OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENTS AND OTHER ACTIONS PRECEDENT TO
THE PROPOSED RANCHO DOMINGUEZ ANNEXATION .
AREA TO THE CITY (GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO.
80-06)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. On March 7, 2006, the city of Carson initiated actions to annex
territory identified as the proposed Rancho Dominguez Annexation Area to the city of
Carson.
Section 2. The California Government Code allows a city to pre-zone a
territory for the purpose of determining the zoning that will apply to such territory after
annexation to the city. The California Government Code requires consistency between
the zoning ordinance and the General Plan; therefore, a comparable change in the
General Plan Land Use Element designation must accompany any zone change.
Therefore, an amendment to the General Plan must be considered in conjunction with
the pre-zoning associated with the entire annexation area. Pursuant to Section 65300
of the California Government Code, the Planning Commission has prepared a General
Plan amendment for the physical development of the proposed Rancho Dominguez
Annexation Area. Land use and other General Plan designations are addressed for the
annexation area. j
Section 3. On October 2, 2006, the city of Carson held a community
information meeting regarding the annexation of proposed amendments and related
items. On October 10, 2006, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at
6:30 P.M. at the Carson City Hall Council Chambers, 701 East Carson Street, Carson,
California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was duly given.
The public was duly notified of the community meeting and public hearing through
{ publication in a newspaper of general circulation, direct mailing to all property owners
and residents within the proposed annexation area, direct mailing to property owners 1
within 500 feet of the proposed annexation area, posting in public places and other
mailing to interested parties on file with the City Clerk's Office. Evidence, both written
and oral, was duly presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the
aforesaid meeting. The Planning Commission in considering the testimony presented by
the public determined that additional information was necessary to make a decision.

California. A notice of the time, place, and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was duly
given. Evidence, both written and oral, was duly presented to and considered by the
City Council at the said hearing. The City Council finds that:
1. General Plan Amendment 80-06, pertaining to Rancho Dominguez annexation
area provides land use designations that are substantially consistent with existing
land uses and designations in the area, which is almost completely developed.
The amendment will thus provide for preservation of the area's character and
environment for residents, business owners and property owners. In addition,
Section 3.8 of the Parks, Recreation and Human Resources Element is proposed
to include policies and implementation actions which are intended to help
preserve and maintain cultural landmarks and historical structures.
2. The proposed Rancho Dominguez Annexation Area is generally the area
bounded by Wilmington Avenue on the west; Del Amo Boulevard on the south;
the city of Long Beach corporate limits on the east; and the city of Compton
corporate limits on the north. The subject area is approximately 1,710 acres in
size. The area proposed for annexation lies within the City of Carson sphere of
influence.
3. The amendment is internally consistent with those portions of the General Plan
that are not being amended.
4. The amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. In,
light of the preceding findings, the Planning Commission recommends that the
City Council approve GPA 80-06, consisting of the following:
a. Addition of the proposed Rancho Dominguez annexation area to the Open
Space and Conservation Element, with no change to any parks or other
public facilities.
b. Addition of the proposed Rancho Dominguez annexation area to the
Circulation Element's Master Plan of Street and Highways, with no change
to any of the roadways shown on the Master Plan.
C. Addition of Section 3.8 to Chapter 9: Parks, Recreation and Human
Resources Element to address the preservation and maintenance of
cultural landmarks and historical structures as shown on Exhibit B.
5. Zone Change Case No. 154-06, pertaining to the proposed Rancho Dominguez
annexation area is consistent the General Plan, as proposed.

the General Plan Land Use Element be amended to change the designation of certain
property as shown in Exhibit "A", attached hereto. The City Council further finds that the
uses permitted by the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the
