RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit and Major Site Plan Review Application No. UP-24-0006 as shown in the proposed plans (Attachment IV), based on the Findings (Attachment II) and subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment III); and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (Attachments V and VI, respectively), which was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

SUMMARY
The proposed project would result in the removal of a 14,640-square-foot truck terminal with related parking area and refueling station to allow the construction of a new 45,336-square-foot truck terminal with related site improvements, including new parking and circulation areas, construction of a covered refueling station, and trash enclosure. The existing parking lot at the front of the property adjacent to Claremont Court would be preserved and modified slightly to meet current design standards for off-street parking. Truck terminals require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate in the General Industrial (IG) zoning district. Additionally, the project requires Major Site Plan Review because the proposed plans do not meet the minimum on-site open space requirement for a new industrial development. This requirement can be reduced through the provision of on-site amenities that offset the proposed reduction, but only through Major Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission.
In addition to the project entitlements, the Commission is being asked to review and adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that was prepared for the project in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study identified a small number of potential environmental impacts that could result from the construction of the project in the areas of Hazards/Hazardous Materials and Noise; however, the MND prescribes mitigation measures that would reduce all the identified impacts to less-than-significant levels. These mitigation measures have been added to the conditions of approval, included in Attachment III.
