Section 2. Findings The City Council, in approving Planning Application No. PA99-
0244 (General Plan Amendment) hereby makes the following findings:
A. The change is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the
community. The proposed General Plan Amendment is not changing the land use designation,
density or permitted use types which might adversely effect the health, safety and welfare of the
community. The amendment is simply removing the subject site from Figure 2-5, Specific Plan
R:Resos 2000-23 1
Overlay zone, and reverting the zoning back to the existing Land Use Designation of Low
Medium Density Residential to be consistent with the Land Use Map. Therefore, the project will
not have an adverse effect on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
B. The amendment is compatible with existing and surrounding uses. The
subdivision is compatible with the surrounding areas as the project is for single family residential
homes which are similar land uses in the immediate area. Furthermore, the future homes will be
developed pursuant to the General Plan, the Development Code and all of which regulate
residential parcels and development. In addition, the proposed subdivision provides adequate
access and circulation for emergency vehicles and will not impact existing circulation or
emergency vehicle access. The project as conditioned, will comply with the City's Development
Code, General Plan and subdivision requirements upon approval of the corresponding General
Plan Amendment (PA99-0244) and Zoning Amendment (PA99-0245).
C. The amendment will not have an adverse effect on the community and is
consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted General Plan. The proposed subdivision
and future residential development is a permitted use in the existing SP (Specific Plan) and
Land Use Designation of the Low Medium (LM) Density Residential zoning classification. The
project is being developed in conformance with the General Plan Land Use Designation and
Development Code standards of Low Medium (LM) Density Residential. The proposed density
is below the target density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a proposed density of 3.9
du/ac.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for the project which
indicates that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in
the Mitigation Monitoring Program and the Conditions of Approval that have been added to the
project. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration is hereby adopted.

City Council hereby amends Figure 2-5, the Specific Plan Oveday Map, of the General Plan on
the following parcel in the manner specified below:
