SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Colton. SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Zone Change is consistent with the City of Colton General Plan ("General Plan"), and will systematically implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Moreover, the City Council hereby makes the following specific findings in accordance with Section 18.58.050 of the Colton Municipal Code and state law: A. The proposed zone change is in conformity with the General Plan of the City because a general plan amendment has been approve concurrently with the zone change request. The general plan amendment changes the land use designation of the Subject Property from "Medium Residential" to "Light Industrial". The proposed M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning designation is consistent and in conformity with the proposed amended general plan designation because designation of the Subject Site as M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning is compatible to surrounding uses as the Subject Site is located near a railroad tract. 1. In accordance with the City of Colton General Plan, the proposed land use classification provides for land uses that are adequately buffered and which do not adversely affect surrounding property. (See Colton General Plan, p. 2-24, Section C, Principle 3.) The Subject Site has, for many years been used for manufacturing/light industrial purposes. In addition, a condition has been added to require construction of a masonry wall for separation between the industrial and residential uses and the Subject Site is in the direct vicinity to M-1/ SDA (Light Industrial/Sensitive Development Area) zoned properties. 2. The Colton General Plan requires that industrial land uses be located in areas compatible with surrounding uses such as adjacent to railroads and freeways. (See Colton General Plan, p. 2-24, Section C, Principle 1.) Designating the Subject Site to Light Industrial will promote the principle of permitting such zoning near compatible surrounding uses because the Subject Sited is located near a railroad tract. 3. The Colton General Plan requires that the minimum lot size for future light and heaving industrial development should be one-half acre with single tenant use incorporated into the lay -out and building design. (See Colton General Plan, p. 2-25, Section C, Standard 3.) The Subject Site adheres to the goals and standards of the general plan, as well as the development standards of the underlying zoning designation because the Subject Site is within the M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district Subject Site lot size is approximately 2.084 acres, thereby exceeding the minimum lot size requirement for light industrial use. B. There is a need in the community for more of the types of uses permitted by the proposed zoning designation. The proposed M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning designation permits uses that will bring more light manufacturing jobs to the City of Colton.
