Resolution No. PC-2002-68 Page 2 3. The subdivision, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan. The PUD was found consistent with the General Plan, and this subdivision is based on that development plan. As proposed, the subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan. 4. The subdivision site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The site is flat, used in the past for truck crop farming and orchard uses and more recently for dry-farmed grains. The geotechnical studies have found the site suitable for development with only normal issues for foundations, etc. The planned mass grading and limited fill will create minimum slopes to control runoff and allow gravity utilities (sewers, storm drains) to function. No drainage courses exist on the site. 5. The design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife in their habitat. With the PUD review, the City found no potential for significant environmental effects and adopted a Negative Declaration. There are no wetlands, streams, or other sensitive areas on the site. Conditions aze in place to protect nesting raptors and bats. Pretreatment of urban storm water runoff is built into the project's design. The existing septic tanks/leachfield systems will be removed. Best management practices are required to minimize construction stage impacts. 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subdivision is designed to be served by all City utilities and services at established service levels. Full water and sewer service is included. The street design minimizes significant traffic increases on neighboring streets and keeps project street traffic at satisfactory residential street volumes. The site is free from any toxic or hazazdous materials. New residences will have about a 120-foot setback from overhead 60 KV lines, sufficient to minimize any hazards. Land uses were designed to minimize potential noise impacts to sensitive residential uses. No earthquake, landslide, flooding, or other natural hazards exist at this site at a level deemed "unacceptable" in the General Plan. 7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements does not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property.
