Ordinance No. 2018-13R <br />Exhibit “A” <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />EXHIBIT “A” <br /> <br />FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED/FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> <br />Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments <br /> <br />1. The public health, safety, and welfare would not be adversely affected by the proposed <br />Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments. The proposed amendment develops new <br />land use limitations and revises the permitting process for carwash facilities, which <br />requires findings of necessity and strategies necessary to capture economic investment <br />and locate development appropriately. The proposed Zoning Code and Specific Plan <br />Amendments would not be detrimental to surrounding properties because no physical <br />improvements are proposed as part of these proposed amendments. Future construction <br />must comply with any applicable laws and standards. This includes the Building Code, <br />the Fire Code, and any property standards bylaws. <br /> <br />2. The proposed Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments help ensure land resources <br />are more closely aligned with critical overarching economic goals of the city, while <br />addressing neighborhood concerns about certain types of businesses. <br /> <br />3. The proposed Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments, implemented over time <br />though updated permit processing and review criteria, would likely lead to increased <br />property values by promoting higher quality carwash facility development and/or <br />preventing unwanted or unsightly forms of development in key areas where high <br />employment uses are desired. <br /> <br />4. The proposed Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments would be consistent with the <br />goals and policies of the General Plan because the amendments would not, in and of <br />themselves, result in development or any other material change to the environment. <br />Updating key portions of the Zoning Code establishes specific conditions or standards that <br />would apply to future projects to promote land use compatibility, reflect current community <br />needs, and ensure their consistent application regardless of zone district type. The <br />proposed Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments would not diminish the Quality of <br />Life Standards of the General Plan, nor adversely impact community health or natural <br />resources. This Project requires ancillary and conforming amendments to the East Valley <br />Parkway Area Plan and South Centre City Specific Plan to ensure carwash facilities are <br />reviewed and considered consistently, citywide. <br /> <br />5. This Project requires an ancillary and conforming amendments to the East Valley Parkway <br />Area Plan and South Centre City Specific Plan to ensure carwash facilities are reviewed <br />and considered consistently, citywide. No changes are proposed or required for the West <br />Mission Specific Plan since the plan defers to the citywide Zoning Code, which as <br />amended, would ensure lateral consistency. The proposed Zoning Code and Specific <br />Plan Amendments do not conflict with any specific plan.
