The proposed Zoning Ordinance and Zone Change are consistent
with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan.
Chapter 3 of the General Plan calls for "encouraging mixed use
development in the University District'. Policy 4.2 requires the
revitalization of the Foothill Center and Policy 4.3 encourages the
development of "housing in mixed-use settings", and calls for
"new developments and substantially remodeled commercial
developments to integrate sidewalks, plazas, and other amenities
that contribute to pedestrian -oriented activities" The proposed
Zoning Amendment would allow the project to be developed with
alternate development standards while still meeting the intent of
the General Plan.

The proposed project would be beneficial to the surrounding
properties. The existing commercial retail center is currently under
utilized and the southwest portion of the site consists of abandoned
building pads and a largely vacant parking lot. The existing
development on the south and west side of the proposed project is
single-family residential. The proposed residential development,
which would replace the abandoned building pads and parking lot,
would be an improvement to the area. The new commercial retail
center will provide more services to the surrounding area and
improve the appearance of the neighborhood.
