CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 69 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVAL: Henpfl. Garcia, Co'Manager FROM: 4avi.Pamor,*ounity Development Director SUBJECT: First Reading of an Amendment to the General Plan, Zone Change, and Environmental Assessment for File Index Number DZG-11- 99, a five acre parcel located at Pellisier Road, just north of the Riverside County Line. DATE: June 10. 1999 BACKGROUND: An application was received from Mr. Doug Winterton requesting a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment for his five acre parcel of vacant land, located at Pellisier Road, just north of the Riverside County Line, west of La Cadena Drive. On May 11, 1999, the Planning Commission considered File Index Number DZG-11-99, a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for Assessor's Parcel Number 163-331-25, from Low Density Residential (LD/R-1) to Light Industrial (LUM-1). After receiving public testimony, the Commission made an environmental finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The Commission adopted the attached Resolution, Number R-02-99, a recommendation to the City Council to approve the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change for File Index Number DZG-11-99, and the filing of a Negative Declaration. 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 163-331-25, from Low Density Residential (LD/R-1) to Light Industrial (LI/M-1). The requested change is consistent and compatible with the surrounding uses, being adjacent to M-1, industrially zoned and developed property. Additionally, being located adjacent to the Riverside County Flood Control Channel, and the lack of City water and sewer facilities on or to that property make it less likely to be developed as residential than industrial. The on-site and surrounding conditions make development more feasible as an industrial site than as a residential site. Item # 3
