Development Code Findings:
l. The proposed change of zone (or revision to Title 9) is consistent with the goals,
objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan, and is necessary and desirable
to implement the provisions of the General Plan. Based on the information provided in
the staff report and accompanying materials the change of zone is consistent with the
General Plan. In addition, the project will provide drainage improvements and open
space that implement provisions of the General Plan.
2. The proposed change of zone (or revision to Title 9) will not adversely affect the public
health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land use pattern. With the drainage
and roadway improvements proposed by the applicant, any potential impacts to public
health, safety and welfare will be mitigated. Furthermore, the land use. pattern is
consistent with development to the north and west.
3. The proposed change of zone (or revision to Title 9) is consistent with the purpose and
intent of Title 9(or the portion of Title 9 it is amending). The proposed subdivision
design is consistent with the site development standards of the SF zone and the land
division requirements of Title 9 Chapter 4. �
4. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed change of zone (or revision to Title
9) are insignificant, or there are overriding considerations that outweigh the potential
impacts. The initial study identifies several potential impacts; however, the conclusion
is that all potential impacts can be mitigated. Thus the zone change will have an
insignificant effect on the environment.
