F,XHTRTT A FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT TOWN HALL FACILITY -26379 FREMONT ROAD CUP18-0003 AND SD18-0050 The proposed use or facility is properly located in relation to the community as a whole, with surrounding land uses, and with transportation and service facilities in the vicinity. Town Hall has occupied the subject property for almost 60 years, is located along a main collector roadway, and it predates the existence of all neighboring residences. Previous surveys of other Town owned properties found that the existing site was the most suitable for administrative and legislative purposes. Given the extremely high land costs and built - out condition of the Town, it is not feasible to consider purchasing a new location for the Town Hall and an addition to the existing facility is the most feasible and cost-effective method to accommodate future administrative and staffing needs. 2. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and such other features as may be required by this chapter or, will be needed to assure that the proposed use will be reasonably compatible with land uses normally permitted in the surrounding area. The site is 2.72. acres in size, and the existing Town Hall facilities have been operating on the property since 2005. The proposed project to add a net 1,512 square feet of floor area for new staff offices, meeting rooms and other employee facilities can be accommodated on the property within existing setbacks and the existing parking facilities are adequate to accommodate any future increase in employees. The proposed addition, uses, parking and driveway access remain compatible with the residential uses in the surrounding area and measures are proposed to minimize visual, lighting and noise impacts of the institutional use from neighbors. The site for the proposed use will be served by streets and highways of adequate width and pavement to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. Fremont Road is designated as a collector roadway and can accommodate any future traffic and delivery requirements anticipated by the proposed addition to Town Hall. The existing Fremont Road/Concepcion intersection and driveway access currently operates at a level of service "A" (LOS) and is adequate to accommodate traffic to and from Town Hall, 4. The proposed use will not adversely affect the abutting property or the permitted use thereof. The proposed addition includes comprehensive conditions of approval to assure that abutting property is not adversely impacted. These include land use and operational limitations, minimal lighting to minimize visibility to neighbors; noise attenuation measures, and additional landscape screening. Resolution 74-19 Page 3
