attached in Exhibit A and based upon the following findings:
Negative Declaration
1. There is no substantial evidence that the proposed project has the potential
for creating significant environmental impacts. Potential traffic impacts are
mitigated by limiting the number of employees, clients, and the generation of
7 p. m. peak hour trips. Adequate on-site parking is available.
2. In the absence of substantial evidence that the use of this property for a
Developmentally Disabled Learning Center has the potential to create significant
environmental impacts, approval of a Negative Declaration is warranted.
Z90-2
1. The proposed zone change for the property is consistent with San Rafael
General Plan 2000. The use is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of General Commercial and intensity of development allowed in the
Northgate Activity Center.
2. The proposed zone change would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of the surrounding community or the City of San Rafael as a
whole in that the Disabled Learning Center is the only use that is permitted and it
is subject to discretionary approval.
