The proposed zone change is in conformity with the General Plan of the City because the general plan land use designation of the Subject Property is "Low Density Residential". The proposed R-1/PC (Single Family Residential -Planned Community) zoning designation is consistent and in conformity with the general plan designation. B. There is a need in the community for more of the types of uses permitted by the proposed zoning designation. The proposed R-1/PC (Single Family Residential -Planned Community) zoning designation permits uses that are typical of single family residential land uses, including single family dwellings, not more than one dwelling per lot, agriculture, single-family mobilehomes, through the design review process, and utility distribution facilities and similar uses that are more compatible with surrounding residential and light industrial uses. Moreover, the City of Colton General Plan notes that the residential Planned Community designation encourages sustained growth and investment by minimizing governmental constraints, providing for design flexibility, higher quality of improvements and minimizing constraints to land use allocations. (See Colton General Plan, p.2-21.) Designation of the Subject Property from R-1 to R-1/PC will facilitate and encourage a high level of improvement quality because more land will be made available to generate such opportunities. C. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general. The Single Family Residential - 191
