SECTION 1. Findings.
1. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map furthers the goals of the General Plan for
the production of new affordable housing units in the City.
2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with Housing Element Policy
3.12.7 which endorses "amendments to the General Plan to rezone commercial,
manufacturing or public facility zoned areas for residential use, to promote higher density
infill or mixed -use housing where land development patterns are no longer valid and where
impact to Low Density Residential areas is minimal ". The subject site is in alignment with
the criteria included in this policy since it is immediately adjacent to other R -4 zoning on its
east side and directly across the street from R -2 development.
3. The proposed Rezone is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 2.5, Affordable
Housing, because the proposed 100% affordable housing project will "increase residential
opportunities in very low, low, or moderate income levels."
4. The proposed Rezone will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of those
living and working in the vicinity since the proposed change to the City's zoning maps

adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed project.
