Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> Would the project: <br /> a) Physically divide an established community? X <br /> b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or X <br /> regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the <br /> project (including, but not limited to the general plan, <br /> specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning <br /> ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or <br /> mitigating an environmental effect? <br /> c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation X <br /> plan or natural community conservation plan? <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a) The project site is currently occupied by a single-family residence and is <br /> surrounded by residential uses. The proposed project is considered an infill <br /> development and would not physically divide an established community. <br /> Therefore, this would be categorized as no impact. <br /> b) The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of "Low Density <br /> Residential" on the General Plan Map9. However, the General Plan Land Use <br /> Element indicates that General Plan Land Uses, densities and street alignments <br /> that are within specific plan areas are only conceptually shown on the General <br /> Plan Map while the Specific Plan provides additional detail. The project site is <br /> located in the NSSP area; therefore, the proposed development will need to <br /> conform to the Land Use Designation and density indicated by the NSSP. <br /> The NSSP Land Use Designation for the site is PUD-Agriculture, which allows a <br /> maximum density of 1.0 dwelling units per acre. In order to allow five dwelling <br /> units on the property, a Specific Plan Amendment is needed. The proposal would <br /> change the NSSP land use designation of the approximately 1.01-acre northern <br /> portion of the site from PUD-Agriculture to PUD-Medium Density Residential. The <br /> PUD-Medium Density Residential land use category allows a maximum density of <br /> 3.5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of the PUD-Medium Density <br /> Residential portion of the site would be 3.0 dwelling units per acre. The remaining <br /> 2.27-acre southern portion of the site would retain the PUD-Agriculture land use <br /> 33 <br />as a <br /> less-than-significant impact. <br /> c) Sycamore Creek runs through the southern portion of the site. In order to <br /> determine whether the proposed project would affect the water flow in <br /> Sycamore Creek, hydrology studies were prepared by LandTech, Inc7. The <br /> studies found that the proposed development would result in slight increase <br /> in surface water flow into Sycamore Creek, but the increase is not considered <br /> to be significant and would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or <br /> 31 <br />event landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, <br /> liquefaction and collapse on the project site.
