F. The City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the
staff report, and all written and oral testimony presents.
G. Pursuant to Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council has
considered the effect of the proposed project on the housing needs of the region, and has
balanced these needs against the public service needs of residents and available fiscal
and environmental resources.
H. Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to Section 66474 of
the Subdivision Map Act. These findings and discussions of the project as it relate to
these findings follows:
a. That the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable
general and specific plans.
The TPM proposes one (1) lot equaling 49,405-square feet for the purpose of a seventeen
(17) unit condominium project. The proposed use meets the density requirement for
Medium Density Residential (MDR) consistent with the General Plan land use
designation, and thus, this finding has been met.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are
consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed one -lot condominium map is consistent with the R-2 zone in which the
property is located. The Tentative Parcel Map will consist of one lot equaling 49,405-
square feet. The design of the proposed condominium development is consistent with the
applicable zoning designation as well.
c. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The site is physically suited for this type of development given that the 1.13-acre parcel
is adequate in size to accommodate the 17-unit complex currently under construction.
The development will have access to the existing public streets in the immediate vicinity.
Site modifications will include the placement of new sidewalks and a complex perimeter
wall.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The proposed seventeen (17) unit condominium project on a 49,405-square foot lot is
consistent with the allowable density of 6.1 —15 dwelling units per acre in the MDR General
Plan designation. In addition, the R-2 zone requires 3,000-square feet per dwelling unit
which is within the zone density requirement.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
Resolution No. 24692

The site has been previously disturbed and there are construction activities currently
underway at the subject site. A phase 1 environmental assessment was previously
conducted at the site; there were no wildlife or their habitat detected, therefore, there will be
no environmental damages as a result of the proposed condominium map.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The design of the proposed condominium complex includes connections to all public utilities
including water and sewer systems. The private driveways from North Palm Canyon Drive
will provide access to the subject lot. Pedestrian access will connect the condominium
complex to existing sidewalks.
g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property
within the proposed subdivision.
There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of
the one -lot condominium map will not conflict with easements for access through or use of
the property. Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design.
