800 UNIVERSITY AVENUE – VETERINARY HOSPITAL Use Permit #ZP2015-0056 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project would establish a 1,175 SF veterinary clinic. I. CEQA FINDINGS

The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq.)) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (“Existing Facilities”). Furthermore, none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply, as follows: (a) the site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area, (b) there are no cumulative impacts, (c) there are no significant effects, (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway, (e) the project site is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and (f) the project will not affect any historical resources. II. GENERAL NON-DETRIMENT FINDING

Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code Section 23B.32.040, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the proposed project, under the circumstances of the particular case existing at the time at which the application is granted, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area or neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City, for the following reasons:

A. The project is consistent with, and supports implementation of, relevant policies set out in the adopted West Berkeley Plan in that it fosters the continued vitality of neighborhood and regional serving commercial trade by providing a means to retain an existing business in the neighborhood, providing an important personal/household service to new and existing residents of the area in as pedestrian-friendly a manner as possible.

B. The project will be compatible with the purposes of the C-W zoning district in that it is an established household/personal services business that would fill a new commercial storefront space a short distance from its existing location allowing it to continue to serve customers in the neighborhood and in the greater Berkeley community.

C. The project will support the retention of an existing small business, while enabling the demolition of the business’s existing building at 810 University, so that site can be incorporated into a project that would increase the opportunities for new housing in mixed-use development along the University Avenue corridor, thereby enabling more appropriately intense development in underutilized portions of the commercial corridor.

III. OTHER REQUIRED FINDINGS

Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code Section 23.64.090, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the project will be compatible with the purposes of the of the C-W West Berkeley Zoning District, and more specifically;

A. That the project is consistent with the purposes A through D of the C-W District in that it provides a location for commercial services that primarily serve area residents and supports the retention of an existing smaller business and is in a location that is appropriate for such commercial services, consistent with West Berkeley Plan policies.

B. That the project would indirectly increase opportunities for the development of new housing in an underutilized portion of the University Avenue commercial corridor, consistent with Purposes G and H, by allowing the consolidation of lots that will be the site of the proposed mixed-use project at 824 University Avenue.

C. That the project is compatible with surrounding uses and buildings, in that it is an established business that has been operating on University Avenue for many years.

D. That the project will support an increase in the continuity of commercial services at the ground level by occupying a new commercial space in the mixed-use building at 800 University, which is now under construction.
