consistent with the architectural style and character of the <br />neighborhood; and Policy 5.5, Encourage development <br />which is compatible with, and supportive of surrounding land <br />uses. Further, the project provides infill housing, increases <br />the housing stock, and preserves the character and integrity <br />of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The project is <br />not located within any specific plan area of the city. <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 meets the letter and intent of the State <br />of California Subdivision Map Act and conforms to Chapters <br />34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which pertain to <br />the subdivision, development standards for the site. <br />Additionally, the project will conform to other applicable <br />codes and city ordinances as identified during the Site Plan <br />Review process (DP No. 2010-11).

The site's lot frontage, which is <br />approximately 310 feet, exceeds the minimum required, <br />providing ample street frontage for the project along east <br />Santa Ana Boulevard and Garfield Street. Since the <br />topography of the site is flat and its geometry is rectangular, <br />the site has been determined to be physically suitable for a <br />residential development at the proposed density since there <br />are no physical constraints on the site to preclude <br />development. <br />4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not <br />cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and <br />avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. <br />The project site is located in an urbanized area and was <br />previously developed with single family dwellings and <br />accessory structures. The project can be characterized as <br />an infill development adequately served by all required <br />utilities and public services. There are no known fish or <br />wildlife populations existing on the site.
