CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Zoning Administrator
has reviewed the proposal for waiver of required lot frontage and minimum
number of parking spaces to establish a four lot industrial subdivision on an
irregularly shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 1.95 acre, having
a frontage of approximately 300 feet on the east side of Knollwood Circle (a
private street), having a maximum depth of approximately 393 feet, being
located approximately 640 feet west of the centerline of Magnolia Avenue, and
further described as 1334, 1338, 1342 and 1346 Knollwood Circle; and that the
Planning Director or his authorized representative has determined that the
proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Class
5, as defined in the State EIR Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically
exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR.

APPROVE Variance No. .4139, subject to the following conditions:
