f
t
(1) The proposed zone change will not have a significant adverse effect on the
environment, as determined in the Initial Study for this project. No immediate impacts to the
environment will result from the Change of Zone from R-A-2 1/2 (Residential Agricultural, 2
1/2 acre minimum parcel size) to C-O (Commercial Office). Impacts from future development
can be mitigated to a level less than significant.
(2) The zone change from R-A-2 1/2 (Residential Agricultural, 2 1/2 acre
minimum parcel size) to C-O (Commercial Office) is consistent with the City's General Plan
Land Use designation for the site. It is likely that Commercial Office uses will ultimately be
consistent with the Professional Office designation. The uses are similar in both Ordinance No.
348 and the draft General Plan.
(3) The site of the proposed Change of Zone is suitable to accommodate all
the land uses currently permitted in the proposed zoning district due to the fact that the parcel
is of adequate size and shape for any proposed use. Section 9.75.a. of Ordinance No. 348
(Development Standards for Commercial Office) requires no minimum size for lot area. The
parcels total approximately 27 acres. Landscaping, parking and lot coverage requirements will
be met upon ultimate submittal of a development proposal.
(4) Said findings are supported by analysis, maps, exhibits, and environmental
documents associated with this application and herein incorporated by reference.
(5) Change of Zone No. 5691 is compatible with the health, safety and welfare
of the community.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study was performed for this project
which determined that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, no significant impact would immediately result to the natural or built environment
in the City. Future development of the site may result in impacts to the environment, however,
these can be mitigated to a level less than significant at the project development review stage.
