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, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the administrative record of the written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, and the findings set forth in this Resolution, the City Council approves General Plan Amendment (GPA 16-01); and Section 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council, including the staff report, and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, including the staff report, Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) the City Council find as follows: a. The proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA-16-01) to change the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation on the Subject Site to Community Commercial (CC) creates consistency with the proposed Change of Zone to General Commercial (CG), and the Project will further the intent of the General Plan by facilitating development at the intersection of Esplanade Avenue and Palm Avenue. This location is advantageous for development. The Application furthers the intent of the General Plan by meeting the following General Plan goals and policies: LU Policy 1.1: Promotes a land use composition in San Jacinto that provides a balance or surplus between the generation of public revenues and the cost or providing community services and facilities. LU Policy 1.7: Encourages additional retail development to increase sales tax revenues and expand the range of services available to the community. LU Policy 2.1: Assures that new development is complimentary to the existing character of the City. LU Policy 2.4: Ensures that adequate infrastructure and public services are provided in concert with development so that no negative fiscal or service impacts occur as a result of new development. LU Policy 2.7: Locates retail and commercial land uses along major circulation routes at major intersections where there is a maximum access and visibility. LU Policy 2.8: Directs higher density housing and higher intensity employment around commercial uses and job centers near transit nodes and areas served by a well-developed transportation network. b. The proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA-16-01)to change the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation on the subject property to Community Commercial (CC): i. Is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. ii. Will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. iii. 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 most intense uses are oriented to the Ramona Expressway while residential uses for seniors and retention basin open space are placed along the western boundary that will buffer adjoining single family residential uses from potential noise, glare, and similar nuisances from commercial activities. Likewise, the Conditions of Approval require a right-to-farm covenant to protect farm land to the north of the Subject Site. iv. 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 Subject Site is located at the intersection of Ramona Expressway, an ultimate 6-lane Urban Arterial with restricted access and Main Street, an ultimate 44ane Major Street The Project provides a range of uses that enable an internal trip capture and pass by trips. Examples include hotel guests and senior housing residents that begin and end their trips within the Subject Site by dining at restaurants within the Project; and pass by trips where vehicles already on the road that chose to stop at the service station or restaurants enroute to their destination.The Project includes provisions to meet California Calgreen standards by providing accommodations for alternative forms of travel. The Conditions of Approval require a number of circulation improvements to assure that the circulation system maintains the service level required by the General Plan. v. 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 because it furthers Housing Goal 3, to assist in the development of a housing supply which is affordable to all segments of the community. Specifically, Policy 3.2 which is to "Assist with the development of housing that targets the needs of special populations, including the elderly, disabled, farmworkers and homeless." and Policy 3.3 which is to "Promote the development of attractive and safe housing to meet community needs". The Housing Element identifies an average single family household size of 3.34 persons per unit. Under the existing general plan and zoning designations,the Subject Site could generate 112 dwelling units (22.43 net acres times 5 units per acre). The number of dwelling units multiplied by the average household size would generate a population of 375 people. The proposed senior residential development would allow a maximum of 114 dwelling units. Assuming all units were occupied by two people, the population would be 228. vi. Is integrated and compatible with the Conservation Element in that it provides uses which promote the orderly conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources because it provides commercial services in an area of the City lacking these services, serves a residential segment that is underserved in the City, and includes a needed medical care facility to serve the community. The Subject Site contains sensitive wildlife resources where a trapping and relocation program has been approved by the County RCA and state resources agencies, along with a cash endowment to maintain the habitat of the receiving site in perpetuity. vii. Is integrated and compatible with the Open Space Element in that it provides land uses consistent with and that promote the adopted goals and policies for preserving and managing open space within the City because in addition to the payment of development impact fees to mitigate impacts on recreational facilities and open space within the City, the Project includes active recreation facilities associated with the senior residential housing development. viii. 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 more intense commercial uses are placed along the Ramona Expressway where vehicle noise is greater than allowed for residential uses; because the senior residential use is placed along the western Project boundary to provide maximum separation between this residential use and traffic noise,while also serving to buffer future adjoining single family residential uses from noise within the development; and because the proposed car wash is subject to further noise attenuation measures under the Conditions of Approval once the type of facility and design is known. ix. 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 all future uses will be subject to current building code standards for construction and the technical analysis prepared for the Project do not identify significant safety risks within the Subject Site. x. Is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities (e.g., fire protection, police protection, potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.), and the proposed uses and development of the Property will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. Section 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the staff report, the City Council finds that the nature and extent of all dedications, reservations, impact fees, and other exactions are roughly proportionate to the impacts created by the use of the Subject Site as permitted by the Planned Development Permit,the Site Plan and Development Review, and the Minor Use Permits. Section 4. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the staff report, the City Council finds that the Project will comply with CEQA for the following reasons: a. Based upon the information contained in the initial Study and pursuant to the requirements of CEQA; it has been determined that this Project, with the incorporation of mitigation measures, will not have a significant impact on the environment. 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 are included as part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for this Project.
