Resolution No. PC-2006-42 Page Three 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. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan EIR established overall mitigations for potential environmental impacts throughout the Corridor, including this site, and this project has incorporated those that are relevant to its site. These include creation of an Open Space Management Plan, measures to protect nesting raptors and bats, mitigation for tree removal, pre-treatment of urban runoff, and best management practices for construction stage impacts. Therefore, this finding can be made. 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed project, including the recommended conditions of approval, meets all applicable City standards pertaining to public health, safety, and welfare (e.g., adequate public utilities and services, road design and traffic safety, fire hazazds, geologic hazards, flood hazards, etc.). All public safety measures aze addressed through the design and conditions of approval for the PUD and tentative subdivision map. Therefore, this finding can be made. 7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements does not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. No easements exist. This tentative map establishes the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) easement required by the Specific Plan and an access easement to the City water tank parcel. The project anticipates the vacation of a portion of the Old Vineyard right-of--way to Lot 1. This vacation of the portion of the excess roadway right-of--way is consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Therefore, this finding can be made. 8. The restriction on approving a tentative subdivision map on land covered by a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 is not applicable. The site is not covered by such a contract. Therefore, this finding can be made. 9. The dischazge of waste from the proposed subdivision would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB). No violation currently exists at the wastewater treatment plant. Capacity is available for this subdivision. The project would not discharge any waste other than domestic sewage. Urban stormwater runoff is required to meet the City's RWQCB permit requirements for urban development. Therefore, this finding can be made.
