The boundaries of the proposed change are shown in Map A of the staff report. A new policy will be added on page 3-61 of the County General Plan which would read: "3-100 Development of the Garrett property, which represents the eastern portion of the Garrett/Wildes plan amendment area shall be limited to 17 units. The edges of the Garrett project shall be retained in the Open Space land use designation, as shown on Map A, and provide landscape buffers to reduce visual impacts of development. The Wildes property, which fronts along Mota Drive, and is the western piece of the plan amendment area contains sloped areas along the southern portion of the property which should remain undeveloped. The sloped area is generally shown by the Open Space designation on the Wildes property. Development of the Wildes property shall be limited to four parcels. The new lots should avoid development on the sloped areas and to the extent possible, provide access from Rio Lane so as to avoid potential circulation conflicts with traffic at the Mota Drive/Azores Circle intersection." The amendment area shall also be located on Figure 3-2 of the Countywide General Plan as shown on map A.

On July 21, 1992 the Board held hearings on the said general plan amendment discussed by the East County Regional Planning Commission Resolution 32-1992. Notice of said hearing was duly given in the manner required by law. The Board, at the hearings called for testimony of all persons interested in this matter. After taking testimony, the Board closed the public hearing and approved the general plan amendment as recommended by staff. The Board also directed staff to include the Garrett/Wildes plan amendment in one of the consolidated general plan amendments as allowed by State Planning Law. The Board finds that the proposed plan amendment will not have a significant impact on the environment because the mitigation measures which will be applied to the forthcoming subdivision will resolve all potential significant impacts. An Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted by the Board for the Garrett/Wildes General Plan Amendment. These actions satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and County CEQA guidelines. The Board members having fully considered the general plan amendment discussed in Resolution No. 32- 1992 and the recommendations included in the County Community Development staff report dated July, 21 1992, which was included in the Board's July 21, 1992 packet hereby adopts the Garrett/Wildes General Plan Amendment as recommended by staff.
