FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE 14-003
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project will not have any significant effect on the
environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 5, which supplements the California
Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor easement vacation.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE NO. 14-003:
The proposed vacation of two 250 square foot portions of an existing public pedestrian right of way
easement conforms to the following goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan:
A. Land Use Element
LU Goal 2: Ensure that development is adequately served by transportation infrastructure,
utility infrastructure, and public services.
A public pedestrian path easement between the existing residential neighborhood and the
adjacent future residential neighborhood is necessary to support existing and future public
use. The proposed reduction in the size of the existing easement will not negatively impact
surrounding property owners or future users of the new public park to be developed. Upon
vacation, the fee title for the area will revert back to the adjacent single family property owners.
The public pedestrian path will continue to provide access between neighborhoods and ensure
equal public park use opportunity.
B. Circulation Element
CE Goal 7: Provide a system of bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian paths, and waterways for
commuter, school and recreational use.
CE Policy 7.5: Maintain existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and require developers to
provide pedestrian walkways and/or bicycle pathways between new residences and schools,
parks, and public facilities.
Existing streets, sidewalks, and the subject pedestrian easement currently provide sufficient
access between the former Lamb School site and the surrounding residential uses. Following
the subject vacation, a majority of the right of way easement will be preserved and will
continue to support the public circulation needs of the abutting properties. Vacating two 250
square foot portions of an existing public pedestrian right of way easement will maintain the
pedestrian path and will not have a detrimental impact on the circulation system.
