<br />Resolution No. PC-95-55 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />assume that the tentative map is in general <br />conformance with the County's development plan, <br />which was in conformance with County General Plan <br />at the time the project was approved. Some of the <br />City's policies are not strictly adhered to such as <br />the filling and/or alteration of stream channels <br />and natural drainage courses, the type of grading, <br />etc. However, the project is not inconsistent with <br />the type of residential development that has <br />occurred under the current General Plan in other <br />parts of the City. Therefore, the proposed <br />tentative map is in conformance with the County <br />General Plan under which the project was approved, <br />and is in general conformance with the policies and <br />programs of the City's General Plan. <br /> <br />2. The site is physically suitable for this type of <br />development and density. <br /> <br />The topography of the site is that of rolling and <br />steep-sided hills with several prominent drainage <br />courses. The subdivision has been redesigned from <br />the original plan to cluster lots more efficiently <br />and to create more open space areas. Although <br />there will be a substantial amount of landform <br />alteration, resulting in cuts and fills of up to 40 <br />feet in some areas, the subdivision design also <br />incorporates recreated drainageways and detention <br />basins. The inclusion of open space areas provide <br />an alternative method to accommodate topographical <br />changes in the site and elevational changes between <br />groups of lots. <br /> <br />The street system <br />necessary only for <br />site. Streets have <br />considerations will <br />amount of pavement. <br />City standards. <br /> <br />has been limited to that <br />access into and through the <br />been kept as narrow as safety <br />allow in order to limit the <br />Street gradients do not exceed <br /> <br />3. The design of the subdivision and proposed <br />improvements will not cause substantial <br />environmental damage or substantially and avoidably <br />injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. <br /> <br />An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the <br />project in its entirety and applies to this 227- <br />acre subdivision also. The EIR identified <br />potential significant impacts on vegetation and <br />wildlife and recommended mitigation measures to <br />off-set these impacts, which have been incorporated <br />
