Page 2
Reserve (OSR) to Multi -use Commercial Residential (MCR-1, MCR-2), Light Commercial,
Single Family Residential (RS-4), Civic Institutional, and Open Space Reserve is consistent
with the General Plan, since the approximately 100-acre Westside Specific Plan is a
unique since it contains conflicting land use pattern and has resulted in deterioration and
health and safety concerns for its resident, and the proposed General Plan Amendment
would serve in the future to reduce the continue proliferation of conflicting land use
patterns.
2. That the proposed amendment is in the public interest, since it will allow for a new mixed
use development that will provide convenient services to the community and it meets the
goals of the General Plan to expand the amount of retail space in the City.
3. That granting of the General Plan Amendment further enhances the goals of the General
Plan to encourage residential development near transit services, and increase the
opportunities for multi -modal transit services.
4. That granting of this General Plan Amendment to change the land use designations for
the Westside Specific Plan area is consistent with all other City plans and ordinances,
since the proposed land use changes, carries out the intent of the General Plan to create
services near residences, encourages redevelopment of both commercial and
residences while further expanding the goals of expanding the habitat restoration in and
around Paradise Creek and increasing recreational opportunities for local residents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed
Amendment to the General Plan together with any comments received during the public review
process, and finds on the basis of the whole record and any comments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Amendment to the General Plan is
approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and
