entertainment uses; business and professional offices; and <br />vocational schools," among which "recreational, cultural, <br />and entertainment uses" provide for community assembly <br />such as religious facilities. <br />In addition, the subject site is part of one of the five Focus <br />Areas adopted by the General Plan also known as 55 <br />Freeway and Dyer Road Focus Area. The various land use <br />designations within each Focus Area work together to <br />ensure consistency and diversity of land uses achieving <br />development policies to balance developing goals and land <br />use consistencies within the City. The five Focus Areas <br />were identified by the General Plan Advisory Committee <br />and refined through a seven-year community engagement <br />process as the areas of the City most suitable for new <br />development. The five Focus Areas are geographically <br />distributed throughout the City, and each allows the City to <br />meet its diverse needs. The purpose and intent, specific <br />objectives, and custom land uses for each focus area were <br />defined to facilitate new types of urban development and <br />further embody 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 <br />on 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 <br />freeway and city boundary are intended to reflect an urban <br />intensity and design, with inspiring building forms and public <br />spaces. The industrial/flex land use designation is meant to <br />promote large-scale office -industrial flex spaces, multilevel <br />corporate offices, and research and development in creative <br />buildings and spaces. <br />Additionally, the subject project will not be consistent with <br />the goals and policies of the General Plan, including those <br />from the Land Use Element (LU) and the Economic <br />Prosperity Element (EP). Specifically, policies 1.1 and 4.1 <br />of the Land Use Element (LU) and policies 1.9 and 2.3 of <br />the Economic Prosperity Element (EP). <br />Policy 1.1 of the LU encourages compatibility between land <br />uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. <br />The introduction of a community assembly use and a Bible <br />school to the existing office complex will generate noise, <br />traffic and queuing, solid waste generation and circulation. <br />Moreover, it will introduce assembly uses with youth <br />services in close proximity to existing industrial uses in the <br />Resolution No. 2023-084 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
