FINDINGS FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT PA-2100168 LIGURIAN VILLAGE PROPERTIES LLC/ ERNIE VASTI 1. The proposed amendment will contribute to the public health, safety, and general welfare or will be of benefit to the public. • This finding can be made because the proposed amendment of a 1.9 acre lot from R/L to C/C will permit development for a facility offering both business and services to the immediate area that will be a benefit to the public, particularly the immediate neighborhoods. 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan goals, unless the goals themselves are proposed to be amended. • This finding can be made because the proposed amendment to the General Pian will affect a single 1.9 acre parcel in a location that will result in a continuation of existing C-C zoning, broken only by the elementary school to the west of the subject property. Although there are other sites with commercial zoning on Main Street west of the project site, the plan for a facility offering both business and services to the Solari Ranch and surrounding areas dictates that the proposed location be utilized for that plan. This is not a conversion of agricultural land, and infrastructure and services are available. This is consistent with General Plan Land Use Goal LU-2.14 which lists the considerations for General Plan Land Use Amendments which include consistency, new factors not present at the time the General Plan was adopted, reasonable alternative sites already-planned for the use, potential for setting precedent for undesirable growth or premature conversion of agricultural land, availability of infrastructure and service,and the effect on the fiscal health of the County. 3. The proposed amendment retains the internal consistency of the General Plan and is consistent with other adopted plans, unless a concurrent amendment to those plans is also proposed and will result in consistency. • This finding can be made because, pursuant to the General Plan 2035,the C/C designation provides for a full range of retail and service uses serving urban areas and regional markets and limited office uses. The Community Commercial Designation is only allowed in central business districts, main street areas, or extensive commercial areas within Urban Communities and City Fringe Areas. Developments should be located on a County-defined Minor Arterial or higher classification roadway and include pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Typical building-types include one-to three-story commercial structures. Development is limited to 10,000 square feet of leasable space. The subject parcel meets the outlined locational criteria,as it is located on East Main Street, which is a County-defined Minor Arterial roadway, with sidewalks, and is located in the Urban Community of Stockton. The proposed development is a two-story, 12,200 square foot structure with leasable space and an atrium. 4. The proposed amendment has been reviewed in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. • This finding can be made because the proposed amendment was reviewed with the accompanying Zoning Map Amendment and Administrative Use Permit applications in compliance with the requirements of CEQA. The resulting Mitigated Negative Declaration General Plan Amendment No. PA-2100168— Findings 1
