Basis for General Plan Map Amendment <br /> 1. The internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the Map Amendment. <br /> • This determination can be made because the proposed project is consistent with the <br /> Medium Density Residential policies of the General Plan. These policies require that the <br /> site be served by a public water system, a public sewer system, and a public storm <br /> drainage system, all of which are available at the project site.The project site also meets <br /> the locational criteria for the Medium Density Residential designation as it is in an urban <br /> community area and will provide a transition from lower density, single-family areas and <br /> more intensely developed residential and commercial areas. Finally,the proposed project <br /> is consistent with the General Plan goal for infill development that is adjacent to existing <br /> development and maximizes the efficient use of land and uses existing infrastructure. <br /> Bases for Zone Reclassification <br /> 1. The proposed zone is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, and any <br /> applicable Specific Plan; and <br /> • This determination can be made because the proposed Medium Density Residential (R- <br /> M)zone is an implementing zone of the Medium Density Residential (R/M) General Plan <br /> land use designation. If the General Plan designation is changed to R/M, then the zone <br /> change to R-M will be consistent with the General Plan. <br /> 2. The proposed zone district is reasonable and beneficial at the time. (Development Title Section 9- <br /> 812.4) <br /> • This determination can be made because the proposed Zone Reclassification is <br /> reasonable and beneficial at this time because public water, sewer, and storm drain <br /> services are available at the site. Public services are a requirement for the General Plan <br /> Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification applications. Additionally, approving the <br /> zone reclassification will likely result in development of a Small Multi-family Residential <br /> development which is consistent with the proposed R-M zoning and with the <br /> surrounding residential uses. <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, Item #1 12/05/2019 — PA-1900037, 31 (GP, ZR) <br /> ❑�'n� <br />
