Findings. That this council,, after consideration of the tentative map of MS 117 -95 and staff recommendations, and reports thereof, makes the following findings: 1. The design of the tentative map and proposed improvements are consistent with the general plan, because they implement Medium - Density Residential policies of the Land Use Element. 2. The site is physically suited for the type and density of development allowed in the Medium- Density Residential (R -2) zone. 3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause serious health problems, substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, because the site will remain unchanged and there will be no change to density or intensity of use as a result of the subdivision. 4. The design of-the subdivision or the type of improvement will not conflict with easements for access through, or use of property within, the proposed subdivision, because there are no recorded easements. 5. An initial study of environmental impacts was prepared by the Community Development Department on September 27, 1995, that describes significant environmental impacts associated with project development. The Community Development Director has reviewed the environmental initial study and filed a Negative Declaration of environmental impact, with mitigation. The initial study concludes that the project will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment, subject to the mitigation measures being incorporated into the project, and the City Council hereby adopts the Negative Declaration and finds that it reflects the independent judgement of the City Council. R 8469 Resolution no. 8469 (1995 Series) MS•117 -95 (County # 95 -087) 1236 George Street Page 2 6. The property to be divided is of such a size and shape, that it is impossible and undesirable, in the particular case, to conform to the strict application of the subdivision and zoning regulations because 1) no subdivision of the site is possible without some exception; and 2.) creation of two small lots with small homes will increase the number of small homes available for sale in the city, while not decreasing significantly the rental opportunities. 7. The cost to the subdivider of strict or literal compliance with the subdivision and zoning regulations is not the sole reason for granting exceptions to lot width and depth-to- width standards, but rather the primary reason for granting the exceptions is the city's interest.in providing opportunities for citizens to own modest homes. 8. The lot width, depth, and area exceptions will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, or be injurious to other- properties in the vicinity, because the proposed lots will be similar to many others in the Vicinity, which have been developed similarly, and are therefore consistent with neighborhood patterns. 9. Granting exceptions to lot width, depth, and area standards is in accord with the intent and purposes of the subdivision regulations, and is consistent- with the general plan and all other plans of the city, because it allows continuation of a neighborhood development pattern and is consistent with general plan policies for the Medium- Density Residential zone.
