body
RECOMMENDATION:
Determine that application ALUC-2019-16, the Zoning Map Changes project, is consistent with the Travis Plan and the Nut Tree Plan.
DISCUSSION:
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The City of Vacaville has filed an application with the ALUC (ALUC-19-17), to amend the City's zoning district maps to correct several zoning designations which do not match the underlying development of the property or do not match the general plan designation for the parcel.
The City has organized the application around 38 groups of properties which are being addressed by this zoning changes project. The City has submitted a Zoning Map Booklet which depicts the location of each proposed change along with a description of the existing and proposed zoning revision. (See Attachment B).
Staff has prepared a table which lists each of the groups being reviewed along with the status of each group with respect to the Travis Plan and the Nut Tree Plan (See Attachment C Zoning Changes Table).
REQUIRED TESTS FOR CONSISTENCY BY THE AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
The City of Vacaville's project consists of zoning amendments which triggers the requirement for a consistency determination from the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission. The criteria for evaluating a general plan amendment are discussed below.
Required Tests for Consistency of Rezoning Actions
