The granting of the variances will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding properties. As demonstrated in the site plan for the project, the site will have sufficient parking, open space, landscaping, and use of alternative materials to assure that the development of the site will provide an enhanced living condition to its residents. Therefore, the reduction in front and rear yard setbacks will not be detrimental to the surrounding community as it will not result in impacts affecting adjacent residential properties to the north, south, and east of the site. Further, the granting of the variance will allow the development of a vacant site and allow full use of the property. Finally, conditions have been placed to ensure that the site is in compliance with all other development standards and maintenance standards applicable to the property. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city. The project will not adversely affect the General Plan, but rather supports its goals. Goal 1 and 2 of the Land Use Element encourages uses that promote a balance of land uses that address basic community needs and enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. The project complies with the majority of the (R-1) Single -Family Residence zoning district and addresses basic community needs such as additional housing opportunities which enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. Goal 3 of the Land Use Element is to preserve and improve the character and integrity of the neighborhoods. By subdividing the one -acre parcel into five single-family residential lots and developing single-family structure, the new development is preserving and improving the character of the neighborhood. In addition, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. The project will be located on a site surrounded by residential uses and will be compatible with the surrounding single family structures. Furthermore, Goal 6 strives for reducing residential overcrowding in order to promote public health and safety. By constructing five new single family homes, the project site is providing additional housing to the community that would not be available if the site remained vacant. Lastly, conditions of approval will also ensure that the project remains compatible with surrounding land uses and guarantees that on-site maintenance of the property will continue to occur.
