSION’S ACTIONS ARE FINAL UNLESS AN APPEAL IS FILED WITH THE CITY CLERK WITHIN TEN CALENDAR DAYS.

CONSENT CALENDAR

All matters listed on the consent calendar are considered routine in nature and will be enacted by one motion. If discussion is required, that particular item will be removed from the consent calendar and will be considered separately

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Persons addressing the Planning Commission are asked to file a speaker card or raise their hands using the Zoom feature.  The Commission may adopt reasonable regulations at the onset of the public hearing to facilitate public testimony.  These regulations may include time limits.  In the absence of such regulations, the public hearing shall follow the protocol for Public Comments.  

E.1

An amendment to a conditional use permit (CUP 00-09-A2) to allow modifications to the existing ARCO gas station and carwash located at 2250 Balfour Road.

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 24-007, approving the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 00-09 (CUP 00-09-A2) to allow a modification to the existing ARCO gas station and carwash located at 2250 Balfour Road, as conditioned.

  A mitigated negative declaration (MND) was prepared for the original project approval in 2001 in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the impacts of the proposed project fall within the scope of the original MND. A CEQA consistency analysis for the proposed project was prepared, which found that the proposed project would not create any impacts beyond those anticipated in connection with the original project. Therefore, the previously-approved MND remains valid and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, which identifies the requirements for which subsequent analysis, no further environmental review is required.

E.2

Application for a Conditional Use Permit amendment to modify the hours of operation and enrollment for Vineyard Academy Christian School, as well as a new pedestrian connection and driveway along Grant Street.

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 24-006 approving a conditional use permit amendment (CUP 08-31-A5) to allow for modified hours of operation, increased enrollment from 160 to 230 (including new preschool aged children), and a new pedestrian connection and driveway (right-in and right-out only) along Grant Street for Vineyard Academy Christian School, located south of Grant Street between Adams Lane and Lone Oak Road (APN 016-040-009, 016-040-010, and 016-040-011), based on findings of fact, as conditioned.

  The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section §15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed changes would have a significant effect on the environment. The only physical change to the project site would include a new pedestrian connection and driveway (right-in and right-out only) along Grant Street. This area is void of natural habitat and has been previously disturbed and paved. There are no potential environmental impacts associated with this physical site improvement. Therefore, the project is exempt from CEQA review.

E.3

Consideration and possible amendment of a conditional use permit (CUP 00-04-A1) for the Deer Ridge clubhouse, located at 801 Foothill Drive, south of Balfour Road (APN 007-100-131).

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 24-008, approving an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 00-04 (CUP 00-04-A1) for the Deer Ridge clubhouse, located at 801 Foothill Drive, south of Balfour Road (APN 007-100-131).

  Amendment of the conditional use permit is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines and; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
