AVENUE AND LOYOLA STREET (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
CASE NO. P97-0056).
WHEREAS, Marino Associates for Derrel's Mini-Storage, has filed a written
application to allow a mini-warehouse storage project containing 215,000 square feet of storage
space in 20 single story structures, and a two-story, 2,370 square foot office/caretaker's
residence structure on 7.35 acres, for that site located along the south side of Columbus Street
generally between Wenatchee Avenue and Loyola Street, as shown on Exhibit "B"; and
WHEREAS, the mini-warehouse storage project is a conditionally permitted use in
the Planned Commercial Development zone; and
WHEREAS, Section 17.54.020 A. 4 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code allows the
concurrent approval of a Planned Commercial Development zoning district and a conditional
use permit when the proposed use is conditionally permitted within the requested Planned
Commercial Development zone; and
WHEREAS, for the above-described amendment, an Initial Study was conducted,
and it was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the
environment, and a Negative Declaration with mitigations was prepared; and
WHEREAS, the law and regulations relating to the preparation and adoption of
Negative Declarations as set forth in CEQA and City of Bakersfield's CEQA Implementation
Procedures have been duly followed by city staff and the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 57-97 on June 19, 1997, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of this Conditional Use Permit subject to mitigation measures listed in
Exhibit "A" and this Council has fully considered the findings made by the Planning Commission
as set forth in that resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Bakersfield, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 65355 of the Government Code, conducted and held a public hearing on
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1997, on the above described proposed amendment to the
Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, notice of time and place
of the hearing having been given at least ten (10) calendar days before the hearing by
publication in the Bakersfield Californian, a local newspaper of general circulation; and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered and hereby makes the following findings:
1. All required public notices have been given.
ORIGINAL
2. The provi~..,ns of CEQA and the City of Bakers..~ld CEQA Implementation
Procedures have been followed.
3. The proposed use is essential or desirable to the public welfare.
4. The proposed use is in harmony with the goals, objectives and policies of
the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan.
5. As conditioned, the mini-warehouse storage facility proposal is consistent
with the intent and purpose of the City of Bakersfield's Zoning Ordinance.
6. As conditioned, the mini-warehouse storage facility proposal is compatible
with existing and planned land uses in the vicinity.
7. Based on the absence of evidence in the record as required by Section
21082.2 of the State of California Public Resources Code (CEQA) for the purpose of
documenting significant effects, it is the conclusion of the Lead Agency that this project will
result in impacts that fall below the threshold of significance with regard to wildlife resources
and, therefore, must be granted a "de minimis" exemption in accordance with Section 711 of
the State of California Fish and Game Code. Additionally, the assumption of adverse effect is
rebutted by the above-referenced absence of evidence in the record and the Lead Agency's
decision to prepare a Negative Declaration for this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals, incorporated herein, are true and correct.
2. The Negative Declaration is hereby approved.
3. As to the Conditional Use Permit for the mini-warehouse storage facility for
that site shown on map marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated as though fully
set forth, for property located along the south side of Columbus Street generally between
Wenatchee Avenue and Loyola Street on the west side of Calloway Drive between Meacham
Road and Rosedale Highway, the City Council hereby approves such conditional use permit
subject to the mitigation measures shown on Exhibit "A".
