following findings:
The design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and the Business
and Waterfront Improvement Project of the Community Improvement Plan which specify
residential use and medium density for this site.
2. With the exception of the proposed remainder parcel, the design and improvement of the
proposed subdivision is consistent the General Plan and the Business and Waterfront
Improvement Project of the Community Improvement Plan which encourage extension of
the City's road grid' network, extension of public access adjacent to the waterfront, and
promote residential use of this site. The proposed remainder parcel, however, is irregularly

based on the analysis and conclusions described in the adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
6. The design of the subdivision or improvement will not conflict with easements acquired by
the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision
because the project would include public right -of -way that would enhance public access
through the subject property, and all existing easements would be preserved or relocated.
7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public
health problems. The proposal is for residential uses at the site.
8. The design of the subdivision is substantially consistent with Planned Development approval
(PD- 99 -1) for the Marina Cove Subdivision.

approval.
CHANGES IN SUBDIVISION DESIGN
7. Prior to recordation of the Final Map, the Subdivider shall revise the Final Map to
accomplish the following to the satisfaction of the Planning Director:
The creation of the remainder parcel is specifically disapproved. The portion of site
identified as a remainder parcel shall be incorporated within the parcel on which the
Del Monte building is now located, and Entrance Road will be part of the proposed
subdivision, together with the area on which the Chipman warehouse is located. In
general concept the new lot line between the proposed subdivision and the Del Monte
building property shall be a line extending north south on the westerly side of
Entrance Road with one parcel containing the Del Monte Building to the west, and
the parcel which is to be part of the subdivision located to the east;
crease the right -of -way for proposed Clement Avenue Extension from 67 to 69 feet
in order to accommodate two 12 -foot wide travel lanes, one 17 -foot wide alternative
vehicle corridor on the north side of the road (presently this area would contain a
multi - purpose path and landscaping), one 8 -foot wide parking lane on the south side
of the road, and two 5 -foot wide bicycle lanes, and one 4 -foot wide sidewalk and one
6 -foot wide landscape strip. For the easterly portion of the road, where the right -of-
way is limited by the adjacent property held by Pennzoil, the 69 foot right -of -way
may be reduced to 67 feet provided the width of the sidewalk, planter strip, bike lane,
or parking area are reduced in order to increase the area for an alternative vehicle
corridor from 15 feet to 17 feet. As an alternative the right -of -way may be increased
by reducing the required sideyard setbacks on the two adjoining blocks by no more
than 3 inches for each lot in order to add two feet to the Clement Avenue right -of-
way;
e.
Provide a 10 -foot wide driveway, turn around space, and, gate access improvements,
as well as necessary easements, to allow for public access to the east side of the
Arbor Street pump station for maintenance activities;
Reconstruct frontage improvements along Buena Vista Avenue and designate the
street for "No Parking" along the north side. The striping plan for Buena Vista
Avenue shall include installation of a two way left turn lane along the development
frontage;
Revise the proposed Hibbard Street extension so that it would be constructed to 20
ft. width from the proposed west curb and shall be designated as a one way street
south bound towards Buena Vista Avenue. In this location, the Hibbard Street
extension is only within half of the right -of -way required for a street. When the
adjacent property to the east redevelops, it is anticipated that Hibbard street will
ultimately be developed to the width of a full residential street located within a
standard right -of -way. In the interim, street improvements shall include adequate
striping and signage to indicate that Hibbard Street from Eagle Avenue to Clement
Avenue extension is a one -way street. A temporary extruded curb, in lieu of redwood
header shall be provided along the pavement edge of the east side of the street;
Construct Entrance Road so that it has a curb to curb width of 36 feet and a right -of-
way width of 56 feet;
g. Provide disabled parking (one space) at the shoreline park parking lot in conformance
with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and City standards;
h. Provide a traffic signing and striping plan to indicate the location of all stop signs and
other traffic control devices. Stop signs will be required at all public and private
street intersections with Buena Vista Avenue, Clement Avenue, Eagle Avenue,
Hibbard Street, and Entrance Road, and will be required at each private roadway
entrance onto a public street;
Modify the lot layout for the block between Hibbard and Pam Streets to maximize
traditional front yards facing Hibbard Street. This can be accomplished by
modifying access to some or all of the courts so that access is from Paru Street rather
than Hibbard Street.
J•
The subdivider shall underground all new utility lines, and those existing utilities
located within and along the project frontage. Along the north side of Buena Vista
Avenue, the subdivider shall install underground facilities that could accommodate
the future installation of underground facilities along Buena Vista Avenue; and
k. Modify the driveway location for comer lot homes located on Clement Avenue (Lots
27, 45, and 127) so that vehicular access is provided from interior streets in order to
minimize the number of driveways on Clement Avenue.
