Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01 May 28, 2013 Page 5 compatible in scale, and 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. 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. 2010-11). 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. The proposed site consists of approximately 28,604 square feet within the Transit Zoning Code (TZC) (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage, which is approximately 310 feet, exceeds the minimum required, providing ample street frontage for the project along Santa Ana Boulevard and Garfield Street. 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. • The project site is located in an urbanized area and was previously developed with single-family dwellings and accessory structures. Environmental Impact Report 2006-02 was adopted for the TZC in 2010. The EIR analyzed a future build-out scenario for development at the maximum allowable intensity allowed under the TZC. The proposed project is within the anticipated land use, as well as, density and intensity outlined in the EIR. Further, the EIR analysis found no evidence of endangered, rare or threatened species in the area. 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. • The design or improvements of the proposed development will not cause serious public health problems. The proposed project will comply with all applicable Title 24, California Building Code, and all other applicable regulations intended to safeguard the public. As a residential use, there will be no hazardous material, noxious fumes or vibrations generated by the use. Approval of the tentative tract map for condominium purposes for this project will not create conflicts with any easements necessary for the public access through the subject property, as there are none identified on the most current title report. 32A-7
