BE IT NOW THEREFORE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Colton hereby determines that the proposed Applications are not consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Colton General Plan and are not reasonably related to the public welfare of the citizens of the City and the surrounding region for the reasons stated below: A. The intent and purpose of the PC land use designation is to allow for the development of larger pieces of property using non traditional land use and development standards. Larger lot sizes allows for smaller lots to be accommodated in such a way as to permit a natural transition of higher densities to lower densities. In these Applications, the applicant does not allow for the natural transition of larger to smaller lot sizes. B. The Planning Commission finds that the Applications do not keep the same land use pattern as envisioned under the City's General Plan. There are no other smaller lots abutting the Subject Site. C. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed land use and zone change are not consistent with the intent and spirit of the General Plan inasmuch as a hotchpotch of land uses is being created contrary to the orderly development envisioned by the General Plan.. 28 II D. The land uses surrounding the Subject Site are developed using traditional ORANGE\MXM\15824.1 - I -
