The proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans. The subject property is designated as H43/30 (High"Density) allowing 43 hotel or 30 residential units per acre and is zoned R-4. The application entails subdividing 2 acres into 24 condominium lots. The project complies with the General Plan and will be a beneficial improvement within the neighborhood. b. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistentwith the General Plan. The improvements associated with the proposed subdivision include 24 condominiums, sidewalks,and landscaping. The proposed condominium projectprovides off-street parking, sufficient amenities, and have been designed to be compatible with surrounding developments. All of the proposed improvements are consistent with the General Plan. c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by the proposed subdivision. The project will comply with all R-4 property development standards. The surrounding ' neighborhood consists of existing multiple-family residential and commercial uses,as well as a church. Thus, the project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development contemplated by the proposed subdivision. The project will be compatible with existing land use designations in the surrounding neighborhood based on the density. The proposed 24 unit development is consistent with the General Plan designation of 30 residential units per acre. In this case,the units would consist of two-story buildings that have been designed to respect the existing buildings in the neighborhood. The neighborhood also consists of some existing two-story buildings to the south of the subject property and a new two-story development located immediately west of the subject property. Thus,the project should be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. e. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use. Conditions of this project will require dedication of right-of-way along Arenas Road thatthe street can be developed to its ultimate right-of-way as required bythe General Plan such that the roadway will not be negatively impacted by trips generated from this project. f. The conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed ' Resolution 20314 Page 3 Page 3 of 3 ' Resolution TTM 30313 April 24, 2002 necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare, including any minor modifications of the zone's property development standards. All proposed conditions of approval are necessary to ensure public health and safety including, but not limited to, the requirements for curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Additionally, the project design features abundant landscaping, large common areas, covered parking, and provide adequate off-street parking. g. A nexus and rough proportionality have been established for requirement of dedication of the additional right-of-way to the City and the off-site improvements as related to the tentative tract map, The off-site improvements,which are required by the Zoning Ordinance, are related to the project since the property owners must use Arenas Road to access the site. Currently,the subject property is vacant and therefore little or no usage of the roads, sidewalks, and utilities is due to the subject property at this time. However, the future property owners will benefit from any improvements made to Arenas Road such as dedication of easements, sidewalks,and future widening. The required dedication of right-of-way and improvements _ will provide safety benefits to the property owners and will aesthetically enhance the ' neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby orders the filing of a Negative Declaration,and approves Tentative Tract Map 30313 subject to those conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
