CC - 1987-48 - Adotping General Plan for the CityRESOLUTION NO. 87-48
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD ADOPTING A GENERAL PLAN
FOR THE CITY.
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead submitted, for review, the
Housing Element of the General Plan to the Department of
Housing and Community Development, State of California, and
incorporated the comments and concerns of said Department
into the housing element; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead, as required by state law,
conducted the necessary public hearings and study sessions in
order to allow adequate public review and input with regard
to the content of the General Plan and Environmental Impact
Report (E.I.R.); and
WHEREAS, the General Plan contains all of the required
elements as mandated by Government Code section 65302 in
addition to optional Economic Development Element; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Impact Report (E.I.R.)
analyzes the environmental effects anticipated to result from
the implementation of the land use policy and meets the scope
and content for General'Plan Environmental Impact Reports
(E.I.R.'s) as mandated by California Environmental Quality
Act law and guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council finds, determines and
declares:
Pursuant to section 15091 of the CEQA guidelines, the
City Council finds that the General Plan land use element,
which is adopted by this Resolution, identifies certain areas
of the City which may experience significant effects from
housing density. However, the Implementation Plan requires
that certain changes be incorporated into the Rosemead Zoning
Code. These changes, including density reductions, will
avoid or substantially lessen the significant effects noted ,
in the final E.I.R. The resulting land use policy will not
have a significant effect on the environment. The required
changes to the Zoning Code will also eliminate inconsis-
tencies between the General Plan and the adopted Zoning Map.
The General Plan will not directly result in an increase in
population or development.
Section 2. That the City Council of the City of
Rosemead hereby certifies the Environmental Impact Report
(E.I.R.) prepared by Cotton/Beland Associates that identifies
the impacts anticipated to result from the implementation of
land use policies as described in the General Plan.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Rosemead
does hereby adopt the replacement General Plan of the City of
Rosemead as the official General Plan for said City. A copy
of the General Plan is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A"
and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. This Resolution shall be effective upon
adoption.
