SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND INTENT
The City Council of the City of Stockton finds, pursuant to SMC section 16.116.050(B), that:
The proposed Prezone action ensures and maintains internal consistency with the general land uses, objectives, policies, programs, and actions of all elements of the General Plan on balance. The 2040 General Plan Land Use Map designates the subject site Industrial. Pursuant to Table 2-1 (General Plan Relationship to Development Code) of the General Plan, the IL Zone is compatible with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Industrial.
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 IL 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 (MND) has been prepared and the analysis included therein demonstrates where feasible, application of mitigation measures that would reduce the impacts to a level of less than significant, from either the Prezone action or other related actions constituting the project.
Based on the information included in the accompanying MND, 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.
