The City Council does hereby find and determine as follows: a. Application for a Zone Change 89-02 was filed at the City of Santa Clarita by Alan and Dorothy Seward on January 18, 1989. The application relates to the real property located at 24523 Chestnut Street, on the west side of the street, between Lyons Avenue and Eleventh Street in Newhall, Assessor's Parcel No. 2831 -WS -016. b. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the application on Tuesday, June 6, 1989, and continued the item to July 18, 1989 at the City of Santa Clarita City Council Chambers, at 7:30 p.m. At that time, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. P89-19 recommending approval to the City Council of the requested zone change, and directed the applicant to work with staff on a site plan (Exhibit "A") for the parking design for the site. c. The applicant appealed the conditions of approval drafted by staff in reviewing the site plan. At their regularly scheduled meeting of September 19, 1989, the Planning Commission approved the revised site plan with amended conditions, one of those conditions being that the City Council must approve the zone change for the site plan to take effect. The applicant has also requested minor changes to the conditions approved by the Planning Commission. The applicant's proposed conditions of approval are attached (Exhibit "B"). d. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on Tuesday, March 27, 1990 at the City of Santa Clarita City Council Chambers, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, at 6:30 p.m. SECTION 2. Based upon the testimony and other evidence received at the public hearing, and upon studies and investigations made by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and on their behalf, the City Council further �." finds and determines as follows: a. The subject property is presently improved with a single-family residence and a converted garage, which are currently in use as an office. The property is a rectangularly -shaped, 6,250 square foot parcel located on the west side of Chestnut Street, between 11th Street and Lyons Avenue. b. The original request was for a change of zone from R-3 (limited multiple residence) to C-3 (unlimited commercial), to accommodate a 1,838 square foot office use project on the site. The applicant amended the request to the C-1 (restricted business) zone. c. The size and shape of the site is suitable for the proposed use. d. The recommended C-1 zoning classification will not create any adverse impacts to the environment which cannot be mitigated through available controls. e. The proposed site plan (Exhibit "A") is consistent with adjacent and surrounding land uses. f. Establishment of the recommended zone at the subject property is in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare and in conformity with good zoning practice. g. Rezoning the subject property to C-1 is more appropriate than allowing the R-3 designation to remain, since the C-1 zone would legalize a use which is compatible with other existing uses. h. The City of Santa Clarita is proceeding in a timely fashion with the preparation of a general plan. There is a reasonable probability that this project will be consistent with the general plan proposal currently being considered or studied, that there is little or no probability of substantial detriment to or interference with the future adopted general plan if the proposed resolution is ultimately inconsistent with that plan, and that the proposed project complies with all other applicable requirements of state law and local ordinances. SECTION 3. The City Council has reviewed the negative declaration prepared for this project and finds that it was prepared in accordance with the terms of CEQA. The City Council further finds that this project as described will not have significant effect on the environment, and hereby approves the negative declaration. SECTION 4. In acting on the rezoning applicaton, the City Council has considered certain principles and standards, and finds and determines as follows: a. That modified conditions warrant a revision in the zoning plan as it pertains to the subject property; and b. That a need for the proposed zone classification exists within the area of the subject property; and c. That the subject property is a proper location for the C-1 zone classification. d. The placement of the proposed zone at the subject property will be in the interest of public health, safety and general welfare, and in conformity with good zoning practice; and SECTION S. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council does hereby ordain that the application for a zone change is approved, that the site plan (Exhibit "A") and conditions of approval (Exhibit "B") are approved, and that the official zoning map of the City of Santa Clarita is hereby amended so that the subject property is rezoned from R-3 to C-1.
