Item No. 3 PC: 1-16-92 GP-92-5/ZR-92-5 Page 1 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission: / 1. Approve the Negative Declaration; �J( 2. Forward General Plan Text Amendment Application No. GP-92-5 to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval based on the "Basis for General Plan Text Amendment" contained in the staff report; and 3. Forward Zone Reclassification Application No. ZR-92-5 to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for approval based on the"Bases for Zone Reclassification"contained in the staff report. BASIS FOR GENERAL PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT The internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained with the adoption of the amendment. The change in the text of the General Plan does not conflict with General Plan Policies and Principles because it allows the Community Development Department to implement the AL-5 zone (Limited Agriculture, 5-acre minimum parcel size) that was adopted by the Board of Supervisors as Ordinance No. 3447 and which became effective on January 14, 1989. BASES FOR ZONE RECLASSIFICATION 1. The proposed zone district is consistent with the General Plan. This determination can be made for the proposed Zone Reclassification because the AL-5 zone is identified in the General Plan's Zoning/General Plan Consistency Matrix as an appropriate and consistent implementing zone for the General Plan designation of Agriculture. 2. The site of the proposed zone district is suitable for any of the land uses permitted within the proposed zone district. This determination can be made because the five-acre parcels that may result from this project are of sufficient size to accommodate the uses permitted in the AL-5 zone, as well as being large enough to accommodate on-site services. 3. The proposed zone district is reasonable and beneficial at this time. This determination can be made because the project recognizes and helps to preserve the area's existing small-scale agricultural enterprises.
