Findings of Fact: 2 3 4 A. General Plan Amendment No. 10-02 is internally consistent with the Genera Plan. The applicants proposed the General Plan Amendment in order to improve the infil development potential of vacant property and remove constraints on continued use an expansion of existing general commercial buildings and uses in the subject area, caused by non conformity to the regulations of the OIP land use district. The requested CG-I land us designation will facilitate improvement of the properties fronting Waterman Avenue, and the C and RU land use designations will permit vacant parcels in the subject area to be develope consistent with adjacent properties in the CO and RU land use districts, consistent with th following General Plan goals and policies: Goal 2.4: "Enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in San Bernardino strategic infill of new development and revitalization of existing development". Policv 2.4.1: "Quality infill development shall be accorded a high priority III commitment of City resources and available funding." Goal 4.2: "Retain and expand the City's governmental/public office cluster uses." Policy 4.2.4: "Revitalize and improve downtown streetscapes to attract new users an retain existing users." 5 6 7 8 9 to 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 B. General Plan Amendment No. 10-02 will not be detrimental to the public interest health, safety, convenience, or welfare. The amendment will facilitate infill development in th subject area, as well as occupancy, continued use and improvement of existing structures in th area. The properties subject to the General Plan Amendment are located on or adjacent t Waterman Avenue, a major arterial corridor. The majority of the subject area is alread developed with general commercial buildings and improvements. A full array of public service and utilities are available to serve development of the remaining vacant infill properties, or t further develop and enhance the existing commercial properties. Therefore, the General PI Amendment will serve the public interest and convenience and would not be detrimental t public health, safety or the general welfare of the City. 2 2011-100 2 C. General Plan Amendment No. 10-02 will maintain the appropriate balance of Ian uses within the City. The existing and proposed land use designations are all urban designations compatible with existing conditions on surrounding properties, including commercial, office an urban residential land uses. Existing uses occupying approximately half of the subject area woul not be expected to change, and the General Plan Amendment will facilitate compatible infil development. The minor land use changes resulting from a General Plan land use designatio change on 4.5 acres will not alter the balance of land uses in a City of over 60 square miles. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 15 D. The parcels subject to General Plan Amendment No. 10-02 are physicall suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use development. Ther are no physical constraints to development of any parcels in the subject area. The existing an proposed land use designations are all urban land use designations. Changing the General PI land use designation from Office Industrial Park to Commercial General, Commercial Office an Residential Urban will not change the requirements and effects of further developmen significantly. Therefore, the subject parcels are all suitable for development under the requeste land use designations, including, but not limited to having adequate access, available utilities compatibility with surrounding land uses, and absence of physical constraints. 10 11 12 13 14 16 17 18 19 SECTION 3. California Environmental Oualitv Act: The Mayor and Common Counci finds that General Plan Amendment No. 10-02 is exempt from the California Environmenta Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the general rul that an activity is exempt if it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirec physical change in the environment. Implementation of the General Plan Amendment will permi urban land uses very similar to those permitted under the existing OIP land use designation, an the subject area is so small that no significant effect on the environment can be anticipated t result from further development under the new land use designations. 20 21 22 23 24 25 SECTION 4.
