The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I · The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A® Government Code Section 65356.1 provides that when it is deemed to be in the public interest, the legislative body may amend a part of the General Plan. B· In accordance with Government Code Section 65356.1, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on the application of the Diversified Real Property Management to reclassify the land use designation from SF (Single Family) to MF (Multi-Family Residential) on the properties located at 18281 Warren Avenue, 14442, 14392, 14382 and 14352 Holt Avenue. Ce The existing single-family designation is in the best interest of the public and surrounding property owners, in that Warren Avenue is a more appropriate buffer between multi-family residences and the existing single-family neighborhood. De The proposed land use change is not consistent with other elements of the General Plan, particularly the Land Use Element and the Housing Element which discourage creation of additional multi-family designated land, in that there is currently an imbalance of renter-occupied housing versus owner-occupied housing and the City cannot require owner- occupied versus renter-occupied housing as both would be permitted within a multi-family designation. E® The proposed amendment to multi-family residential is inappropriate because the proposal would be inconsistent with the 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 II 12 13 14 ~5 16 17 ~8 i9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 2798 Page 2 predominate character of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is comprised of very low density residential developments with large setbacks and considerable open space. The amendment would encourage larger buildings, less open space, smaller dwelling units and considerably smaller setbacks from Holt Avenue. Fe The proposed land use amendment is inconsistent with the North Tustin Specific Plan which designated properties adjacent to Holt Avenue for single-family development and encourages the preservation of existing single-family neighborhoods. II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council deny General Plan Amendment 90-01. PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin, held on the 9th day of July, 1990.
