A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
4
<- B) That based on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Commission
DETERMINES that the CUSD LAND SWAP is consistent with the General Plan
6 and APPROVES PCD/GPC 08-03 based on the following findings:
Findings:
1. This project is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation
9 programs of the City's General Plan in that the property will continue to be used for
the existing public uses. Goal A.2 of the Land Use Element's Growth Management
10 and Public Facilities Section states: "A City which maintains a system of public
facilities adequate for the projected population". Public uses such as parks, or other
civic facilities are consistent with the High School Land Use designation and are
allowable in the corresponding Open Space zone. The project is consistent with the
goals and objectives of the Parks and Recreation Element in that the amount of
13 recreational Special Use Area will not be reduced and is consistent with Objective
B.I to provide recreation areas of 3 acres per 1,000 population. The project is also
consistent with applicable provisions of the Open Space and Conservation Element
Goal A.4 which calls for adequate open space for recreation, Objective B.7 to
provide for programmed and unprogrammed recreation areas, and Objective B.9 to
15 maintain an inventory of open space.
17 2. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15305(a) of the State CEQA
Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the
20 exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this
project.
