Pursuant to California Government Code §65860 and Section <br />18.56.050 of the City of Colton Municipal Code, and based on the entire record before <br />the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds as <br />follows: <br />A.

However, <br />approval of the zone change would increase the permitted density to comply with the <br />proposed development plan such that this area would be developed at a density of 6.9 <br />single family dwelling units per acre. <br />B.

The proposed zone change would permit lots that are <br />substantially smaller in area than typical surrounding lots. While such lots tend to be <br />more affordable, the City has had success in developing a large number of affordable <br />housing units. <br />C. The proposed zone change would adversely affect the surrounding area. <br />The proposed zone change would permit lots that are substantially smaller in area <br />than typical surrounding lots and disrupt the neighborhood lotting pattern.
