PROJECT NAME Cemetery District Maintenance Building

APPLICANT/OWNER Santa Maria Cemetery District

ADDRESS/LOCATION 1600 Block of Newlove Drive

DESCRIPTION A Planned Development Permit (PD2022 -0014) for the Santa Maria Cemetery District to construct a 2,550 -square-foot prefabricated maintenance equipment storage building with attached 544 -square- foot office on a 0.87-acre site in a PF (Public Facilities) district.

FINDINGS
The City Council hereby approves the following project in accordance with the application submitted and hereby makes the required findings in accordance with Section 12-35.203 of the Municipal Code, including the following:

A. That the project meets the vision, intent, and r equirements of the General Plan.

The new maintenance equipment storage building at the cemetery supports a necessary public service for the City of Santa Maria as it grows and develops, consistent with Land Use Element Goal L.U.2, to provide all necessary urban services and facilities for present and future City residents.

B. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and topogr aphy to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, and landscaping are adequate to properly adapt such use with the land and uses in the vicinity. The 0.87-acre site is adequately sized to accommodate the 3,094- square-foot prefabricated maintenance building and office which would be ancillary to the adjacent Santa Maria Cemetery District. The project’s parking, loading, and landscaping is adequate to properly adapt the proposed uses with public facility uses to the east and will be compatible with the existing residential development in the vicinity.

C. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. The project site is landlocked but is accessed by a local residential

PD2022-0014 OCTOBER 17, 2023

CEMETERY DISTRICT MAINTENANCE BUILDING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - 2 -
road, Newlove Drive, and two secondary arterial roads, College Drive and Battles Road. These roadways are adequately designed to accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed project, which is limited to between 52 to 135 employee trips per day. The project is not anticipated to generate additional traffic.

D. That the proposed use will have no adverse effect upon abutting property because the project will not generate additional light, and any noise-creating work will be restricted to normal business hours . Bay doors are oriented away from the residences to the west, and while no new sources of noise are proposed, the project is subject to the City’s Commercial performance standards related to noise, light and vibrations.

E. That the establishment, maintenance and/or conducting of the use for which the planned development review is sought will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such use and will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood; nor shall the use be inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood or contrary to its orderly development. The proposed building and use therein is ancillary to the existing and expanding Santa Maria Cemetery District. The conditions of approval for the cemetery, as well as project specific conditions of approval for installation of landscaping, stormwater facilities, and other improvements ensure that the project will be compatible with the uses, character, and improvements in the neighborhood.

F. That the conditions stated in the decision are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

G. The proposed modification(s) are otherwise consistent with the General Plan, Municipal Code and applicable Specific Plans; no modifications are proposed.

H. The project includes superior design elements that mitigate or compensate for any potential impact of the proposed modifica tion(s) on the surrounding area; no modifications are proposed.

I. The proposed modification(s) are essential to the des ign of the project; no modifications are proposed.

J. The proposed modification(s) have been minimized to the maximum extent possible consistent with Subsections (a) through (c) of Section 12 -35.203 of the Municipal Code. No modifications are proposed.

K. Environmental Review for this project was completed through the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH # 2023040484) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. No further environmental review is required.
