The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: That a proper application has been filed for Zone Change 03-001 to amend the zoning from Commercial General (CG) to High Density Residential (R-3) for the site located at 14552 Newport Avenue, known as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 84-1029. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on November 10, 2003, by the Planning Commission. That the proposed amendment to the zoning district is in the best interest of the public in that it provides housing ownership opportunities while achieving the City's share of regional housing needs identified by S CAG and ensures consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. That the proposed zone change is consistent with General Plan Amendment 03-001 and the policies of the General Plan, as evidenced by the following findings: (a) The proposed zone change from Commercial General (CG) District to Multiple Family Residential (R-3) District is consistent with the General Plan Amendment 03-001 (b) Amending the existing zoning to the High Density Residential zoning designation provides an opportunity to create additional affordable housing units to accommodate Tustin's share of regional housing needs identified by Southern California Association Government (SCAG). (c) The Multiple Family Residential (R-3) zoning district is compatible with the character of adjacent districts in that the project would provide a complementary infill for-sale residential development in an area that is concentrated with rental housing. A Final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and recommended for certification for this project in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). I1. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Zone Change 03-001, amending the Zoning designation from Commercial General (CG) to Multiple Family Residential (R-3), as identified in Exhibit A attached hereto.
