RESIDENTIAL (6-13 UNITS PER GROSS ACRE) FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 125 S. SAN TOMAS AQUINO ROAD.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community
Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council did find as follows with respect
to application PLN2011-258:
Environmental Finding
A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project concluding that there are
no significant unmitigated impacts associated with this project, pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Evidentiary Findings
2. This proposed General Plan Amendment covers a 2.72 gross acre area.
The project site is currently developed with an auto service center on a parcel located at the
northwest corner of San Tomas Aquino and Bucknall Roads, within the C-1 (Neighborhood
Commercial) Zoning District. The property borders commercial uses to the north, residential
uses to the west, and roadways to the south and east.
4. The proposed amendment will allow the development of this lot to continue as a transition
between commercial developments and existing residential developments.
5. The proposed land use designation of Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross
acre) continues the existing land use pattern found in the surrounding neighborhood resulting in
amore desirable environment and use of the land than would also be allowed within the
proposed General Plan Land Use Designation.
The development will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the
harmonious development of the immediate area.
7. The proposed land use amendment is consistent with other General Plan Elements as follows:
a. The residential designation allows the creation of additional housing opportunities and
furthers the objectives of the Housing Element by diversifying available housing
opportunities.
b. The intensity of development is supported by the existing circulation system and is
consistent with the Circulation Element.
c. The project site is so situated that it is located within ahalf-mile of open space, parks, and
recreational facilities furthering the Open Space goals of the community.

Page 2
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan.
2. The proposed General Plan Land Use Designation change will not be detrimental to the health,
safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The parcel is physically suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access, and
compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested development.
4. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required Conditions
of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves of a General Plan Amendment
(PLN2011-258) to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation from Neighborhood Commercial
to Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre) for property located at 725 S. San
Tomas Aquino Road (attached Exhibit A).
