VTTM No. 2015 -01 June 22, 2015 Page 4 • 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 easements necessary for public access through or use of the property within the proposed project. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the vesting 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. Based on a review of the tentative map by the Planning Division and Public Works Agency, 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, as well as the provisions of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2). Further, approval of the map will be consistent with the goals and policies identified in the City's General Plan. The proposed subdivision, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2015 -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 1.7 (Support open space in underserved areas); and Policy 3.1 (Support development which provides a positive contribution to neighborhood character and identity). • The proposed subdivision conforms to the minimum requirements as well as meets the letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act provisions. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2015 -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 that preclude development of the site. The proposed site consists of approximately 2.27 acres of land within the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2), which is physically suitable for the residential development as proposed. Access to the site will occur from a single poinl 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. RKEW
