General Plan Amendment - Findings: In the exercise of its independent judgment, and with the affirmative vote of at least four (4) members, the Commission finds that: a. The Project, including the General Plan Amendment revising the non-residential development cap, is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's 2010 General Plan and appropriately implements the Mixed Use - Downtown General Plan land use designation, as set forth in the staff report and analyses referenced therein. b. The Project, including the proposed General Plan text amendment to increase the development cap for non-residential development within downtown will not create conditions that would be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. c. Through the adoption of the SEIR and its associated Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMRP), all identified impacts associated with the General Plan amendment to increase the non-residential development cap would be mitigated to a less -than - significant level.
