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's boundaries, because the
residential land use is compatible with the General Plan, and is compatible
with the residential designation for the properties to the west and north,
where residential tracts have already been approved and developed.
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 accessed by Kirby Street, with Esplanade
Avenue to the south and Seventh Street to the north. In addition, the
residential tract proposed is less than what could be developed under the
proposed designation (36 lots versus 50 lots).
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 Policy of providing "a variety of housing opportunities by type,
tenure, and cost to households throughout the City" by providing for
medium density development in this area of the city which was not
previously available.
D. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Conservation
Element in that the proposed residential development will promote the
orderly conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources as
in-lieu fees will be paid.
E. The Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Open Space
Element in that 0.35 acres of the project are set aside as a private park,
which is 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 landscaped buffer along Kirby Street to
minimize 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 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: Community Development Department, City of
