WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered staff reports dated January 28 and July

Declaration; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings of January 28 and July 22, 2014, the Planning
Commission reviewed the CEQA evaluation and by Resolution No. 2014-18, dated July 22, 2014
recommended to the City Council adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, and recommended support for application to LAFCO for the
proposed annexation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby recommends to
the City Council pre -zoning of the subject parcels in accordance with the General Plan
designation for the lands, such that 5.6 acres of subdivision lands nearest Corona Road (north
portion of APN 137-061-009 and 011) and the three approximately Yz-acre annexation parcels
(APN 137-061-007, 008, and 010) are pre -zoned R1 (Residential 1) and the approximately 4.5
acres of the subdivision lands farthest from Corona Road (south portion of APN 137-061-009 and
011) are pre -zoned R2 (Residential 2) based on the findings made below:
1. The proposed amendment to the Implementing Zoning Ordinance to pre -zone the
subject parcels RI and R-2 is consistent with and implements the Very Low Density
Residential and Low Density Residential land use classifications of the General Plan,
as stated on Page 10 of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance (IZO).
2. The proposed pre -zoning is consistent with the public necessity, convenience, and
general welfare in that it will implement General Plan and specific planning for the
area out to the Urban Growth Boundary, and with R1 and R2 pre -zoning designations
that are consistent with and compatible with similarly zoned areas adjacent to the
Project area, all as further described and analyzed in the December 17, 2013 staff
report
