The proposed zone change from commercial to industrial would be consistent with the existing surrounding developments, which include other light industrial-related uses. The project site is not adjacent or in close proximity to residential uses. Therefore, the zone change is not anticipated to create adverse impacts for persons residing or working within the neighborhood. b. The application to change the zoning designation would not be injurious to the property or improvements in the neighborhood because the land use designation change from commercial to industrial would be more in line with the existing industrial developments adjacent to the site and within the vicinity. Furthermore, the proposed industrial project would contribute to the industrial vitality of the corridor along Collier Avenue and West Minthorn Street as well as the City in general. 2. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest General Plan. ZC No. 2021-02 proposes to change the project site’s current zoning designation from General Commercial (C-2) to Limited Manufacturing (M-1). The project would also concurrently amend the site’s current General Plan land use designation to an industrial designation to ensure that the zone change would be consistent with the General Plan. Therefore, upon approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2021-02 and the proposed zone change, the zoning would be consistent with the latest General Plan.
