WHEREAS, pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, Section 65850 of the Government Code of the State of California, the City has adopted Title 16, Chapter 2, Article 1, Section 16-2.01.010 of the Victorville Municipal Code, providing the authority to amend Title 16 of the Victorville Municipal Code and the various regulations, requirements, exceptions and guidelines located therein; and WHEREAS pursuant to Section 16- 2.01.020 of the Victorville Municipal Code, an application has been received from a property owner’s representative (Pontious Architecture) regarding an amendment to land use allowances of the Victorville Municipal Code within the City of Victorville, County of San Bernardino, State of California; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 16- 2.01.030 of the Victorville Municipal Code, the City of Victorville Planning D epartment prepared a Staff Report detailing the

WHEREAS, the City Council finds it appropriate to periodically reevaluate land use allowances of Title 16 of the Victorville Municipal Code to consider changes in development trends and community demands as needed to protect the public’s health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the purpose of the Municipal Code Amendment is to modify Section 16- 3.07.010 to conditionally allow for medical/dental offices within the IPD (Industrial Park Zone) district which will result in more business opportunities within the IPD zone that are consistent with existing approved uses and existing developments; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed Municipal Code Amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan and all other elements as the introduction of medical and dental offices within the IPD
(Industrial Park District) zone will compliment adjacent industrial uses and serve the needs of their employees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds on their own independent judgment that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based upon CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as there is no possibility that the proposed amendment will have a significant effect on the environment inasmuch as the proposed amendment will modify current land use allowances within a specific land use zone that will not: directly impact the environment; modify existing codes in a manner that is inconsistent with the City’s Housing Element or Land Use Element; or allow development without its own specific environmental review process in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, and after hearing all verbal and written testimony offered, including the Planning Commission’s recommendation and minutes, and after thoroughly reviewing and considering the proposal, the City Council approves the recommendation of the Planning Commission to amend the Victorville Municipal Code.
