The City Council,in approving Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Specific Plan(SP 11)hereby finds,determines and declares that: A. The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan does not make any material changes to the Specific Plan that would impact the consistency findings set forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal 1 is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood-level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space and recreational facilities. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City's development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City's design and building standards. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest,health, safety,convenience or welfare of the city. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City because the Specific Plan clearly defines land uses, and establishes development standards, regulations and building criteria for each land use type. The proposed reduced setbacks add to the development standards and regulations and the Municipal Services CFD language does not change the number of approved lots or the size of the lots within the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan Area. 2 C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek for the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. With the reduced setbacks and Municipal Services CFD language the lot sizes and number of lots within the Specific Plan will remain unchanged from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain.
