DZG-32-96 August 27, 1996 Page 2 ANALYSIS: GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The General Plan designation of parcel 162-106-05 is Office/Business Park. The requested action would change the designation to Light Industrial, which is more consistent with the surrounding designation. It is staffs opinion that approval of the amendment to the General Plan is appropriate and would be consistent with the intent and guidelines of the General Plan, taking into consideration that the site is immediately adjacent to another light industrial zone. ZONING CONSISTENCY The zoning classification of parcel 162-106-05 is Business Park. The Business Park Zone is intended to provide for the development of business and professional offices, with a high standard of development which will improve the overall quality of the community. The requested zone change is to M-1 (Light Industrial). A zone change to an M-1 Zone would make the property more consistent with the adjacent property owned by Laymon's Candy. The Laymon property is currently zoned M-1 with a SDA (Sensitive Development Area) overlay zone. Staff has determined that the SDA overlay is not necessary at this location, and that the designation should be deleted. It is staff's opinion that the proposed zone change will be in conformity with the Zoning Ordinance and would not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general. COMPATIBILITY TO SURROUNDING USES The project site is located in an area fully developed with residential, commercial and industrial uses. It is staff's opinion that the proposed project will be consistent and compatible with the surrounding uses. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: An Initial Study and Environmental Checklist was processed by staff and distributed for comments to all Responsible Agencies. There were no responses received from outside agencies. On August 5, 1996, the Design Review Committee considered the proposed project and approved standard Conditions of Approval. The Committee recommends that the Commission support and concur with the standard Conditions of Approval for the proposal and the filing of a Negative Declaration. Staff concurs with the recommendation from the Design Review Committee.
