Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, and the findings made in this Resolution, the City Council of the City of Colton hereby amends the General Plan land use designation for the Subject Site, as set forth in Exhibit "A", from "Single Family Residential" and "General Commercial" to "Industrial Park" ("General Plan Amendment"). SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the Council finds the General Plan Amendment promotes the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and each element thereof, and leaves the General Plan a compatible, integrated, and internally consistent statement of policies. In accordance with the City of Colton General Plan, the proposed land use classification provides for land uses that are adequately buffered and which do not adversely affect surrounding residential, office, educational or commercial land use. (See Colton General Plan, p. 2-19.) Most of the existing infrastructure improvements in this area are in place so that once the Subject Property is developed it will be adequately served by surrounding public streets. Moreover, designating the Subject Property from a residential land use classification and a general commercial land use classification to an industrial park land use classification will not significantly affect the availability of land to meet the region's housing needs, since the City contains ample residential development opportunities in other areas of the City. Finally, development of the Subject Property in accordance with the goals and standards of the general plan, as well as the development standards of the underlying zoning designation will assure that development of the subject site is compatible with the goals and standards of other general plan elements. SECTION 3. The City Council has determined the proposed General Plan Amendment is in the public interest because it provides additional opportunities for industrial development and employment opportunities for Colton residents. SECTION 4. In considering this General Plan Amendment, the City Council has considered the housing needs of the region and balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
