That in accordance with the State Planning and Zoning Law, the City Council hereby makes the following findings for the approval of Zone Change No. 2013 -04: 1. The proposed zone changes will not be a) detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed zone changes or within the City, or b) injurious to the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City. a. The proposed zone change implements the adopted General Plan Update of December 13, 2011, which was analyzed relative to its potential to have detrimental effects. b. The proposed zone change will eliminate inconsistencies with the adopted General Plan Update. C. The proposed zone change will be beneficial to the public health, safety, comfort and welfare and will improve the property in the neighborhood and the City by allowing a variety of residential, commercial, recreational, public /institutional and open space uses to be established in the East Lake, North Peak and Lake View Districts within the City. 2. The proposed zone changes will permit reasonable development of the area consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with adjacent properties. a.

Floodways are appropriately zoned in these Districts in accordance with FEMA maps. b. Public uses are appropriately zoned and identified. C. Properties surrounding the amended North Peak Specific Plan are zoned to be harmonious and sensitive to the existing land forms, topography and vegetation. d.
