policies and objectives of the General Plan in that it would effectively
modify the zoning of a vacant lot to include its development as part of a
comprehensive specific plan. Specifically, the zone change, which
consists of adding the Center Specific Plan Overlay to an adjacent
property, would satisfy Goal 3.0 of the Land Use Element which states
that the City should provide for revitalization of deteriorating land uses and
properties. The proposed zone change would also satisfy Goal 1 of the
Housing Element which calls for the City to maintain and enhance the
quality of existing residential housing and neighborhoods.
b) The amendment will not adversely affect surrounding
properties.
The zoning code map amendment would place an abandoned and
dilapidated property into a specific plan overlay district in order to
redevelop the property as a part of a comprehensive plan for a fifty one
(51) unit detached condominium development. The redevelopment of this
property would enhance adjacent residential and commercial areas.
c) The amendment promotes public health, safety and general
welfare.
The zoning code map amendment would promote the public health, safety
and general welfare of adjacent development and the City as a whole
because it would provide for the redevelopment of a property that is
abandoned and dilapidated. The zone change would further the goal to
improve the area with a detached condominium development that would
enhance the areas and properties around the site, while continuing to
provide cellular service to the community through the relocation of two (2)
existing wireless carrier facilities on the same site.
d) The amendment serves the goals and purposes of the
zoning code.
The zone code map serves the goals and purposes of the zoning code in
that it provides for the orderly development of a new detached
condominium community on an area that is currently in a state of
disrepair. Designating the subject site with the Kennan Center Specific
Plan Overlay will include the property in a residential development that
enhances the character of the community and eliminates the blighted and
unsafe conditions that currently exist.
SECTION 3. The Zoning Classification of the Property is hereby
reclassified from R-1 to zone R-1(SP).
