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. 2010-13). Covenants, Conditions <br />and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project, which <br />need to be approved by the City prior to the City Council <br />approval of the final map. <br />3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the <br />proposed project. <br />The proposed site consists of approximately 24,829 within <br />the Transit Zoning (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2 <br />(UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage, which is <br />approximately 314.1 feet, exceeds the minimum required, <br />providing ample street frontage for the project along Fifth <br />and Porter Streets. Since the topography of the site is flat <br />and its geometry is rectangular, the site has been <br />determined to be physically suitable for a residential <br />development at the proposed density since there are no <br />physical constraints on the site to preclude 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. Environmental Impact Report 2006-02 <br />was adopted in 2010 for the Transit Zoning Code (TZC). <br />The EIR analyzed a future build-out scenario for <br />development at the maximum allowable intensity allowed <br />under the TZC. The proposed project is within the <br />anticipated land use, as well as, density and intensity <br />outlined in the EIR. The project can be characterized as an <br />Resolution No. 2013-07 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />32B-23
