CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Applications for a Conditional Use Permit are processed by the Community Development Department, Planning Division.

I. Preliminary Review

Prior to applying for a CUP, it is highly recommended that a Preliminary Review be submitted and checked. This

procedure notifies the potential CUP applicant, in advance, of Planning Division requirements and recommendations to

the Planning Commission. The Preliminary Plan Review consists of three (3) sets of plans which include the site plan,

floor plan(s), and elevations, along with a completed application, environmental checklist and a review fee of $930.00.

The Preliminary Plan Review is designed to allow applicants to be informed of the Planning Division’s

recommendations and requirements prior to preparing the complete CUP package and paying the required fees. This

review may not include recommendations and requirements of other Departments or Agencies (i.e. Building and

Safety, Fire, County Health, etc.).

II. Complete CUP Package

Materials necessary to process a CUP include:

1. Ten (10) copies of proposed and/or existing plans. All plans should be submitted on 24” x 36” paper and folded to 8

½” x 11”. Set of plans should include the following:

A. Floor Plan (all buildings)

B. Site Plan

C. Elevations (all)

2. Two (2) copies of reduced plans, either 8 ½” x 11” or 11” x 17”.

3. One (1) CD Rom or USB drive containing all files in digital PDF and/or JPEG formats.

4. Two (2) sets of 300 foot Public Notice Radius Maps and Mailing Labels (see the attached example).

5. CUP Application (completely filled, see the attached example).

6. Environmental Checklist Form (completely filled, see the attached example).

7. Digital photograph copies of site and adjacent properties (i.e. CD Rom or USB drive).

8. Required Fees:

A. $ 4,972.00 for CUP

B. $ 285.00 for Environmental Review (minimum)

C. $ 650.00 for Publication Fees

$ 5,907.00 Total

How is the application processed?

Conditional Use Permits are approved based upon the discretion (subject to appeal) of the Planning Commission. Upon the

submittal of the above mentioned materials and payment of fees, the proposal will be given a case number (i.e. 2016-01

CUP), and be scheduled for the earliest appropriate Planning Commission meeting. Assuming the materials submitted are

accurate and complete, Planning Division staff can process the application and present it to the Planning Commission

within approximately one (1) month from the formal submittal date. The processing includes the notification of all property

owners within 300 feet of the site (or as required by the California Environmental Quality Act if applicable), a notice of the

request advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and the preparation of a staff report (subject to environmental

analysis and findings as required by the California Environmental Quality Act) for the Planning Commission.

CUP APPLICATION GUIDELINES – PAGE 2

It is recommended that the applicant, property owner, and/or representative attend(s) the meeting, and be prepared to

answer questions and present evidence supporting the requested CUP. In order for the Planning Commission to approve a

request for a CUP, the Commission must find that based upon the information contained in the application and the

testimony given at the public hearing, the following findings apply:

A. The proposed use is conditionally permitted within, and would not impair the integrity and character of, the subject

zoning district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Code;

B. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan;

C. The approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use is in compliance with the requirements of the

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s Guidelines;

D. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and

planned future land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located and will not create

significant noise, traffic or other conditions or situations that may be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses

operating nearby or adverse to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City;

E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed; and

F. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the

proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety.

The Planning Commission is interested in hearing all views concerning the proposed CUP, and how it applies to the

required findings. It is suggested that the applicant prepare themselves to answer questions pertaining to the required

findings during the public hearing.

A staff report will be available at the Community Development Department public counter on the Monday before the

Planning Commission meeting. A copy of the report will also be provided to the applicant prior to the meeting.

What happens after the Planning Commission’s decision?

After publicly discussing the case, the Planning Commission may approve, deny, or continue the case to a later meeting for

further study.

It is important to know that if an application is approved, it does not become final until fifteen (15) days after the date of

approval. During this time an appeal may be filed by the applicant or anyone requesting that the City Council reverse or

modify the decision of the Planning Commission. An appeal may be filed and paid for at the City Clerk’s Office in City Hall.

The appeal will then be scheduled to be heard by the City Council which may affirm, modify or overturn the Planning

Commission action.

What are “conditions” of approval?

If the application is approved, the CUP may contain certain conditions affecting the proposed use/development. The

Planning Division recommends conditions to the Planning Commission for the mitigation and/or improvement of the

individual circumstances to ensure the compatibility of the use with surrounding land uses.

For further information, please contact the Planning Division by calling (323) 584-6210 between 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday.
