The City Council hereby adopts the recitals and findings set forth above and in the agenda report prepared in connection with this Ordinance. SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the staff report, the City Council makes the following findings: The proposed change of land use designations is consistent with the overall objectives of the Colton General Plan. Removing the existing industrial land use designations from these properties and applying designations that will reduce impacts on residential neighborhoods and community at large is consistent with the following policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan: • Policy LU -1.6: "Ensure that new development projects are compatible with permitted, well-maintained uses and buildings in the surrounding neighborhood or district." • Policy LU -6.2: "Discourage the establishment of incompatible uses in proximity to each other." 2. The proposed change of land use designations will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general since the proposed designations will prohibit industrial uses that are most likely to have the greatest impacts on residential neighborhoods and community at large. 3. The General Plan will remain internally consistent following adoption of this Amendment. SECTION 3. The City Council of the City of Colton, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), finds that, based on the basis of an Initial Study prepared to assess environmental impacts of the project, the project would not create any significant adverse impacts on the environment and a Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared to meet CEQA requirements. Therefore, the City Council hereby adopts the Negative Declaration. SECTION 4. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1, 2, and 3 of this Resolution, the City Council hereby approves the General Plan Amendment to change the land use designations of the following parcels, which excludes Areas 8 and 10a, as indicated below: Proposed change from "Light Industrial' to "General Commercial' for the parcel bounded by La Cadena Drive to the west, Fogg Street to the south and BNSF railroad line to the east, and located at 1070 S La Cadena Drive - APN 0163-273-07 - identified as "Area 9" on attached map exhibits. 2.
