BACKGROUND
In November of 1990 when the City's General Plan Update was
approved this area was designated "CBD Plan" and no specific land
use designations were assigned. Since that time, the plan has gone
through a number of revisions and has received conceptual approval
from the Design Review Committee (DRC) . When approved this plan
will establish the General Plan level land use for this area.
At the December 2, 1992 Planning Commission meeting the Planning
Commission recommended to the City Council by a 3 -1 vote approval
of GPA 92 -3 (minutes and staff report attached) with the following
modifications:
1) All areas delineated High Density Residential (24
dwelling units (du's) per acre, maximum) be redesignated
Medium High Density Residential (18 du's per acre,
maximum); and
2) All areas delineated Medium High Density Residential (24
du's per acre, maximum) be redesignated Medium Density
Residential (12 du's per acre, maximum).
ENVIRONMENTAL
This project has been reviewed pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been found not to have any
significant impacts on the environment or that any impacts will
mitigated. Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -7 has been prepared.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that:
City Council adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration 92 -7; and
City Council approve General Plan Amendment 92 -3 and adopt
Resolution No. 9344
The Redevelopment Agency concur with the City Council.
FINDINGS - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 92 -3
1. The approval of the requested designations permits development
to the highest and best nature within mitigable means to
insure maintenance of the general public health safety and
welfare.
2. Granting of the requested designations will permit reasonable
development of the property consistent with its constraints
and more compatible with adjacent properties and proposed
development.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land
use density and usage more in character with the subject
property's location, access and constraints.
4. The proposed change will not result in any significant adverse
impacts on the environment.
