IV. SPA FINDINGS THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN AS AMENDED IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE SUNBOW II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. The amendments have no impact on the Sunbow II General Development Plan and the Chula Vista General Plan. THE SUNBOW II SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTtALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA. The sideyard setback and floor area ratio amendments do not affect the sequence of development within the Sectional Planning Area plan area. THE SUNBOW II SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN AS AMENDED WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION, OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. The sideyard setback and floor area ratio modifications requested are minor in nature. In order to ensure that adjacent residents will not be impact, the developer has agreed to conditions which preclude an increase in the floor area ratio adjacent to existing single family homes. Therefore, these amendments will not adversely affect adjacent land use, residential enjoyment, circulation, or environmental quality. V. ADOPTION OF SPA In light of the findings above, the amended Sunbow II Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan consisting of the modification of the sideyard setbacks from 13'/3' (minimum total/one side) to 10'/5', and to increase the allowable floor area ratio from 50% to 55% in the RS Single Family Land Use District with certain exceptions, is hereby approved and adopted in the form presented and attached as Exhibit "B".
