SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND INTENT
The City Council of the City of Stockton finds, pursuant to SMC Section 16.116.050, that:
The proposed amendment ensures and maintains internal consistency with general land uses, objectives, policies, programs, and actions of all elements of the General Plan on balance and would not create any inconsistencies with this Development Code; The 2040 General Plan Land Use Map designates the subject site Commercial. Pursuant to Table 2-1 (General Plan Relationship to Development Code) of the General Plan, the CG Zone is compatible with the Commercial General Plan Land Use Map designation of Commercial. The proposed Prezone action would not create any inconsistencies with SMC Title 16 (Development Code) since it pertains to the Zoning Map only. The text of Title 16 (Development Code) would remain unchanged under this action.
The proposed Prezone action would further the following General Plan policies:
Goal LU-4: Attract and retain companies that offer high-quality jobs with wages that are competitive with the region and state.
Policy LU-4.2: Attract employment- and tax-generating businesses that support the economic diversity of the City.
Policy LU-6.2: Prioritize development and redevelopment of vacant, underutilized, and blighted infill areas.
The proposed Prezone action will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the City because the CG Zone designation will, as noted above, be compatible with General Plan Land Use Map designation applicable to the site.
The proposed Prezone action complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines because a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and demonstrated that with mitigation, no significant environmental effects would result from either the Prezone action or other related actions constituting the Project.
Additional Finding for Zoning Map Amendments. The site(s) would be physically suitable (including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designation(s) and anticipated land use development(s). (Prior code § 16-510.050): Based on the information included in the Project MND and the General Plan EIR, the subject site would be physically suitable (including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designation and anticipated land use development.
