EXHIBIT" 1 "
RESOLUTION NO. PC-97-06
Findings Pursuant to
Section 30.74.070 (Use Permits)
of the Encinitas Municipal Code:
Standard: Section 30.74.070.B (Use Permits) states that an application for a use permit shall be
approved unless fmdings of fact are made based upon the information presented in the application
or during the public hearings which support one or more of the following conclusions:
1. The location, size, design or operating characteristics of the proposed project will be
incompatible with or will adversely affect or will be detrimental to adjacent uses, residences,
buildings, structures or natural resources, with consideration given to, but not limited to:
a. The inadequacy of public facilities, services and utilities to serve the proposed
project;
I
b. The unsuitability of the site for the type and intensity of use or deve1opment which
is proposed; and
c. The harmful effect, if any, upon environmental quality and natural resources of the
City.
lam: The application is a request for Major Use Pemùt Modification to allow individuals
under 21 years of age into an existing' billiards establishment with on-site consumption of
alcoholic beverages' (beer only) given proper State Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control approval of a Type 40 License change.
Discussion: . All required public facilities and utilities are available to the site in conjunction
with the existing development on the property. All roadway improvements, water service,
sewer service and landscaping are currently provided within the existing commercial
development. No evidence has been submitted to indicate that the on-going billiards
operation has caused any adverse affect or has been detrimental to any adjacent uses,
, residences, or other neighborhood resources. The Major Use Permit Modification has been
conditioned to allow individuals under 21 years of age within the existing billiards
establishment ttom the open of business until 7 p.m. unaccompanied by an adult 21 years of
age or older. After 7 p.m. all individuals under 21 years of age must be accompanied by
someone 21 years of age or older. All persons under 18 years of age are prohibited ttom the
establishment after 9 p.m. to closing.
Conclusion: Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that adequate public facilities,
services and utilities are available to the site and that the intensity of the modified use is
found to be compatible with the existing Commercial Center and with existing commercial
and residential development on adjacent properties. The project will pose no harmful effect
upon environmental quality and natural resources of the City.
2. The impacts of the proposed project will not adversely affect the policies of the Encinitas
General Plan or the provisions of the Municipal Code; and
3. The project complies with all other regulations, conditions or policies imposed by the
Municipal Code.
lam: The General Commercial Zone allows billiard establishments by right and the
associated sale of on-premise alcoholic beverages requires Major Use Permit approval
pursuant to Chapter 30:09 of the Municipal Code. Separate approval is required ttom the
State Department of Alcoholic Beverage. Control for licensing the sale of alcoholic
beverages.
Discussion: No evidence has been submitted to indicate that the use would adversely affect
the policies of the Encinitas General Plan or the provisiòns of the Municipal Code and, with
the issuance of the Major Use Permit Modification, the use complies with all other
regulations, conditions or policies imposed by the Municipal Code.
Conclusion: Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the Major Use Permit
Modification will not adversely affect the policies of the Encinitas General Plan or the
provisions of the Municipal Code; and that the Major Use Permit Modification approval
complies with all other regulations, conditions or policies imposed by the Municipal Code.
