Final EIR No. 2011 -01, VA No. 2012 -04 & VTTM No. 2012 -02 February 10, 2014 Page 11 • The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. • The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. • The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems. • The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with the easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed project. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the vesting map. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information, staff has prepared the following analysis, which forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. The applicant is proposing a vesting tentative tract map in order to allow the subdivision of the five - acre parcel of land into single - family lots. In order to subdivide the parcel, the proposed subdivision needs to comply with all applicable development standards such as lot size, lot coverage and all appropriate Public Works Agency standards. Based on a review of the vesting tentative tract map, the applicant has submitted a 23 lot project that has been designed to be in compliance with the applicable development standards found in Chapters 34 (Subdivision) and 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Additionally, the proposed streets will be public streets that have been designed to the City's public street standards as well as County standards for the design of the street "knuckle" As designed, the streets will be public streets that will accommodate safety vehicles as well as street parking. Approval of the vesting tentative tract map will be consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use Element promotes a balance of land uses to address basic community needs, encourages a variety of residential land uses in the City and development . that provides a positive contribution to the neighborhood character (Exhibit 11). Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2012 -02 (County Map No. 17231) is consistent with the single - family residential land use designation and density (seven units per acre) prescribed in the General Plan and will have no adverse affect on the surrounding land uses in the area. The development is consistent with the single - family residences surrounding the project on three sides. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2012 -02 (County Map No. 17231) is in keeping with the provisions of site plan review (DP No, 2010 -47) and Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, all of which pertain to the subdivision of land and development standards for the site, Although one lot will not meet the street frontage standard, a variance (Variance No. 2012- 04) is proposed for the project due to the unique design of the street. 75A -15
