Amendment Application No. 2013 -04 Tentative Tract Map No. 2013 -05 Site Plan Review No. 2013 -04 February 24, 2014 Page 6 If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the tentative tract 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 requesting approval of a tentative tract map to allow the subdivision of the 2.66 -acre parcel into 28 air -right condominiums (Exhibit 9). In order to subdivide the parcel, the project needs to comply with all applicable development standards for a tract map. Based on a review of the tentative map, the project 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 and the provisions of the proposed Specific Development No. 86 zoning district. Additionally, the internal street and alleyways are designed to be private and will be maintained by the Homeowner Association. The width and turning radius of the internal street and alleyways are adequate to accommodate Orange County Fire Authority emergency vehicles as well as Waste Management waste collection service vehicles. The proposed subdivision, Tentative Tract Map No. 2013 -05, will be consistent with the proposed LMR land use designation and density prescribed and all other elements of the General Plan. Policy No. 1,4 promotes the maintenance and fostering of a variety of residential land uses in the City. The proposed subdivision conforms to the minimum condominium requirements, as well as meets the letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act Provisions. Tentative Tract Map No. 2013 -05 is in keeping with the site plan review for the project as well as Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC &Rs) are required for the project, which need to be approved by the City prior to the recordation of the final map, The proposed site is physically suitable for the detached development as proposed since the property will be located within a Specific Development zoning district (SD86) and has a General Plan land use designation of Low Medium Density Residential at 11 dwelling units per acre (LMR11). The site is surrounded by a combination of single - family and multi - family residential uses and is determined to have the capability to support the type and density of the project. The project site is located in an urbanized area and was previously developed with a drive -in dairy and three single- family residential structures, and there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. 75A -10
