VTTM No. 2014 -01 January 12, 2015 Page 5 • The proposed subdivision, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2014 -01, is consistent with the Urban Neighborhood land use designation and density prescribed and all other elements of the General Plan. Specifically, the proposed subdivision is consistent with several policies within the Land Use Element of the General Plan, including: Policy 1.5 (Maintain and foster a variety of residential land uses in the City); Policy 1,6 (Support 'live /work" opportunities within specifically defined areas); and Policy 1.7 (Support open space in underserved areas). • 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. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2014 -01 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. • There are no physical constraints on the site to preclude development. The proposed site consists of approximately 7.60 acres of land within the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2), which is physically suitable for the mixed -use commercial and residential development as proposed. Access to the site will occur from two points on Harbor Boulevard. • The proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. A program -level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act for the new Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan that anticipated up to 2,000 residential units being built in the Specific Plan area. The project site is located in an urbanized area, and there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the project site. • The proposed subdivision will not have any detrimental effects upon the general public. The short -term and long -term unavoidable adverse impacts identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 2014 -01 were addressed by the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations by the City Council. Any other negative or adverse impacts will be mitigated through mitigation measures identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 2014 -01 and conditions of approval for the vesting map. • 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 public access easement located within this property. 32A -7
