Class 11 consists of construction, or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including but not limited to parking lots. The primary use of the lot is for vehicle storage parking, which has been a use allowed on a portion of the lot for decades.

applies to the proposed project. The proposed project will not result in significant cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place.
