WHEREAS, the City of Fullerton, as Lead Agency, prepared an Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration to identify the potential environmental impacts associated with the construction and implementation of the project in conformance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code, Sections 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15000 et seq.).
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council considered the information contained in the Draft Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration dated September 2021 and Technical Appendices, the Final Initial Study including Comments, Responses to Comments and Errata dated October 2021, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and the administrative record during the public review process.
WHEREAS, the City analyzed the revised project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to determine if the revised project would constitute a substantial revision of the negative declaration and whether the project would result in any new or unavoidable significant effects. Upon review, the proposed Project revisions will not result in any new Project impacts or increase the severity of a previously identified significant impact as discussed in The Pines at Sunrise Village IS / MND. Consistency analysis finds that the original Initial Study adequately addressed the potential impacts of the Project with site plan changes under consideration.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
In all respects as set forth in the Recitals of the Resolution.
City Council finds as follows:
Finding: Low / Medium Density Residential is a community development type the purpose of which is “to establish and protect opportunities for households that desire suburban living with a range of housing options, and to provide opportunities for neighborhood support uses and amenities” within a density range of 6.1 DU / acre to 15 DU / acre.
Fact: The project proposes to construct a 113-DU residential community, on a 9.93- acre site at a density of 11.3 DU/acre.
Fact: The proposed residential community provides housing options including 49 detached small-lot single single-family residential units and 64 multi-family townhome units in 14 building clusters.
Fact: The site is located directly adjacent to the commercial parcels at southwest corner of Euclid Street and Rosecrans Avenue and is directly across from the retail area at the northwest corner of the same intersection.
Fact: Surrounding residential properties include Low Density Residential (up to six DU / acre) and Medium Density Residential (15.1 DU / acre to 28 DU / acre). The proposed project’s community development type of Low / Medium Density is a blend of the density of its surroundings.
City Council approves said General Plan Revision LRP-2021-0006, subject to the following conditions of approval:
Approval of this application is contingent on the approval of Major Site Plan (ZON- 2021-0032), Tentative Parcel Map (SUB-2021-0002), Zoning Amendment (LRP-2021-0007) and Development Agreement (LRP-2021- 0008).
