• consistent with the architectural style and character of the neighborhood; and Policy 5.5, Encourage development which is compatible with, and supportive of surrounding land uses. Further, the project provides infill housing, increases the housing stock, and preserves the character and integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The project is not located within any specific plan area of the city. 2. The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. The proposed project meets the letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act and conforms to Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which pertain to the subdivision, development standards for the site. Additionally, the project will conform to other applicable codes and city ordinances as identified during the Site Plan Review process (DP No. 2010-19). Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project, which need to be approved by the City prior to the City Council approval of the final map. 3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the • proposed project. The proposed site consists of approximately 18,730 within the Transit Zoning (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage, which is over 250 feet, exceeds the minimum required, providing ample street frontage for the project along Garfield and Brown Streets. Since the topography of the site is flat and its geometry is rectangular, the site has been determined to be physically suitable for a residential development at the proposed density since there are no physical constraints on the site to preclude development. 4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project site is located in an urbanized area and was previously developed with a single family dwellings and accessory structures. The project can be characterized as an infill development adequately served by all required utilities and public services. There are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial • environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. Resolution No. 2013-08 Page 2 of 6
