b. The proposed location of the project and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity in that:
(1) The subject warehouse building design would be compatible
and consistent with the existing manufacturing building onsite, including size
and exterior building materials and color.
(2) The subject warehouse building would be compatible with
surrounding business park properties within the same PC-5 Zone, as well as
single family residential development located across Cerritos Avenue to the
north.
(3) Adequate vehicle parking and circulation would be provided
onsite.
(4) The subject 8,400 square-foot warehouse building would be
smaller in area and less intense of a use than the previously approved
