FINDINGS
Required Finding for CEQA:
▪ The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the

structure with no increase in floor area.
Required findings for a Conditional Use Permit:
▪ As required by Section 29.20.190 of the Town Code for granting a Conditional Use Permit:
The deciding body, on the basis of the evidence submitted at the hearing, may grant a
conditional use permit when specifically authorized by the provisions of the Town Code if it
finds that:
1. The proposed use of the property is essential or desirable to the public convenience or
welfare because it will relocate an existing banking and financial services business to a
new location in the Central Business District; and
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone because
limitations will be placed in the conditions of approval to preserve the character of the
residential zone; and
3. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare
because the conditions of approval will address any potential impacts; and
4. The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or objectives
of the General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code.
