Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing on March 17, 2010, including written and oral staff reports,together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to approximately 0.58-acre of land, basically a rectangular configuration, located at 7403 Archibald Avenue, and is presently developed with a single-family residence. Said property is currently designated as Neighborhood Commercial; and b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated Neighborhood Commercial; the property to the west is designated Office Professional; the property to the east is designated Low Residential; and the property to the south is designated Low Residential; and C. This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan because it is compatible with the established use on-site and will provide for development within the district in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development. Additionally, it will provide a public benefit by preserving an existing historic landmark; and d. This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element by promoting consistent residential development/land use patterns; and e. 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. Additionally, the site is developed with an existing historic single-family home consistent with surrounding land uses in the vicinity. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size, and compatibility with the existing land use in the surrounding area, and is developed with an existing single-family home; and b. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties, and no new construction is proposed as part of the land use amendment; and C. That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines. The project will permit less density, and the effect will allow no more intense use of the property than is already being used, and since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,the proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) - Review for Exemption. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs with staff's determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the Council approves General Plan Amendment DRC2009-00716. 6. The Secretary to this Council shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
