Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written <br />and oral evidence presented to the City Council, and the findings set forth in this <br />Ordinance, the City Council of the City of Colton hereby designates the Subject Site <br />shown on the attached Exhibit Al as within the "R-1/PC" (Single Family <br />Residential/Planned Community Overlay) zoning district as defined in Chapter 18.12 and <br />Chapter 18.32 of the Colton Municipal Code. <br />SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all <br />written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds that the Application is <br />consistent with the City of Colton General Plan ("General Plan"), and will systematically <br />implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Moreover, the City Council <br />hereby makes the following specific findings in accordance with Section 18.58.050 of the <br />Colton Municipal Code and state law: <br />A. The proposed zone change is in conformity with the General Plan of <br />the City because a general plan amendment request is being considered concurrently <br />with this Application request. The general plan amendment changes the land use <br />designation of the Subject Property from Low Density Residential to Low Density <br />Residential/Planned Community." The proposed R-1/PC zoning designation is <br />consistent and in conformity with the proposed general plan amendment for the Subject <br />Site. In addition, the R-1/PC zoning district provides for land uses compatible with <br />surrounding property and the Colton Municipal Code. Moreover, the Planned <br />Community Overlay permits development of the Subject Site with greater flexibility in <br />design to encourage a variety of housing types and a more creative development <br />approach. <br />B. The proposed zone change is reasonable and beneficial at this time <br />because it will not be a significant change of the existing uses on site. The Subject Site <br />will remain available for single family residential development, with more flexible <br />development standards. <br />C. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect the <br />surrounding area or the community in general. The Subject Site is surrounded by <br />ORANGE\MXM\19245.1 - 2 - <br />
