BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Rialto as follows:
WHEREAS, the City of Rialto adopted a General Plan Update in March of 2010; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65300 requires each City to adopt a General Plan “for the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which bears relation to its planning”.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rialto as follows:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above of this Resolution are true and correct and incorporated herein.
On September 18, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the proposed focused update to the General Plan at an advertised public hearing.
SECTION 2. Based on substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the public hearing conducted with regard to the focused update to the City of Rialto General Plan, including written staff reports, verbal testimony, site plans, other documents herein, the Planning Commission hereby determines the GPA is designed to guide the long-term growth and development (20-30 years) through a framework of goals, policies, and implementation programs.
