In addition, the subject site is part of one of the five Focus Areas <br />adopted by the General Plan also known as 55 Freeway and <br />Dyer Road Focus Area. The various land use designations within <br />each Focus Area work together to ensure consistency and <br />diversity of land uses achieving development policies to balance <br />developing goals and land use consistencies within the City. The <br />five Focus Areas were identified by the General Plan Advisory <br />Committee and refined through a seven-year community <br />engagement process as the areas of the City most suitable for <br />new development. The five Focus Areas are geographically <br />distributed throughout the City, and each allows the City to meet <br />its diverse needs. The purpose and intent, specific objectives, <br />and custom land uses for each focus area were defined to <br />facilitate new types of urban development and further embody <br />the City's core values. <br />Furthermore, the 55 Freeway and Dyer Road Focus Area is <br />intended to transition from an area that exclusively focused on <br />professional office to an area that supports a range of <br />commercial, and industrial/flex development. Moreover, the <br />overall scale and experience of the focus area along the freeway <br />and city boundary are intended to reflect an urban intensity and <br />design, with inspiring building forms and public spaces. The <br />industrial/flex land use designation is meant to promote large- <br />scale office -industrial flex spaces, multilevel corporate offices, <br />and research and development in creative buildings and spaces. <br />Additionally, the subject project will not be consistent with the <br />goals and policies of the General Plan, including those from the <br />Land Use Element (LU) and the Economic Prosperity Element <br />(EP). Specifically, policies 1.1 and 4.1 of the Land Use Element <br />(LU) and policies 1.9 and 2.3 of the Economic Prosperity Element <br />(EP). <br />Policy 1.1 of the LU encourages compatibility between land uses <br />to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. The <br />introduction of a community assembly use and a Bible school to <br />the existing office complex will generate noise, traffic and <br />queuing, solid waste generation and circulation. Moreover, it will <br />introduce assembly uses with youth services in close proximity <br />to existing industrial uses in the area, counter to this General Plan <br />policy. Additionally, the Flex-3 land use designation allows future <br />developments with clean industrial and office uses in accordance <br />with Table LU-A-2, which specifies interim industrial flex uses. <br />Community assembly such as churches is not permitted. <br />Irreconcilable land use conflicts between a sensitive receptor <br />such as the proposed church and its school operations will be <br />generated if the CUP application were approved with future <br />Resolution No. 2023-XX <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
