THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City of Downey hereby finds, determines, and declares that:
A. The City of Downey has considered a General Plan Amendment for
properties located at 7200 - 7262 Firestone Boulevard (hereafter known as

Trust (hereafter known as applicant). The present Land Use Designation of
said property being considered is "General Commercial"; and
B. This property's zoning is C-2, it is developed with a commercial use on
one lot, the rest of the property is vacant; the requested new Commercial/
Manufacturing designation would correspond with existing land uses and would
accommodate new appropriate land uses on this site; and
C. Said properties are irregularly shaped parcels containing a total of 4.5+
acres of land which are identified by the Assessor's Parcel Numbers of 6231-
004-009 and 010; and
D. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on this
request on November 19, 1997, and fully considered all oral and written
testimony and facts and opinions offered at that hearing; and
E. This Planning Commission concluded this revision to Downey General
Plan Land Use Element Diagram would be 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
F. The City Council has considered the effects of this 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's residents, its fiscal and
-environmental resources; and

the Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public
review process and at the hearings; and
