its potential to have detrimental effects, and Staff believes 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.
b. The proposed "Ramsgate" designation will ensure that development
standards and design guidelines of the specific plan will be
consistently applied to all of the Properties.
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will pernut reasonable
development of the area consistent with its constraints and will make the
area more compatible with adjacent properties.
a. The proposed land use designation of "Ramsgate" will allow for the
continuation of large lot single family detached residential
neighborhoods thus creating continuity between the Properties and
the neighboring Canyon Hills Specific Plan which lies to the west. The
proposed designation will also provide flezibility in designing the site
to be compatible with existing uses along its other three boundaries.
