(See page 5 of Agenda Report; Page 2-1, Section 4.0 of EIR & Initial Study) 3. Circulation Element - Goal No. 3 (pp. 7) "Separate vehicular traffic associated with commercial, manufacturing and agricultural uses from residential neighborhoods." The Applications propose to amend an existing use in an area that is already substantially separated from residential neighborhoods. Approval of the amendment will not impact traffic within existing residential neighborhoods as mitigation measures have been required to address project impacts. (See Page 7 of August 24, 2004 Agenda Report; See page 1-8 & Section 5.5 of EIR) 4. Noise Element - General Objective & Principle No. 2 (pp 5-7) "To achieve and maintain an environment where noise is compatible with human activities interacting with a variety of land uses./ Control noise exposure from future noise generators so the ambient environment will be kept within acceptable limits. of Approval of the Applications will not generate significant noise sources as conformance with mitigation measures imposed on the Project will mitigate noise impacts to less than significant levels in compliance with City noise standards. (See pages 6&7 of August 24, 2004 Agenda Report; Section 5.3 of EIR & Response to Comments Re Noise Issues). 5. Finally, the City Council finds that with respect to the remaining goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan, the proposed Project will not directly conflict with any goals, policies and objectives that are fundamental, mandatory and unambiguous. B. The proposed Project, together with the conditions applicable thereto will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity of the Subject Site. The proposed amendment authorizes (1) the installation and operation of a metal shredder as an expansion to an existing scrap metal facility; (2) the construction of an approximate 30' X 250" metal building; and (3) an increase in the volume of railroad transloading. The proposed Project is (1) consistent with the general plan and land use designations for this area; (2) compatible with surrounding uses with the implementation of all mitigation measures; and (3) generates additional job opportunities in the City of Colton. C. The proposed use complies with each of the applicable provisions of Title 18 of the Colton Municipal Code. Except for the proposed overheight wall on the southerly property line, the Project complies or will comply, with adherence to mitigation measures, with all requirements of the Colton Zoning Ordinance (Title 18). (See pages 2-5 of August 24, 2005 Agenda Report) SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the staff report, the attachments to the staff report and EIR (including the addenda), the City Council finds that the proposed 8 -foot wall on top of a 5 - foot high berm ("Proposed Southerly Fence") complies with the requirements for perimeter walls and fences contained in Section 18.38.040(C) for the following reasons: A. Colton Municipal Code, §18.38.040(C) provides that "the height of screening for all storage areas or industrial operations shall be eight feet for all zones." RVPUB\MXM\684167.1 - 3 -
