The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. There are no physical constraints on the site that would preclude development. The proposed site consists of approximately 6.72 -acres of land and is physically suitable for the proposed small lot residential development, where lots will range in size from 4,019 square feet to 8,608 square feet. Access to the site will be from Jaguar Way, which takes access from MacArthur Boulevard, a major arterial. 4. 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. An environmental impact report (EIR) was prepared for the Armstrong Ranch development in 2002 pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act. To address potential impacts from this new proposal, an Addendum to the EIR was prepared that analyzed potential impacts generated from the 42 -unit development. The project site is located in an urbanized area, 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. 5. The 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. The short-term and long-term impacts identified in the environmental impact report, and further analyzed in the Addendum to the EIR, noted that impacts can and have been mitigated to a level of less than significant through the adoption and implementation of specific mitigation measures.
