NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning

A)
B)
That the above recitations are true and correct.
That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of CANTAFUNI RANCH - GPA 01-09, based
on the following findings:
Findings:
1.
2.
The Planning Commission finds that the project is in conformance with the Elements of
the City’s General Plan and Specific Plan SP 191 based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated October 20, 2004 including, but not limited to the following: that the
proposed change in General Plan Land Use Designations from Residential Low-
Medium Density (RLM, 0-4 du/ac) and Open Space (OS) to FUM, Residential
Medium-High Density (RMH, 8-15 du/ac), and OS land use designations are
compatible with the surrounding land uses in that the adjacent lands are designated
for RLM and OS land uses; that the RMH land use designation implements the
density of 12.88 du/ac proposed for the multi-family project site; that the RLM land
use designation implements the Sunny Creek Specific Plan SP 191 densities of 1-2
du/ac and minimum lot size requirements of 1/2 acre; that the land use change to
OS is based on the environmental constraints of the property and is
environmentally and topographically appropriate for the site in that the slopes and
the habitat areas included in the open space preserve areas are found to be “equal to
or better” than the “hardline areas” shown in the City’s draft Habitat Management
Plan and that these areas are proposed to be designated as Open Space on the
General Plan Land Use Map.
That the boundaries of the existing OS designated lands do not coincide with the
boundaries of the HMP hardline conservation area. Policy C.20 of the Open Space
Planning and Protection Section of the General Plan Open Space and Conservation
Element requires findings to adjust the boundaries of any open space shown on the
“Official Open Space and Conservation Map” dated September 1994. The
necessary findings are:
A. The proposed open space is equal to or greater than the area depicted on the
Official Open Space Map. The proposed adjustment in open space

The proposed open space area is of environmental quality equal to or greater
than that depicted on the Official Open Space Map. The open space
adjustment will eliminate the RLM land use designations on the open space
preserve areas and will preserve additional acres of open space within a
critical wildlife habitat corridor; and
The proposed adjustment to open space is within close proximity to the open
space presently shown on the Official Open Space Map. The proposed
amendment will change and increase the acreage of open space within the
Cantarini Ranch project boundaries by 46.4 acres. The additional open
space is contiguous with existing open space.
This approval is granted subject to the certification, adoption and approval of the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR 02-02) and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, LFMP 15(C) and ZC 00-05 and is subject to all conditions
contained in Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5749,5750 and 5752 for those other
approvals incorporated herein by reference.
