building, along with driveway entrance, landscape and parking enhancements under a
variety of entitlements that include Site Plan Review (SPR) 08-04, Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) 08-02, Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 08-07, and Environmental
Assessment (EA) 08-07. In 2012, 2013 and 2020, amendments to SPR 08-04 were also
granted by the Planning Commission.
D. This project is exempt from environmental review per California Environmental
Quality Act Guidelines per Section 15303(e), in that the project involves the
installation of accessory equipment and the construction of a small enclosure
structure appurtenant to the existing onsite Medical Center use.
E. The project would not adversely affect the General Plan document, in that the parcel
is designated by the General Plan for professional office, medical clinics and hospital
facility uses of which Marshall Medical Center is categorized as. The request does not
change this use. Furthermore, the request is appurtenant to the Medical Center use.
F. The project is consistent with the Site Plan Review Criteria of City Code 10-4-9(G), in
that the request provides for a screening enclosure that is dimensioned to completely
obscure visibility of the proposed energy storage system components of batteries and
equipment cabinets from Marshall Way, and that the enclosure would have an
exterior brick veneer harmonious with the existing brick veneer used on the adjoining
Marshall Medical Center building at 1095 Marshall Way.
