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=s boundaries, because the residential land use is
compatible with the proposed city-wide General Plan revision,
and is compatible with the existing residential designation for
the property to the west and east, whereas two residential
tracts (TTMs 32080 and 24140) have already been approved
or constructed adjacent to the property.
�r. B. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Circulation Element in that the density and 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 Ramona Expressway, an
Expressway planned for six lanes of traffic, and Ramona
Boulevard, a Secondary Street designed for 4 lanes of traffic.
C. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Housing Element in that it provides for development
consistent with the existing and projected housing needs of
the community and region because the Housing Element

consistent with the adopted goals and policies for preserving
and managing open space within the City and do not create
conflicts to the realization of said goals and policies.
F. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Noise
Element in that it provides a pattern of land uses that
minimizes the exposure of community residents to excessive
noise, because the proposal utilizes existing streets, and
provides a landscape setback along Ramona Expressway (an
Expressway planned for six lanes of traffic) to minimize
ambient noise exposure from vehicles on this street.
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 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 Resolution.
