Resolution No. 6369
Downey City Council
SECTION 2. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at
said public hearings, the City Council further finds, determines and declares that:
1. This amendment and revision to the Downey General Plan, as recommended in
this resolution, is consistent with good planning practice, necessary and
desirable for the development of the community and necessary for the
preservation of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City of
Downey; and
7
2. This amendment to re- classify the subject area to the "Commercial
Manufacturing" land use designation is compatible and complementary to
existing conditions and adjoining property in the surrounding area, since the
existing land use mix on the properties in the area already consist of commercial
and manufacturing uses; and
3. This amendment to re- classify the subject area to the "Commercial
Manufacturing" land use designation will not result in a significant negative
impact upon the surrounding properties, since impacts identified to occur as a
result of this request will be Tess significant than impacts identified to occur
without the request; and
4. The Planning Commission has considered the effects of the decision on the
housing needs of the region in which the City is located and balanced those
needs against the public service needs of the City residents and available fiscal
and environmental resources; and
5. An Initial Study (IS) of Environmental Impact and Negative Declaration (ND)
were prepared for General Plan Amendment No. 00 -16, in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), state CEQA
Guidelines, and City of Downey's Procedures for Implementing CEQA; and
6. A public hearing was held by the Planning Commission of the City of Downey on
May 3, 2000, at which time evidence was heard on the Initial Study and Negative
Declaration prior to recommending approval of the project.
7. A public hearing was held by the City Council of the City of Downey on June 13,
2000, at which time evidence was heard on the Initial Study and Negative
Declaration prior to approving the project.
SECTION 3. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Resolution,
the City Council of the City of Downey hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 00 -16.
SECTION 4. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Resolution, the
