FISCAL IMPACT
ATTACHMENTS
A. The zone change is necessary and desirable for the development of the community in
harmony with the objectives of the General Plan and this chapter and is in the interest or
furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The subject site has a
General Plan f Use Designationof Neighborhood Commercial but dual zoning o,
the zoning map. The north 42 feet along Telegraph Road is zoned P-B (Parking Buffer)
and the remainder of the site is zoned C-2 (Commercial). Although a portion of the
property is currently z• ` •: i is zoning has been phased out • ; the Zoning
Code. The proposed zone change would bring the entire property into compliance with
the General Plan
".:• Use Designation. Furthermore,action is in compliance
Program 1.3.2.3 of the General Plan, which states, "Change the zoning of properties
where inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation." The proposed zone
change will allow the property to be consistent with current zoning and Municipal Code
designations.
Attachment "A"
B. The zone change will be compatible and complementary to existing conditions and
adjoining property in the surrounding area. The zone change will rezone the entire
property to be within the C-2 zone. This is consistent with the General Plan and as
developments and changes are made along Telegraph Road, all neighboring properti
will fllow this zone chane as well. I
og
C. The site is adequate in size to accommodate the uses permitted in the zone requested
and that all applicable property development standards can be complied with. The
minimum size requirement for new parcels in the C-2 zone is 10,000 square feet in size;
however, the subject parcel comprises 21,865.91 square feet. Inasmuch as the property
exceeds over two times the minimum required, it has sufficient size to allow C-2 uses,
such as medical offices, to be developed in a manner that will meet the development
standards set forth in the code. The proposed project demonstrates that the subject site
is able to fully comply with all development standards for the proposed C-2 zone.
The site properly relates to streets and highways designed and fully improved to carry
the type and quantity of traffic that is expected to be generated in the area and that
utilities exist or are planned which will adequately serve the property as rezoned. The
subject site is accessed via Telegraph Road, a major arterial, which was designed for
higher traffic volumes. This portion of Telegraph Road contains six travel lanes (three
each direction) and has been designed to accommodate traffic generated from the
various C-2 properties that front the street. Eliminating the P-13 zone on this site will n
increase the anticipated traffic generated by new uses since the majority of the parcel
already zoned C-2 and the P-B zone is not used in the analysis of traffic generated fro
this site. I
E. The proposed zone change is in general conformance with the General Plan and
General Plan land use designation for the parcel. The subject site has a General Plan
Land Use Designation of Neighborhood Commercial, which is implemented with this
project as it serves the surrounding neighborhood and is a smaller development than
typical general commercial such as shopping centers or hotels in the C-2 zone. Although
portions of the property are currently zoned P-B, the P-13 zoning has been phased out of
the Zoning Code. This action would allow the entire property to be zoned for commercial
use and therefore bring the parcel into general conformance with the General Plan Land
Use Designation.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
AEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Property located at 9432 Telegraph Road is hereby rezoned from dual
zone of C-2 (General Commercial) and P-13 (Parking Buffer) to single zone of C-2 (General
Commercial), as outlined in Exhibit'A' of this Ordinance.
SECTION 2. The City Planner shall update the Official Zoning Map of the City of
Downey to reflect this change.
