A negative declaration was adopted prior to this <br />subdivision application in conjunction with the <br />project PUD approval, because it was determined <br />that the project would not create significant <br />environmental impacts. As a part of the project <br />initial study, no waterways or wildlife habitat <br />were identified on the site. <br />4. The design of the subdivision is not likely to <br />cause serious public health problems. <br />The subdivision is for the creation of 12 <br />condominiums. All public services, including <br />water, sewer and storm drainage are currently <br />existing for the project and are included within <br />the scope of the project. <br />5. The design of the subdivision or its related <br />improvements will not conflict with easements, <br />acquired by the public at large, for access through <br />use of, property within the proposed subdivision. <br />The project site already contains all related <br />public improvements. Conditions of approval will <br />preclude conflict with public easements. <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings as <br />per the City's Condominium Conversion Ordinance: <br />1. The proposed conversion meets all of the <br />requirements of the condominium conversion chapter <br />(Chapter 17.04) of the ordinance and the purpose of <br />the district in which the site is located. <br />One purpose of the condominium conversion chapter <br />is to provide for the housing needs of all segments <br />of the community, while minimizing or avoiding <br />hardship caused by the displacement of residents <br />following conversion of their dwellings, <br />particularly senior citizens and the handicapped. <br />Another is to reduce tenant displacement by <br />encouraging ownership of lower cost residential <br />units by prior renters. As conditioned, the <br />proposed conversion will provide purchase <br />assistance to tenants to encourage them to stay and <br />purchase their unit. It will also provide <br />relocation assistance for those tenants who prefer <br />to move, and it will allow elderly and handicapped <br />tenants to continue leasing their unit if they <br />choose. <br />2. The proposed conversion is consistent with General <br />and Specific Plan policies. <br />
