WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Grand Terrace: 1. The Planning Commission hereby finds that, based on the Initial Study, the public hearing, and substantial evidence in the record, the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment because all potential environmental impacts have been mitigated to a level of non-significance through the incorporation of mitigation measures in the Project approval. 2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to General Plan Amendment 11-01: a. The General Plan Amendment promotes the Grand Terrace General Plan and each element thereof, and leaves the General Plan a compatible, integrated and internally consistent statement of goals and policies because the proposed amendment conforms to Land Use Element Goal 2.3 to provide a wide range of retail and service commercial opportunities designed to meet the needs of the City's residents, businesses, and visitors while also providing employment opportunities and with Public Services Goal. 7.1 to coordinate and balance the provision of public services with planned development because the site can be served by existing public service sand utilities. b. The General Plan Amendment is consistent with key objectives of the General Plan to promote new commercial development that will capitalize on the City's proximity to major transportation corridors and to provide for balanced growth, which seeks to provide opportunities for a wide range of employment and housing and the maintenance of a healthy diversified economy; and consistent with the intent of the General Commercial designation provides for general commercial uses to serve the retail and service needs of the community. c. Adoption of this General Plan Amendment will not be in conflict with Section 65358 (b) of the Government Code relating to the number of amendments permitted per year, because this amendment is the first amendment of calendar year 2011. 3 The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zone Change 11-01: a. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the city because the re-designation permits the same level of commercial development as the existing designation. The zone change will allow the development of a cohesive commercial center under one zoning classification, subject to one set of development standards, and subject to specific conditions of approval. b. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan. The Zone Change to BRSP-VC would permit a variety of village commercial uses such drug stores, markets, cafes, bakeries, gift shops, bookstores, food and restaurant uses, and other similar commercial retail uses. The proposed re-zoning will allow for the ultimate development of a village commercial center consistent with the intent of the proposed GC General Plan land use designation to provide for general commercial uses that would serve the retail and service needs of the community. 4. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Specific Plan Amendment 11-01: a. The proposed amendment to consistent with the adopted Barton Road Specific Plan. The proposed Amendment to incorporate the 0.75-acre site into the BRSP and zone it BRSP-VC is consistent with Land Use/Economic objectives to maximize the economic position of the BRSP by promoting sales tax-generating uses because commercial retail uses will be developed on the site; and the design promotes Land Use/Economic objectives to promote a distinctive commercial cluster rather than strip commercial. b. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan. The inclusion of the 0.75-acre site into the BRSP will allow for the ultimate development of a cohesive village commercial center consistent with the intent of the proposed GC General Plan land use designation to provide for general commercial uses that would serve the retail and service needs of the community. 5. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve General Plan Amendment 11-01, Zone Change 11-02, Specific Plan Amendment 11-01. 6.
