Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, and the findings set forth in this Ordinance, the City Council of the City of Colton hereby designates the Subject Site shown on the attached Exhibit Al as within the "M-1" (Light Industrial) zoning district as defined in Chapter 18.26 of the Colton Municipal Code. SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds that the Application 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 request is being considered concurrently with this Application. The general plan amendment changes the land use designation of the Subject Site from "Medium Density Residential" to "Light Industrial." The proposed zoning designation is consistent and in conformity with the proposed general plan amendment for the Subject Site. In addition, the M-1 zoning district provides for land uses compatible with surrounding property and the Colton Municipal Code. B. The proposed zone change is reasonable and beneficial at this time because it will not be a significant change of the existing uses on site. C. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general. The Subject Site is surrounded by industrial and vacant uses. D. The City Council has determined the proposed zone change is in the public interest because it provides additional employment opportunities in the City of Colton. E. In considering this change of zone, the City has considered the housing needs of the region and balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. The redesignation of this property from residential uses to industrial uses does not impact the City's ability to meet its housing needs as there are still a sufficient number of properties in the City that are zoned for residential uses that can accommodate the City's housing needs. SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council finds the Application complies with CEQA and hereby adopts the negative declaration for the following reasons: ORANGE\MXM\19705.1 - 2 -
