General Plan Amendment.
A. The project as proposed and conditioned is compatible with the health, safety
and welfare of the community. The project has been reviewed by agencies and staff and
determined to be in conformance with the City's General Plan, Development Code, Design
Guidelines and Growth Management Program Action Plan. These documents set policies and
standards that protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. Access and circulation
are adequate for emergency vehicles.
B. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The project proposes
similar residential neighborhoods adjacent to existing surrounding neighborhoods as it provides
a transition in lot sizes, with interface buffers and full roadway improvements.
C. The proposed project will not have an adverse effect on the community because
it remains consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. The project does
not represent a significant change to the planned land uses for the site. The General Plan
Amendment is a relocation and reallocation of existing land use designations that conforms to
the design of the specific plan.
Specific Plan
A. The proposed specific plan is consistent with the General Plan, as it is proposed
to be amended, and development code. The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the
goals and policies of the general plan and development code. The Specific Plan is a
reallocation and redistribution of the majority of the existing Land Use Designations and serves
as an implementation tool for the General Plan. Therefore, as proposed, the Specific Plan is
consistent with the general plan, as it is proposed to be amended, and development code.
B. The proposed Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. The project has been reviewed by agencies
and staff, and is determined to be in conformance with the City's General Plan (as it is proposed
to be amended), Development Code, Design Guidelines and Growth Management Program
Action Plan. These documents set policies and standards that protect the health, safety and
welfare of the community. In addition, the Specific Plan is a master planned community with
specific design guidelines and standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the
surrounding community in terms of density, design and circulation since it provides a transition
in lot sizes. Therefore, as proposed, conditioned and designed, the Specific Plan is compatible
with the health, safety and welfare of the community.
C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use
designations and the anticipated land use developments. There are no physical constraints of
the site which would preclude or prohibit the requested land use designations or anticipated
developments. Moreover, the proposed Specific Plan land uses are consistent with the land
uses of the General Plan and will serves as the tool to regulate and implement the goals and
policies of the General Plan. The applicant has submitted applications for Tentative Tract Maps
which indicate that the site is physically suitable for the land uses and development proposed in
the Specific Plan.
D. The proposed project shall ensure development of desirable character which will
be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood as it
provides a transition in lot sizes. The project proposes similar residential land uses adjacent to
R:/Resos 2002/Resos 02-112 2

Plan took under consideration the existing developments and surrounding zoning classifications
to ensure development that will be complementary and compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
