NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the Town of
Danville approve the grant of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance and
approval of the Development Plan per the conditions contained herein, and makes the
following findings in support of the Development Plan:
PAGE I OF RESOLUTION NO. 92-02
1. The proposed project is consistent with the Danville 2005 General Plan.
The proposed development will constitute a commercial environment of sustained
desirability and stability, and will be in harmony with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood and community.
The previously certified EIR prepared for the Dougherty Road Area General Plan
Amendment Study fully discussed potential impacts associated with development
of the Tassajara Ranch property, satisfying the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act, based on the following specific findings;
Contra Costa County adopted findings regarding the Environmental Impact
Report through adoption of the Board of Supervisors Resolution 85/133
and Planning Commission Resolution 47-1984 (SR), which jointly served to
establish mitigation measures for impacts associated with the development
for the project, and
bo
Pursuant to those mitigation measures, additional studies related to soils
and geology, and traffic have been completed identifying specific mitigation
measures which will be incorporated into the project, and
C0
Use of the prior EIR as a "Program EIR" is appropriate based on the
following;
(1) feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the EIR for
the Dougherty Road Area General Plan Amendment Study have been
incorporated, (2) subsequent changes in the project, including a reduction
of units to allow retention of a greater section of Tassajara Creek as an open
channel, have been made to lessen project related impacts, (3) there have
not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the project was initially reviewed which would require important revisions
of the prior EIR, and (4) no new information of substantial importance to
the project has become available which would require an additional or
supplemental EIR.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, that the Planning Commission makes the following
findings in support of the Sign Review application:
ao
The signage is consistent in character with the Town's commercial design
guidelines, is compatible with project architecture, and is no larger than
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 92-02
bo
Co
do
eo
f0
necessary for adequate identification.
The signage will serve primarily to identify the business, establishment or
type of activity conducted on the premises, or the product, service or
interest being exhibited or offered for sale, rent or lease on the premises.
The signage will not excessively compete for the public's attention.
The signage will be harmonious with the materials, color, texture, size,
shape, height, location, design and in proportion with the architectural style
of the building, property or environment of which they are a part.
The design of the signage will be consistent with professional graphic and
structural standards.
Signage illumination will be at the lowest level consistent with adequate
identification and readability.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, that the Planning Commission makes the following
findings in support of the sign exception:
no
b0
The proposed exception conforms as closely as practicable to the
regulations pertaining to sign size, number, and location;
The proposed exception is not inconsistent with the intent and purpose of
the sign regulations and
1)
Strict adherence to the sign regulations does not allow adequate
identification of the site because of the site's location,
configuration and the lack of a monument sign on the premise.
2)
The applicant is not permitted to install a monument sign on the
premises in the future.
