subdivision with an average lot size of 14,000 square feet <br />makes this subdivision request incompatible with the existing <br />Little Texas Neighborhood. Additionally, the proposal is <br />inconsistent with Urban Design Element Policy 2.8 and Land <br />Use Element Policy 4.1 which state that the character and <br />uniqueness of existing neighborhoods are to be protected <br />from intrusive development. The neighborhood where the <br />project is located is one of the few remaining intact large lot <br />subdivisions in the City putting the proposal to subdivide one <br />of these lots in direct opposition with these Policies from the <br />General Plan. <br />2. The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable <br />requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes, as well as other <br />applicable City ordinances. <br />The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all <br />provisions of the zoning code, including landscaping, <br />setbacks, parking, lot size and street frontage. No variances <br />are required for this project and existing infrastructure in the <br />area is adequate to service the project. <br /> <br />3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the <br />proposed project. <br />The proposed site is physically suitable for single-family <br />residential development; however, the proposed density of <br />development is not consistent with the large lot size and <br />street frontage characteristics of the neighborhood. With an <br />average lot size of 14,000 square feet and average street <br />frontage of 100.42 the proposed lots would be approximately <br />one-half the size of the average lot and have one-half the <br />street frontage than average. Urban Design Element Policy <br />2.8 of the General Plan states that the character and <br />uniqueness of a neighborhood should be protected from this <br />type of intrusive development. <br />4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not <br />cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and <br />avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. <br />tr <br />L <br />Resolution No. 2009-060 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />
