That the above recitations are true and correct. Section 2. Findings. The City Council, in approving Planning Application PL2003- 045GP/RZ (General Plan Amendment) makes the following findings; to wit: General Plan Amendment PL2003 -045GP 1. That the proposed site is appropriate for development under the General Plan Land Use Designation of High Density Residential. The property is adjacent to properties designated "High Density Residential" to the east and south. The properties to the south are developed with multi - family projects and the proposed amendment would continue this pattern of development in the immediate area. The site is also identified in the Housing Element of the 1 Resolution No. 2003 -238 (page 2 of 2) City's General Plan as a site for potential redevelopment with up to 26 multi- family units. The provision of additional housing in proximity to commercial uses and jobs and the adjacent bus line would be a beneficial impact, in that it would reduce the need to travel longer distances from residences to shopping opportunities and employment centers and would make public transit readily available to a future project's residents. 2. That the proposed General Plan Amendment would be consistent with specific policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan relating to low density residential development. The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan directs that the City promote a compact urban form that is supplemented by the maintenance of urban densities such as that proposed by the General Plan Amendment. The General Plan further speaks to the provision of higher density housing to meet the needs of students. The provision of additional housing in proximity to commercial uses and jobs and the adjacent bus line would be a beneficial impact, in that it would reduce the need to travel longer distances from residences to shopping opportunities and employment centers and would make public transit readily available to a future project's residents. 3. That a duly noticed public hearing has been held to receive and consider public testimony regarding the proposed amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map. Duly noticed public hearings regarding this General Plan Amendment were held by the Planning Commission on August 28, 2003, and by the City Council on October 14, 2003. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council does hereby approve Application No. PL2003- 041GP /RZ: for .57 acre located at 6750 Commerce Boulevard (APN 143 - 380 -014) from Public /Institutional to High Density Residential, as depicted on the map attached hereto as (Exhibit "A ") and by reference thereto incorporated herein.
