Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, and the findings set forth in this Ordinance, the City Council of the City of Colton hereby designates the Subject Site shown on the attached Exhibit Al as within the "R-1" (Single Family Residential) zoning district as defined in Chapter 18.12 of the Colton Municipal Code. SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds that the Application is consistent with the City of Colton General Plan ("General Plan"), and will systematically implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Moreover, the City Council hereby makes the following specific findings in accordance with Section 18.58.050 of the Colton Municipal Code and state law: A. The proposed zone change is in conformity with the General Plan of the City. The proposed change in designation to R-1 is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of "Single Family Residential." In addition, the R-1 zoning designation provides for land uses compatible with existing and surrounding property. B. The proposed pre -zone change is reasonable and beneficial at this time because it will not be a significant change from the existing uses on the Subject Site. C. The proposed pre -zone will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general. The Subject Site is surrounded by other residential uses. D. In considering this change of zone, the City 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. The redesignation of this property does not impact the City's ability to meet its housing needs as there are still a sufficient number of properties in the City that are zoned for more intense residential uses that can accommodate the City's housing needs. SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds that the proposed pre -zone is also reasonably related to the public welfare since the R-1 zone designation promotes consistency with the City's general plan and promotes the maintenance of the character of the subject area as a single family residential area. SECTION 4. The City Council, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Colton implementing procedures for CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, hereby determines that this action is categorically exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15305 and 15183. As noted the subject area is already developed with single family residential structures, consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential." Pre -zoning the subject area R-1 (Single Family Residential) will make the applicable zoning designation consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Designation. Further, since the area is built -out with existing structures, there are no project - specific significant effects. Further, none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 exist. Staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption upon approval of the proposed pre -zone ordinance with the San Bernardino County Clerk's office. 4
