Map:
1. The proposal, with its design and improvement, is consistent with applicable General
Plans and Specific Plans because the General Plan Land Use Element designates this site
for Medium Density Residential uses. This project implements the General Plan Housing
Element's policies to increase the supply of affordable housing units and the City's policy
promoting home ownership.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development because the site is flat and has
suitable access. The buildings comply with condominium (multiple house), building
coverage, height limits, parking, and open space zoning requirements.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because the
project complies with density requirements under the R -6 Zoning District and the General
Plan, meets all Open Space requirements and off- street parking requirements.
4. The design of the land division or proposed improvement is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat because the site is a vacant in -fill parcel in an urbanized area which does
not contain any natural habitat.
5. The design of the land division or improvement will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through the property within the proposed
land division because no such public easements exist on the property.
6. The design of the land division or the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems because there are no processes planned for this residential
site which are likely to cause public health problems.
