FINDINGS FOR ZONE RECLASSIFICATION PA-2100169 Ligurian Village Properties LLC 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Master Plan. • This finding can be made because the proposed zone is Community Commercial (C-C), which is an implementing zone of the C/C land use designation.. Therefore, if the proposal to amend the land use designation to C/C is approved, the proposed zone change to C-C would be consistent with the General Plan. There are no Master Plans or Specific Plans affecting the subject parcel. 2. The proposed amendment is necessary for 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 community services facility that will be a benefit to the public, particularly the immediate neighborhoods. Additionally, residential development is also permitted in the C-C zone. Pursuant to Development Title Section 9-201.020, in all commercial zones, multi-unit residential is allowed above the ground level.This allows for higher density residential development than does the R-L zone. 3. 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 General Plan Amendment and Administrative Use Permit applications in compliance with--the requirements of CEQA. The resulting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study found that any potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to a level of less than significant. 4. For a change to the Zoning Maps, that the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed zone in terms of access, size of parcel, relations to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations, and that the proposed change of zone is not detrimental to the use of adjacent properties. • This finding can be made because,although the subject property has access from both East Main Street and South Miwuk Village Drive, the site plan designates the driveway to cone off of South Miwuk Village Drive. The site plan depicts the 12,200 square foot building, as well as 2 parking areas with sufficient parking for the project. The subject property has access to public services as required by the General Plan for Urban Communities. The development is of a small scale that will not be detrimental to the residential properties to the south nor to the elementary school to the west. Zone Reclassification No. PA-2100169— Findings 1
