SECTION 3. 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 in accordance with the Colton Municipal Code: 1. The proposed change of zone will be in conformity with the general plan, subject to adoption of the concurrent general plan amendment requested. The establishment of the R-3 zone at this particular location, along the commercial/institutional corridor along La Cadena Drive which includes the Civic Center, a public park, and commercial uses including residential structures that have been reused for office uses, is consistent with the Principles for Residential Land Uses, which states: "Principle 4. Medium- and high-density residential developments next to large open spaces... major activities, such as shopping and employment centers, is critical to an efficient neighborhood design and long-term integrity of the residential environment." 2. The proposed change of zone is necessary due to the need in the community for more of the types of uses permitted by the proposed R-3 zone, such as residential development in general but particularly senior housing, as proposed by the project, due to the demolition of the previous senior housing project within the site and lack of units to replace and fulfill the need for housing created by the removal of these units from available housing inventory. 3. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the community in general since the site is located within a transitional area between properties either zoned for or development as single-family and multiple -family residential uses and the commercial/institutional corridor along La Cadena Drive which includes the Civic Center, a public park, and commercial uses including residential structures that have been reused for office uses. As such, residential development in general and the senior housing project proposed, in particular, allowed by the proposed R-3 zone, would be appropriate at the location and would not create adverse impacts to the surrounding area or the community at large. SECTION 4. Based upon the findings set forth herein the City Council hereby adopts a Zone Change amending the City Zoning Map, a depicted on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, for (1) reclassification of a 2.3 -acre property located at 501 North 9ch Street (also known as 510 North La Cadena Drive and also bounded by E Street and F Street); Assessor's Parcel Number: 016205220; from the P -F, Public Facilities, zone to the R-3, Multiple -Family Residential zone and (2) reclassification of a 0.17 -acre property located at 552 North La Cadena Drive; Assessor's Parcel Number: 016205206; from the C-2, General Commercial zone to the R-3, Multiple -Family Residential zone and adoption of the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). SECTION 5. Invalidity. If any sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.
