Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -02 June 4, 2014 Page 4 • The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. The proposed site is physically suitable for the single- family residence as proposed since the property is located within the Multiple - Family Residence (R -3) zoning district, which permits single - family dwellings, and has a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential at seven dwelling units per acre. Additionally, this site is surrounded by a combination of residential uses of various densities, including single - family and multi - family structures. • The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. Since the project site is located in an urbanized area, 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. • Design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems. The proposed subdivision will not have any detrimental effects upon the general public. Each property includes necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as conditioned in Development Project No. 2014 -01. • The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property within the proposed project since there is no significant public access easement located within this property. The tentative parcel map is proposed to subdivide an existing 13,511- square foot site into two parcels. The subdivision has been reviewed and has been found to be in conformance with the City's subdivision regulations (SAMC Chapter 34) as well as the California Subdivision Map Act. Existing infrastructure in the area will be upgraded to service the project. These upgrades include construction of a new driveway, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters; planting of new sod and tree in the landscape parkway; and new water service, all per City standards. The proposed project, including both the subdivision and construction of a new single- family residence, meets all provisions of the zoning code (SAMC Chapter 41), including lot size, lot frontage, landscaping, setbacks, lot coverage, and parking. Further, the proposed subdivision is at seven dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation and all other elements of the General Plan. As a result, staff recommends approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -02 (County Map No. 2013 -154) as conditioned (Exhibit 6).
