That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning law and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings for the approval of Zone Change No. 2006-07: 1. The proposed zone change 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 change or within the City, or b) injurious to the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City. a. The proposed zone change has been analyzed relative to its potential to have detrimental effects. It has been determined that the health, safety and welfare of surrounding residents may be improved as a result of future improvements to infrastructure such as water, sewer, paving and drainage facilities brought to the site as a requirement for any future development. The proposed "Ramsgate SP" zoning will ensure that development standards and design guidelines of the specific plan will be consistently applied throughout the site. 2. The proposed zone change will permit reasonable development of the area consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with adjacent properties. a. The proposed zoning of "Ramsgate SP" will allow for the continuation of the single family residential neighborhood already approved in Tentative Tract Map No. 25475 Revision No.1 that lies to the west. 3. The proposed zone change would establish a land use density and usage more in character with the Property's location, access, and constraints. a. The zone change proposes a boundary adjustment to allow for a seamless integration of the Property with the adjacent proposed Ramsgate Specific Plan.
