The proposal is to change the general plan land use designations so that they better reflect the actual use and zoning. In a few cases it will be necessary to change the zoning to match the land use. Specifically the properties fronting on Toyon would be changed from service and special sales commercial to low density residential conforming to their present R-1 and R-3 zoning designations and uses. The property behind this to the west (auto dealerships) would retain its service and special sales general plan designation but would be rezoned from M-1 light industrial to C-2 heavy commercial, the appropriate zone for auto sales and service. C-2 is also the zone used in the general plan to implement the service and special sales land use designation. The area west of the auto dealerships fronting on Carolan Avenue to Cadillac Way, a large campus type apartment complex, would have its general plan designation changed from service and special sales to high density residential to be consistent with its present R-4 residential zoning. On the north side of the apartment complex are three properties now developed in commercial uses (office building, gas station, restaurant and parking structure) with a general plan land use designation of`service and special sales, but zoning of R-4 and M-1. These three parcels would be rezoned to C-2. Across Cadillac Way, between Cadillac-Carolan-Broadway and Rollins Road, is an area occupied by auto dealerships and designated on the land use map as service and special sales. This area would be rezoned from M-1 light industrial to C-2 heavy commercial, the appropriate implementing zoning for the general plan designation and also appropriate for the auto sales/service use. The area is fully developed. The proposed project would not change any existing land uses. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The project area is a basically flat area which has been fully developed since the mid -1950's. The residential areas are landscaped with typical exotic plants. There are no rare or endangered plant or animal species present in the area. All city services and utilities are provided in this area and have adequate capacity for the development. The area is in the flatlands but is not a designated flood hazard zone. -2 - ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF PROJECT: (Explanations of all "yes" and "maybe" answers are provided at the conclusion of this . section.) 2. 3 EARTH.
