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. 2013 -09). The proposed site consists of approximately 17 single family residences within a 3.3. acre site on property zoned Single Family Residence (R -1). Each of the proposed lots will contain 50 feet of street frontage and a minimum of 6,000 square feet of lot area, meeting or exceeding the minimum required. Additionally, the density of the project is within the maximum allowed by the Low Density Residential (LR -7) General Plan designation. 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. The proposed project is within the anticipated land use, as well as, density outlined in the General Plan designation of Low Density Residential (LR -7). 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. 32A -7
