FINDINGS FOR GENERAL PLAN MAP AMENDMENT PA-2600169 LGI HOMES-CALIFORNIA, LLC/LGI HOMES-CALIFORNIA, LLC 1. The proposed amendment will contribute to the public health, safety, and general welfare or will be of benefit to the public. • The proposed General Plan Map Amendment to change the General Plan designation from C/G (General Commercial) to R/L (Low Density Residential), if approved,will be consistent with the existing R-L (Low Density Residential) zone and allow for the intended use of developing single-family dwellings.The development will create a much-needed increase in housing inventory available to the general public. 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan goals, unless the goals themselves are proposed to be amended. • This project proposes to change the General Plan designation of 38 parcels from General Commercial (C/G) to Low Density Residential (R/L). The R/L designation provides for low density residential development in neighborhoods in Urban Communities and City Fringe Areas.The Low Density Residential designation typically includes one-to two-story single- family dwellings in an urban setting. The proposed underlying use of these parcels is to develop single-family dwellings in the Stockton City Fringe Area near areas developed or proposed to be developed with residences.This is consistent with the General Plan policies specific to the Low Density Residential General Plan designation. The proposed General Plan Map Amendment must also be consistent with the following General Plan goals: Land Use Goal LU4 This goal- states that the County will provide opportunities or a variety of residential development types and densities in established communities, while minimizing conversion of agricultural and loss of natural-resources.The following subgoal applies to this project: o LU4.1 New Residential Developments: The County shall direct most new unincorporated residential development to areas within Urban and Rural Communities and City Fringe Areas. The parcels encompass a 7.9-acre area in the Ligurian Village subdivision on the northwest corner of East Main-Street and South Verona Court, Stockton. This area is in the Stockton City Fringe Area and is intended to be developed with single-family dwellings upon approval of the General Plan Map Amendment. The amendment will facilitate new unincorporated residential development within the City Fringe Area, consistent with the applicable General Plan policy. 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 as the current General Plan designation of C/G (General Commercial) is not consistent with the current zoning designation of R-L (Low Density Residential).The project site was previously designated as Low Density Residential (R/L) in the 2010 General Plan. However, this was updated to General Commercial (C/G) when the Board of Supervisors approved a landowner request as part of the comprehensive update PA-2600169— Findings 1
