All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Legislative Findings. The City Council in approving the Project hereby finds, determines and declares that: General Plan Amendment A. The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest. The current General Plan designation for Phase ll of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan is Low Density Residential (L), Low Medium Density Residential (LM), Medium Density Residential (M), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Public Institutional (PI), and Open Space (OS). The proposed amendment would change these land uses to Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) which allows for Low Density Residential (L), Low Estate Density Residential (L-E), Low Medium Density Residential (LM), Medium Density Residential (Ml, M2), Multi Family Residential (MF) Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Schools, Private Recreation (RC), Public Parks (P), and Open Space (OSI, 0S2, 0S3) land uses as specified in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The General Plan Amendment is in the public interest because it allows for various types of residential housing including potential multi-family housing should the school district elect not to develop both of the school sites as well as commercial development and preservation of open space. B. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The General Plan Amendment will ensure compliance with all Building, Fire, and Development Codes. These codes set policies and standards that protect the Resos 18-07 2 health, safety and welfare of the community. In addition, the General Plan Amendment is tied to a Specific Plan Amendment that establishes specific land uses and building design guidelines and standards that ensure compatibility and interface with the surrounding community. Therefore, the General Plan Amendment is compatible with the health, safety and welfare of the community. C. The General Plan Amendment is compatible with existing and surrounding uses. The proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible with surrounding land uses. The current surrounding land uses include Phase I of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan, residential land uses, and County of Riverside land designated as residential and open space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use allows the General Plan to defer to the provisions and restrictions of the Specific Plan in order to remain compatible with existing and surrounding land uses. Although the proposed land uses in the Specific Plan area are more intense than the existing agricultural and rural residential uses that the area currently supports, the lot sizes in the Specific Plan area vary from smaller lots in the interior of the Roripaugh Ranch Project to large lots around the perimeter adjacent to existing rural areas. In addition, the proposed habitat resource areas and Santa Gertrudis Creek will help contribute to the continued rural nature of the area by preserving open space between development areas. D. The General Plan 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 General Plan Amendment is consistent with the direction, goals and policies of the General Plan. The General Plan Amendment will implement the goals and policies of the City's General Plan, provide balanced and diversified land uses, and impose appropriate standards and requirements with respect to land development and use in order to maintain the overall quality of life and the environment within the City. The goals and policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan encourage "a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public and open space land uses (Goal 1)." The project's land use mix currently includes residential, commercial, public institutional, and open space. The Specific Plan Implementation land use will allow for the development of Phase II of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to develop according to the regulations and standards of the Specific Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment will result in compatible future development, which will meet the recommended land use and circulation pattern, maximum density and intensity of development, a desired mix of uses and other factors consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. Section 3. Amendment to General Plan Text. The City Council approves and amends the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the General Plan Land Use designations for the parcels of Phase II of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan to a Specific Plan Implementation (SPI) land use and amends Figure LU-3 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as shown on Exhibit A, "Proposed General Plan" attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth in full. Resos 18-07 3 Section 4. City Manager Authorization. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to take all steps necessary to implement this General Plan Amendment. Section 5. Consistency with General Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan, as amended by this Resolution, is consistent with the other elements of the General Plan, consistent with Government Code Section 65300.5. Insofar as other portions of the General Plan need to be revised to effectuate this General Plan Amendment, the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to make all necessary revisions to effectuate this General Plan Amendment.
