RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the Town of Danville Revised Final
Development Plan request DEV20-0003 per the conditions contained herein, and makes
the following findings in support of this action:
FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
1.The proposed development plan will not be detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the Town, in that the site is already developed and is connected
to all necessary public utilities and is covered and/or has access to all necessary
pubic services and amenities;
2.The proposed development plan will not adversely affect the orderly development
of property within the Town, in that the project consists of a previously approved
commercial office building which is consistent and compatible with the
surrounding land use patterns;
3.The proposed development plan will not adversely affect the preservation of
property values and the protection of the tax base within the Town, in that the
project will result in the continuation of existing offices uses, and will result in the
conversion of a vacant theater portion of the building to office space;
4.The proposed development plan will not adversely affect the policy and goals as
set by the General Plan, in that the proposed office use is consistent with the site’s
Commercial – Limited Office General Plan Land Use Designation, and the site’s P-
1; Planned Unit Development District zoning;
5.The proposed development plan shall not create a nuisance and/or enforcement
problem within the neighborhood or community, in that the project includes an
existing office building and will continue to operate in compliance with all Town
ordinances and policies;
6.The proposed land development plan does not encourage marginal development
within the neighborhood, in that the project consists of an existing office building
which will continue to be an attractive and well maintained property.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1.This approval (DEV20-0003) invalidates and supersedes Conditions of Approval
contained within Planning Commission Resolution No. 2000-26 and allows for the
conversion of the 10,932 square foot performing arts theater portion of the building
to be converted to office use and removes all parking restriction related to the
concurrent office use of the entire building. The previously approved
development plan approval limited the office use and theater use to not operate
concurrently due to parking limitations. The site is located at 500 La Gonda Way
(Town of Danville).
