Resolution No. PC-2006-68 Page Two The subdivision site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. Project construction would involve site grading and alteration of existing topography. No existing drainage courses would be altered. Existing trees to be removed would be mitigated in accordance with the development plan approval. Therefore, this finding can be made. 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. Grading has been designed to reflect existing topographic conditions, minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepared for the proposed project. All lots will be designed to drain to the face-of--curb with the storm water runoff directed into public bio-retention swales for pretreatment before entering City storm drains. Additionally, adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. Therefore, this finding can be made. 4. 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., vehicle access, geologic hazards, and flood hazards. All public safety measures are addressed through provisions of approval of the development plan and conditions of approval for the tentative subdivision map. Therefore, this finding can be made. 5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements does not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property. The subject property is not covered by any extant public access easements that would have to be maintained with the proposed subdivision. Furthermore, a public sidewalk will be constructed on the north side of Cameron Avenue as required by PUD-50, the approved PUD development plan. Therefore, this finding can be made. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that the proposed subdivision is in keeping with the requirements of the previously approved PUD development plan.
