c. The application is part of a series of applications relating to General Plan

site to Low-Medium Residential (4-8 dwelling units per acre); and
d. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan
and will provide for development within the district in a manner consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and related development; and
e. This amendment promotes the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element;
and
f. This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent
properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding
properties.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in
terms of access, size, and compatibility with existing land uses in the surrounding area; and
b. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan and will not
result in any internal inconsistences with the General Plan, Development Code, and Industrial
Area Specific Plan and would not have significantly greater impacts on the environment nor the
surrounding properties than would be expected under the existing land use designation.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Negative Declaration,
together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the
application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends the City Council adopt a
Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows:
a. The Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated
thereunder; that said Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflects the
independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and, further, this Commission has reviewed
and considered the information contained in said Negative Declaration with regard to the
application.
b. Based upon the changes and alterations which have been incorporated into the
proposed project, no significant adverse environmental effects will occur.
c. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole,
the Initial Study and Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the proposed
project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat upon which
wildlife depends. Further,based upon substantial evidence contained in the Negative Declaration,
the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission during the
public hearing, the Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set
forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
