CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT
OF THE GENERAL PLAN FROM VERY HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
(VHDR) TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL (CC) FOR CERTAIN REAL
PROPERTY SPECIFIED HEREIN: FILE NO. GPA 1-08.
WHEREAS, local governments are authorized by Government Code
section 65350 et seg., to prepare, adopt and amend general plans; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the Land Use element of the
City of San Jacinto General Plan ("Amendment') initiated and prepared by DBN
West Esplanade, LLC located at the northwest corner of Esplanade Avenue and
Sanderson Avenue from Very High Density Residential to Community
Commercial (CC) implements the overall policies and goals of the General Plan
and leaves the General Plan internally consistent; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment was sent to affected public entities
for their review and comment; and
._ WHEREAS, the Amendment was reviewed, studied, and found to comply
with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") as more fully described
below; and
WHEREAS, on May 15, 2008, the City Council of the City of San Jacinto
("City Council") conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the Amendment at
which time all persons wishing to testify in connection with the Amendment were
heard and the Amendment was fully studied; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JACINTO:
SECTION 1. Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written
and oral evidence presented, and the findings made in this Resolution, the City
Council of the City of San Jacinto approves the Amendment to the General Plan
as set forth in the attached Exhibit "A" graphic.
SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all
written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Amendment
promotes the goals and objectives of the General Plan and leaves the General
Plan a compatible, integrated, and internally consistent statement of policies for
the following reasons:
A. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Land
Use Element in that it provides an appropriate orientation
and relationship between land uses within.and adjacent to
the Subject Site, and promotes orderly development beyond
the Subject Site boundaries, because the commercial land
use is compatible with the existing Community Commercial
designation for the property to the east and west.
B. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Circulation Element in that the distribution of uses within the
Subject Site will generate traffic, which is anticipated and
provided for in the Circulation Element because the site is
bounded by Esplanade Avenue and Sanderson Avenue.
C. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Housing Element because equivalent Very High Density
Residential will be provided in the current Housing Element
update 2008 so as to not impact existing housing programs.
D. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Conservation Element in that the future commercial
development will use water-efficient landscaping and
hardscape to reduce the need for water.
E. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Open
Space Element in that the project would not increase the
need for additional parks.
F. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Noise
Element in that it provides a pattern of land uses that
reduces the exposure of community residents to excessive
noise, because the proposal utilizes existing streets.
G. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Safety Element in that it provides an appropriate land use
distribution and orientation which protects the community
from unreasonable risks associated with seismic, geologic,
flood, and wildfire hazards because the site is not located in
a high fire hazard area, seismic zone or is subject to flooding
with the improvements proposed.
SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all
written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Amendment
complies with CEQA for the following reasons:
Although the proposed project could have had a significant effect
on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case
because revisions in the project or proposals made by or agreed to
by the applicant would avoid the effects to a point where clearly no
significant effects would occur; therefore, A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION has been prepared. City Staff is
directed to file a Notice of Determination within 5 days of this
project approval.
SECTION 4. The location and custodian of the documents and any other
material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council
based its decision is as follows: Planning Director, City of San Jacinto Planning
Department, 595 S. San Jacinto Avenue, San Jacinto, CA 92583. (951) 487-
7330.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon
its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 15th day of May 2008.
