significant effect on the environment.
2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to General Plan
Amendment 12-01:
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. The
amendment implements several Housing Element Programs (Programs
8.8.1.c, d, m, o through r and 8.8.3.1); and it fulfills Housing Policies 8.1.1
and 8.1.3 to promote and encourage development of housing, which
varies by type, design, form of ownership and size and to encourage infill
housing development and more intensive use of underutilized land for
residential construction.
b. The amendment promotes Land Use Goal 2.1 to provide for balanced
growth which seeks to provide a wide range of employment and housing
opportunities and maintenance of a healthy, diversified community; and
Sustainable Development Policy 9.3.1.a to review the Zoning Code to
promote green building concepts into all development projects including
possible incentives for the expanded use of green building concepts.
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 2012.
3. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zone Change 12-01
and Zoning Code Amendment 12-01:
a. The proposed zone change and amendment will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing
Page 2 of 35
or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or
-� injurious to property.or improvements in the neighborhood.. or within the
City because Zone Change 12-01 and Zoning.-Code -Amendment 12-01
will promote a variety of. housing .types within.the. City.. The.re-zoning will
still .allow residential development on Project. Site A, but at .a higher
density. The Project will not interfere with the continued use or enjoyment.
of surrounding:properties.
b.. The proposed zone change and amendment will be consistent with the . .
latest adopted General Plan. Zone- Change 12-01. and Zoning Code
.. Amendment .12-01 implement several Housing Programs contained in.the
General Plan Housing Element. _ A General Plan Amendment: is being
concurrently processed with the Zone Change and Code Amendment so
that the General Plan and Zoning Code-are consistent with one another.
4. Based on the findings and-conclusions set forth above, this Commission hereby
recommends that-the City.Council adopt the: Negative..Declaration prepared.for
General Plan Amendment 12-01, Zone Change 12-01, -and Zoning -Code .
Amendment 12=01, and further recommends that the City Council adopt a
Resolution approving General Plan Amendment 12-01, and.:adopt an Ordinance
