City Council Staff Report February 9, 1999 General Plan Amendment; A-98-8; PD-98-2; TM 7078 Page 9 of 12 The site planning for the Planned Development allows for adequate setbacks, vehicular parking and open space that maximizes the concept of home ownership and provides security and privacy for the residents. In addition, the design of the project contains architectural patterns and elements that contribute to the character of the Planned Development, including the use of colors, tile roofs, decorative streetlights and landscaping, for all areas contiguous to the streets. The overall design and features included within the Planned Development enhances the development's long-term livability and value retention in this new neighborhood. 6. The Planned Development Project includes adequate provisions for utilities, services and emergency vehicle access and that public-service demands will not exceed the capacity of the existing and planned systems. There is adequate public service provided to the proposed subdivision, including but not limited to: the gas and electric, the water, waste disposal, cable TV, and Police and Fire services. Vesting Tentative Map These Findings have been drafted into a Resolution for the Council's consideration: A. The proposed map will be consistent with the amended General Plan and applicable specific plans in that it provides for lower -density residential use in an area with some older residential and industrial development. B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan in that it includes an orderly division of parcels which are adequately served by streets and with drainage for single-family residential development. C. The site is physically suitable for residential development in that it is relatively flat and there are no known problems regarding cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Soil stability will be reviewed thoroughly prior to issuance of building permits. Plant life will be indexed for retention along the creek bank. Any new plant material will be required to be native variety in a riparian habitat. D. The proposed density of development of one dwelling unit per 5,488 square feet (7.9 units/acre) will be compatible with adjacent existing, low -density, single-family development. E. The design of the subdivision or proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, as stated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. F. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public -health problems. A residential subdivision will not involve any amounts of hazardous materials or products.
