lessen the significant effects, as explained in the final EIR (IS-88-55)
and explanation of findings incorpora1-r1 in the City Council resolution
certifying the final EIR; and

general plan amendment is in the public interest since it is consistent
with the City's housing element policies, and higher density housing is
appropriate for the site, near regional shopping and transportation
facilities; and
RP IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the specific
plan and general plan amendment will be consistent with City policy to
protect established single-family neighborhoods from inappropriate higher
density or non-residential development, since conditions of approval
require design itu3ifications regarding location and building pad elevation
for structures along the eastern portion of the site, and since no direct
access between the site and adjacent single-family residential
neighborhoods will be provided; and

plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and with the proposed RM-1
designation since it will provide increased homeownership opportunities in

a density of approximately 11.7 units per acre, and the RM-1 designation
permits 22.9 units per acre; and
