NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, ordered and determined 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, the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the findings made in this Resolution, the City Council hereby approves Tentative Tract Map 37229, subject to the conditions of approval in the staff report. SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Application: A. The proposed subdivision implements the proposed General Plan (GPA-17-01) and Specific Plan (SP-01-88/SP-02-88 Amendment #6) amendments which creates internal consistency with the General Plan and the Specific Plan. The Project will further the intent of the General Plan by facilitating in-fill development while addressing the City's housing needs and by meeting the following General Plan goals and policies: LU Policy 1.2: Create housing opportunities that match employment opportunities within the community. LU Policy 2.2: Encourage infill development to be consistent with and complement the bulk, scale, intensity, and character of the existing surroundings. LU Policy 4.1: Evaluate the compatibility of new development with surrounding uses when reviewing development proposals and designing the circulation system improvements. LU Policy 4.2: Ensure that new development is compatible with the physical characteristics of the site, surrounding land uses, and available public infrastructure. HE Policy 2.1: Provide adequate sites for a range of new housing construction to meet the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) for San Jacinto of 12,026 units in the 2006-2014 planning period. The proposal continues the land use pattern proposed under the Rancho San Jacinto Specific Plan ("RSJSP") consisting of higher density residential development toward the urban center of the City (western portion of the Specific Plan area) with the lower density residential development toward the periphery of the Specific Plan. Ample opportunities exist in the surrounding area for commercial development and this site is well suited for residential development. B. The RSJSP laid out the higher density residential development toward the urban center of the City (western portion of the Speck Plan area) with the lower density residential development toward the periphery of the Specific Plan. The proposed MDR-RSJSP — Medium Density Residential — Rancho San Jacinto Specific Plan land use designation will be consistent with the development pattern of the Specific Plan and the surrounding area. There is considerable, vacant, commercial land to the west of the Specific Plan boundaries providing the needed shopping opportunities for the residential development in the area. C. Adequate City infrastructure exists to support the Project and the Project has been reviewed by Police, Fire, and Engineering to ensure that the design accommodates public and emergency vehicles including solid waste haulers, City crews, and other service providers. D. As noted in "A" above, the subdivision is designed for consistency with surrounding development in terms of both design and density. With the application of the Planned Development Permit (PDP) on the subdivision, efficient use of the land and better living environments with high standards of quality and amenities will be created. E. An initial Study was prepared for the Project to determine the Project's potential to result in significant environmental impacts. The Initial Study determined, based upon substantial evidence, that with the incorporation of identified mitigation measures, no significant impact would occur as a result of the Project. The mitigation measures required to reduce or mitigate the impacts of this Project on the environment are included in the Project design and/or the Mitigation Monitoring Program and have been made enforceable Conditions of Approval for the Project. F. The proposed General Plan (GPA-17-01) and Rancho San Jacinto Speck Plan (RSJSP) (SP-01-881SP-02-88 Amendment #6) amendment to change the commercial designation on the Subject Site to residential medium will facilitate single-family residential development that has been well designed for compatibility with the surrounding area. The implementation of the proposed conditions will ensure that the Project will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. G. The proposed subdivision as designed and conditioned will not conflict with existing easements. In fact, as noted in the Initial Study prepared for the Project, the Project corrects an issue with a private sewer line for the property to the east of TTM-37229 which was not located within an easement or accepted by the City in the past (See Utilities and Service Systems in the Initial Study). SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Application complies with CEQA for the following reasons: An environmental analysis has been conducted which evaluated information and impacts based on the specks of this proposed project. This analysis determined that, although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent and other effects will be mitigated to a level of less than significant impact. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and its associated Mitigation Monitoring Plan is recommended. The City Council finds that pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15074.1. Mitigation Measure TRAF-1 is equivalent to Mitigation Measures TRAF-2 through TRAF-5 in mitigating the Project's impacts relating to traffic and circulation. Specifically, implementation of TRAF-1 will avoid or reduce the potential impacts at issue to a level of less than significant. As such, the Council finds that deleting Mitigation Measures TRAF-2 through TRAF-5 will not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment. 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, 248 E. Main Street, San Jacinto, CA 92583. (909) 487-7330. SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.
