Attachment E FINDINGS FOR ZONE RECLASSIFICATION PA -2200278 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 Medium Density Residential ( R- M ) , which is an implementing zone of the proposed R/M ( Medium Density Residential ) land use designation . Therefore , if the proposal to amend the land use designation to RIM is approved , the proposed zone change to R-M 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 to rezone 2 . 12 acres to RW ( Medium Density Residential ) will allow for further residential development of the site , which is a public benefit . The County and State suffer from a chronic housing shortage . Pursuant to the San Joaquin Council of Governments ' Regional Housing Needs Plan , the projected housing need for the San Joaquin County region for the next 8 years is 52 , 719 total housing units . The rezoning will allow for approximately 7 additional housing units to be constructed on the site with building permits . If the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification are approved , the proposed Administrative Use Permit for a four- plex and Accessory Dwelling Unit could also be approved for additional housing . 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 Zone Reclassification amendment was reviewed with the accompanying General Plan Map Amendment , and Administrative Use Permit applications in compliance with the requirements of CEQA . The resulting Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration found that any potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to a level of less than significant as identified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan / Program . 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 the proposal to rezone 2 . 12 -acres composed of 10 legal lots from C -C to R-M for a residential development is suitable for the existing and proposed uses . The project site is comprised of existing non -conforming dwellings and the project includes an Administrative Use Permit for a proposed four- plex with an Accessory Dwelling Unit . If approved , the proposed Zone Reclassification will make the existing residences conforming . Surrounding properties are zoned Low Density Residential to the north , and Medium Density Residential to the south , and the proposed Zone Reclassification is not anticipated to affect uses on adjacent properties .
