Section 4: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474, the City Council finds that with the
incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
a. 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

' Resolution TTM 30313

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.
