CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT(CEOA)
The proposed project is exempt from CEQA,pursuant to Section 15301, existing facilities, as no
revisions to the existing development on the subject site are proposed in conjunction with this
application.
ANALYSIS
As noted above, the applicant is requesting approval of a Zoning Map Amendment to change the
zoning designation of the subject property from Office Industrial Park (OIP) to Industrial Light
(IL). Refer to Attachment B. No changes to the General Plan Map are proposed in conjunction
with this application, as the General Plan land use designation for the subject site is Industrial,
with which both the OIP and IL zones are consistent.
The applicant is proposing to sell the site, and therefore, is requesting the IL zoning designation
for the site to allow a wider variety of land uses on the site. No new development is proposed on
the site at this time.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, in that per Table LL-2,"Lard
Use and Zoning Designations Consistency" in the General Plan Land Use Element, the OIP
and IL zones are both considered industrial designations, and therefore, the change of
zoning designation of the subject site from OIP to IL will be consistent with the General
Plan.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City, in that as noted above, there is no development
proposed in conjunction with this application and the change in zoning designation of the
site from OIP to IL will maintain an industrial land use classification on the site.
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the
City, in that as noted in Findings 1 and 2, above, the change in zoning designation of the
subject site from OIP to IL will maintain the industrial General Plan land use designation for
the site. Thus,the balance of land uses in the City will not be affected by this proposal.
4. The subject parcel(s) is physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision
of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for
the requested land use designation(s) and the anticipated land use development(s). The site
is rectangular, generally flat, and is approximately 19 acres in size. As noted above,the site
is presently developed with an industrial use, and the surrounding properties are also
developed with a variety of business park and industrial uses. The site has direct access
from Tippecanoe Avenue on the west, Victoria Avenue to the south and San Bernardino
Road to the north,and is presently served by all utilities. Further,the proposal to change the
zoning designation of the subject site from OIP to IL will maintain the industrial General
Plan land use designation for the site. Therefore,the subject parcel is physically suitable for
the requested zoning designation and the anticipated land use development.
CONCLUSION
Staff believes that the project proposal satisfies all Findings of Fact for approval of Development
Code Amendment(Zoning Map Amendment)No 13-02.
