encourage the highest and best use for the subject property and be in
the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents.
b. The proposed Zone Change is internally consistent with all other

the adoption of the SP and associated entitlements. Community
Development Element Policy 1 strives to preserve the overall mix of
land uses and development in the community. Community

Development Element Policy 3 seeks to ensure that the type, location,
and intensity of all new development and intensified developments
adhere to the requirements specified in its particular land use
category. Community Development Element Policy 5 promotes the
comprehensive development consistent with the General Plan as
opposed to piecemeal and incremental planning. If adopted, the
proposed Zone Change would implement the proposed Park @ Live
Oak Specific Plan, which implements policies set forth in the General

over several years, addresses sustainable practices on and off-site,
promotes compatibility with surrounding areas, and provides a unique
and flexible policy document that facilitates orderly development of
the site.

interest, health safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The
purpose of the proposed Zone Change is to implement the SP, which
provides a comprehensive framework for the long-term growth and
development of the entire business park, provides clarity in processes
and in the coordination between the applicant, developers, and City.
If adopted, the proposed SP would define permitted uses, regulate the
sizes and locations of buildings, specify design guidelines and
development standards, address mobility and connectivity issues,
identify project infrastructure and services, and provide administrative
and implementation language for the entire business park.
d. The affected properties are physically suitable in terms of design,
location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the
provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services
and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width
and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed
use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or
development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a

property is located. The site and adjacent environs were studied for
