That the Master Land Use Plan amendment is consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, and with the purposes, standards and land use guidelines therein by implementing key housing and mixed -use strategies outlined in the Sixth Cycle Housing Element and the C3 Plan. The modifications increase residential capacity to meet the City's housing needs while preserving employment -generating land uses in appropriate areas. The addition of residential and mixed -use development in the Office District and the Katella District further supports economic development and provides much -needed housing near job centers and transit corridors; 2. That the Master Land Use Plan amendment results in development of desirable character that will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the Platinum Triangle because it promotes a desirable development character that is compatible with both existing and proposed projects in the Platinum Triangle.

The introduction of new residential and mixed -use districts, such as the Sunkist -Lewis District, enhances the diversity of land uses while maintaining design standards that align with the Platinum Triangle's vision. The increase in residential development opportunities within the Platinum Triangle supports the City's long-term growth objectives while maintaining a balanced distribution of land uses. Additionally, the amendment maintains a balanced distribution of land uses within the City by providing high -quality housing opportunities in strategic locations; 4. That the Master Land Use Plan amendment respects environmental, aesthetic and historic resources consistent with economic realities as the potential environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Project. The amendment respects environmental, aesthetic, and historic resources while acknowledging economic realities.

Future residential and mixed -use projects will adhere to updated development standards, objective design standards, and applicable mitigation measures; and WHEREAS, the City Council determines that the evidence in the record constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report and all materials in the project files.
