PAGE 1 OF RESOLUTION NO. 13-96
WHEREAS, the public notice of this public hearing was given in all respects as required
by law; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville adopts a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Significance and approves General Plan Amendment request GPA 95-1
(changing the subject properry's land use designation to Commercial - General Office)
and, be it further
RESOLVED that action on GPA 95-1 is taken on the same evening that final action is taken
on GPA 95-2 (General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment request to amend the
Circulation Element of the Old Blackhawk Road Specific Plan), with the actions collectively
constituting the first of four allowable annum amendments to the Town's General Plan;
and, be it further
RESOLVED that the Town Council makes the following findings in support of this action:
.
The proposed change of the subject property's land use designation to a
Commercial - General Office land use designation and related, concurrent rezoning
to O-1; Limited Office District is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the
Danville 2005 General Plan. The site's orientation / exposure to E1 Cerro
Boulevard and Highway 680, and related traffic and noise impacts, make it
uniquely suited for conversion from a residential land use designation to an office
designation, when compared to surrounding properties which remain viable
residential properties.
,
The office uses allowed by the land use designation and zoning are compatible
with existing uses in the vicinity. The existing building, even when consideration
is given to the newly authorized range of general office uses which may occupy the
building, is generously buffered from surrounding residential properties so as to
have minimal adverse affect on those properties.
.
Community need has been demonstrated for the establishment of additional
general office space.
.
The General Plan Amendment and Rezoning will not adversely affect the Town's
ability to maintain high-quality public facilities and services.
.
The General Plan Amendment and Rezoning will not adversely affect the
preservation of present aesthetics and other community qualities.
.
The General Plan Amendment and Rezoning will not adversely affect the quality of
life within existing developed areas of the community.
