The proposed map will be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map, amended July 18, 2005, in that it provides for attached residential development (townhouses) in what has been designated in the General Plan as a "Medium Density" land use area. The actual medium density residential development would be compatible with the immediate residential zoning in the Davis Street, Pacific Avenue and Wayne Avenue area. The proposed plan carries out General Plan Policies 2.05, 3.01 and 3.04 which is to ensure infill development are compatible with existing residential development, to encourage a mix of residential development types in the City, including single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes, as well as townhomes, row houses, live-work units, planned unit developments and multi-family housing and to encourage infill development on vacant or underused sites within residential areas, respectively. In addition, the proposal carries out General Plan Policy 13.04 which is to ensure that properties developed in the vicinity of BART stations and along public transit routes are developed in a way that maximizes the potential for transit use. The City Engineer has also determined that Tentative Map 7631 is also consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan in that it includes an orderly division of a parcel which is adequately served by streets and with drainage for the townhouse development. C. The site is physically suitable for residential townhouse development in that the site is relatively flat. This site area would accommodate the proposed townhouse development. There are no known problems regarding cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Soil stability will be reviewed thoroughly prior to issuance of building permits. A mitigation monitoring plan to address noise, geology and soils, and hydrology on the site will be implemented. D. The proposed medium density of development of approximately one dwelling unit per 2,614 square feet (17 units/acre) will be compatible with the adjacent multi-family development to the south and southeast, with the single-family development to the west and the southwest, and with the existing church directly adjacent to the south o the property.
