2. Public Welfare
Approval of the proposed specific plan amendment will not create
conditions materially detrimental to public health, safety and general
welfare as the Community Development Department has determined that
this request has been previously assessed in conjunction with
Environmental Assessment 2004-526, which was prepared for Specific
Plan 2004-074, which was certified on January 4, 2005. No changed
circumstances or conditions are .proposed, which would trigger the
preparation of subsequent environmental analysis pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21166.
3. Land Use Compatibility
The proposed Specific Plan amendment incorporates land uses that are
compatible with zoning on adjacent properties. The design regulations
specified in the Specific Plan amendment for clubhouse and related
recreational facilities are compatible with the existing single-family homes
located near the specific plan area and on surrounding properties.
4. Property Suitability
The uses permitted in the specific plan amendment are suitable and
appropriate for the subject property in that the community is surrounded
by compatible existing uses such as single-family residential homes. The
current specific plan area is served without adverse impact by all
necessary public services and utilities.
