VTTM No. 2014 -01 <br />January 12, 2015 <br />Page 4 <br />The project site is located within the Corridor land use district of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit <br />Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2). The Specific Plan allows for mixed -use commercial and residential <br />developments, making the subject application consistent with the zoning designation. <br />Project Analysis <br />Vesting tentative tract map requests are governed by Section 34 -119 through 34 -318 of the SAMC. <br />Vesting tentative tract map requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be <br />established: <br />• The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and improvements are consistent with the <br />General Commercial land use designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent <br />with all other elements of the General Plan and any applicable specific plans. <br />• The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning <br />and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. <br />• The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. <br />• The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental <br />damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. <br />• The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health <br />problems. <br />• The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary <br />for public access through or use of the property within the proposed project. <br />If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the vesting tentative tract map. <br />Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information, staff <br />has prepared the following analysis, which forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this <br />report. <br />Based on a review of the tentative map by the Planning Division and Public Works Agency, the <br />project has been designed to be in compliance with the applicable development standards found in <br />Chapters 34 (Subdivision) and 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as well as the <br />provisions of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2). Further, approval of the <br />map will be consistent with the goals and policies identified in the City's General Plan. <br />32A -6 <br />
