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. 2010-19). 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 18,730 within <br />the Transit Zoning (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2 <br />(UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage, which is over <br />250 feet, exceeds the minimum required, providing ample <br />street frontage for the project along Garfield and Brown <br />Streets. Since the topography of the site is flat and its <br />geometry is rectangular, the site has been determined to be <br />physically suitable for a residential development at the <br />proposed density since there are no physical constraints on <br />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 a 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. Therefore, the <br />proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial <br />environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure <br />fish and wildlife or their habitat. <br />Resolution No. 2013-08 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />32C-21
