On August 27, 1996, the Commission considered File Index Number DZG-32-96, a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for Assessor's Parcel Number 162-106-05, from Commercial (Office/Business Park) to Industrial (M-1/1-ight Industrial), and Assessor's Parcel Numbers 162-106-11 and 12, from M-1/SDA (Sensitive Development Area) to M-1 (deletion of the SDA overlay zone). After receiving public testimony, the Commission adopted the attached Resolution, Number R-2-96, a recommendation to the City Council to approve the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for the above referenced three parcels of property. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The City Council is required to hold a public hearing for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. As recommended by the Planning Commission, the Community Development Department is requesting a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for Assessor's Parcel Number 162-106-05, from Commercial (Office/Business Park) to Industrial (M-1/1-ight Industrial), and Assessor's Parcel Numbers 162-106-11 and 12, from M-1 /SDA (Sensitive Development Area) to M-1 (deletion of the SDA overlay zone). The requested change is more consistent and compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, if the change is approved, the current property owner of Parcels 11 and 12 (Laymon's Candy) has indicated a strong interest in purchasing Parcel 5, in order to expand his confectionery foods manufacturing business. ro�Nl ALTERNATIVES: The City Council has the authority not to grant the requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. However, it should be noted that the requested action provides the opportunity for the adjacent business (Laymon's Candy) to purchase the property and expand the business, otherwise, it is likely that the business may move out of the City.
