Page 2 of 4 City Council Staff Report January 17,2007 TTM 31318&TPM 31351 Time Extensions There are no specific findings for extension of the map. In reviewing the request, staff Considered if the following circumstances have changed such that the map's approval might need reconsideration: • The project's overall plan and lot configuration, • The uses and development of the surrounding area, and • The applicable policies of the General Plan, zoning ordinance and other regulations. Since the initial tentative map entitlements in 2003, development has occurred on adjacent properties to the north, such as the Wal-Mart, Del Taco, Bank of America, etc. These projects have been evaluated during the review process of their entitlement, specifically in the Cumulative Impacts section of the Environmental Impact Report. No significant changes have occurred in the above-mentioned factors to warrant reconsideration of the map's approval and staff recommends approval of the extension request. Further, no new conditions are recommended to be added and no existing conditions are recommended for revision or amendment. (ENVIRONMENTAL.
