3. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed project is very
similar to the recently approved condominium project to the east. The project ~erves as a good
transitional development as there are apartments to the south and west, detached condominiums
to the east, and detached single family residential developments to the north and further east. Staff
feels the proposed development is a high quality design that is very compatible with the surrounding
development in terms of density, site design, product type, colors and materials, and bulk and mass.
5. The proposal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding property, as the project
is very compatible to the existing developments in terms of density, site design, product type, colors
and materials and bulk and mass.
5. The changes proposed in the Zoning Amendment represents a decrease in the
density from High Density Residential to PDO (Planned Development Overly) and will not increase
the impacts associated with the proposed tentative tract map or subsequent future development of
the property.
Section 3. Environmental Compliance. An Initial Study prepared for this project indicates
that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in the Conditions of
Approval have been added to the project, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration, therefore, is hereby
adopted.

that the City Council adopt the Ordinance substantially in the form contained in Exhibit A
