THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Resolution 20908 Page 3 ' Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the Planning Commission finds that the current environmental assessment for Case Nos. 5.0986 and 5.0982 adequately addresses the general environmental setting of the proposed Project, its significant environmental impacts, and the mitigation measures related to each significant environmental effect for the proposed projects. The City Council further finds that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance and therefore recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. Section 2: With regards to Case 5.0986, the proposed project is to amend the General Plan - Circulation Element in order to relocated a four hundred and fifty (450) foot portion of Camino Real, a collector status roadway immediately north and intersecting East Palm Canyon Drive. This portion of Camino Real is indicated on the General Plan Circulation Map but has not been constructed. The intent of the General Plan Amendment would be to relocate said portion of Camino Real west three hundred and forty (340) feet to intercept Indian Trail, proceeding north on Indian Trail one hundred and sixty-five (165) feet to intercept the existing street of Camino Real as it continues in a northerly direction. This amendment would allow the existing street configuration to be maintained. The General Plan Circulation Map indicates Camino Real proceeding north, ' bridging the Tahquitz Creek Channel, crossing Sunny Dunes and terminating at an intersection with Ramon Road. This portion of Camino Real is designated as a collector street with a right-of-way width of sixty (60) feet. The possibility of a bridge constructed across Tahquitz Creek is remote at this time. Based upon an evaluation of existing development, traffic volumes, and development potential the City Council finds that the proposed General Plan Amendment will result in adequate circulation to handle future traffic volumes. Section 3: With regards to Case 5.0982, the proposed project is to delete the Tramview Road/Avenida Caballeros extension, between San Rafael and Indian Canyon Drive, from the General Plan Circulation diagram; create General Plan Policy 7.1.5b - Sunrise Parkway Special Secondary Thoroughfare Street Section (Exhibit C) and the addition of Sunrise Parkway to the General, Plan Circulation Element as a Special Secondary Thoroughfare connecting Sunrise Way north of San Rafael Road to Highway 111; reclassify Indian Canyon on the General Plan Circulation Element, from a 154' foot right-of-way Major Thoroughfare to a 100' right-of-way for a Major Thoroughfare, through the deletion of the frontage road; delete of two elementary school sites from the General Plan Land Use Element; and relocate one park site and delete one park site on the General Plan land use element adjacent to an existing park site designation, in order to form larger park site. , 4 Based upon an evaluation of existing development, traffic volumes, and ' development potential the City Council finds that the proposed General Plan Amendment will result in adequate circulation to handle future traffic volumes. Resolution 20908 Page 4 Section 4: The proposed amendment to the General Plan Circulation Element is necessary and proper at this time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents. Section 5: The proposed amendment to the General Plan Land Use Element is necessary and proper at this time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the General Plan Circulation Element Amendment and Land Use Element Amendment as shown in Exhibits A, B, and C.
