<br /> WHEREAS, on January 26, 2023, with adoption of Resolution No. 23-1359, the twenty-
<br />one housing opportunity sites shown in Exhibit A were designated Mixed Use and Mixed Use
<br />Business Park/Housing Element Sites Overlay (HESO), Public Health and Safety/HESO, Public
<br />Health and Safety and Low Density/HESO; Public Health and Safety and Low Density and
<br />Agriculture and Grazing/HESO, Commercial/HESO, Commercial and Mixed Use/HESO,
<br />Business Park/HESO, Medium Density/HESO, Public and Institutional/HESO, General and
<br />Limited Industrial/HESO, Low Density/HESO, and Schools/HESO in the General Plan; and

<br />
<br />WHEREAS, the City prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) for
<br />the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element (SCH 2022040091), which was certified by the City
<br />Council on January 26, 2023, by Resolution No. 23-1357. The Program EIR fully analyzed the
<br />impacts of the Housing Element, including development of housing on each of the housing
<br />opportunity sites subject to the proposed rezonings, and identifies various mitigation measures to
<br />address those impacts. The Program EIR also contemplates the re-zoning actions called for by
<br />Programs 1.1 and 1.4. Therefore, the proposed implementation of Housing Element Programs
<br />1.1 and 1.4 are within the scope of the project analyzed in the Program EIR, and no further CEQA
<br />review is necessary; and

<br />create a ODS Housing Sites Compliance review process, as shown in Exhibit B; and
<br />

<br />received the HOZ District Municipal Code Amendment and the ODS Housing Sites Compliance
<br />review process, considered the written agenda report, all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and
<br />recommendations of the Planning Commission and staff.
