FINDINGS FOR ZONING MAP AMENDMENT <br /> PA -2200021 <br /> 1 . The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Master Plan . <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed zone is Very Low Density Residential ( R= <br /> TL ) , which is an implementing zone of the proposed R/VL (Very Low Density Residential ) <br /> land use designation . Therefore , if the proposal to amend the land use designation to R/VL <br /> is approved , the proposed zone change to R-VL would be consistent with the General Plan . <br /> There are no Master Plans or Specific Plans affecting the subject parcel . <br /> 2 . The proposed amendment is necessary for public health , safety , and general welfare or will be of benefit <br /> to the public . <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed amendment to rezone 14 . 5 acres to R-VL <br /> (Very Low Density Residential ) will permit residential development which is a benefit to the <br /> county and state which suffer from a chronic housing shortage . Pursuant to the San Joaquin <br /> Council of Governments ' Regional Housing Needs Plan , the projected housing need for the <br /> San Joaquin County region for the 8 -year projection period ( beginning June 30 , 2023 , ending <br /> December 31 , 2031 ) is 52 , 719 total housing units across four income categories , from Very - <br /> Low to Above -Moderate . Of these units , 8 , 808 are allocated to the unincorporated County <br /> and 5 , 839 of those units fall within the Moderate to Above - Moderate income group . The <br /> rezoning will allow for a proposed 26 - lot subdivision with the potential for 26 single family <br /> dwelling units and 26 accessory dwelling units . <br /> 3 . The proposed amendment has been reviewed in compliance with the requirements of the California <br /> Environmental Quality Act . <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed Zone Reclassification amendment was <br /> reviewed with the accompanying General Plan Map Amendment , Major Subdivision , and <br /> Williamson Act Contract Cancellation applications in compliance with the requirements of <br /> CEQA . The resulting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study found that any <br /> potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to a level of less than significant . <br /> 4 . For a change to the Zoning Maps , that the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the <br /> proposed zone in terms of access , size of parcel , relations to similar or related uses , and other relevant <br /> considerations , and that the proposed change of zone is not detrimental to the use of adjacent <br /> properties . <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposal is to rezone a 14 . 5-acre portion of a 78 . 78 <br /> acre parcel from AU -20 to R-VL for a residential subdivision , which is proposed with 2 points <br /> of access : a proposed access road from Woodbridge Road and an existing road through an <br /> adjacent residential development . The 14 . 5-acre area proposed for rezoning will be large <br /> enough for the proposed number of lots and other improvements as shown on the major <br /> subdivision tentative map . The change in zone will not affect uses on adjacent properties . <br /> To the east is residential development that will remain . The proposed subdivision is a <br /> planned extension of the existing development . To the west and north are agricultural uses <br /> that will also remain . <br />
