code amendment to consider changing the zoning of two parcels within the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving required notice, did on the 10d' day of
October, 2017, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the
Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 17-5921 recommending to the City Council approval
of Zone Change No. 17-01; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered evidence presented by the Planning
Commission, Planning Department, and other interested parties at a duly advertised public
hearing on the 7t` day of November, 2017; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by this Council and on its behalf reveal
the following facts:
1. Parcel 8468-016-901 is zoned Office -Professional, but was excluded from 'the
Downtown Plan and Code update which changed the adjacent commercial and
office properties to the General Urban zoning designation in the Downtown Plan.
2. Parcel 8486-008-002 was purchased by the City in November of 2016 as part of
the effort to expand the City's parkland. The proposal would be to change the
zoning designation from Single -Family Residential (R-1) to Open -Space (O-S) to
match the existing park (Cameron Park).
3. The proposed action is considered to be exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)

which does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
