Ordinance No. 2308 Page 10 of 12 1 . Sustainability Program 2.6 ("Require design features in new development and redevelopment areas to encourage transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access, such as connections between activity centers and residential areas, and road design that accommodates transit vehicles, where feasible") in that it will include a Class 1 trail extension between the Project site and Mohr Avenue to facilitate transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access. 2. Land Use Policy 25 ("Annex urbanized pockets of unincorporated land adjacent to the city limits in areas where landowners are willing to accept City services and development standards") as it will annex a portion of unincorporated land immediately adjacent to city limits where the applicant is willing to accept City services and comply with City development standards, as reflected in the requested PUD for the Project. 3. Land Use Policy 23 ("Maintain a permanent Urban Growth Boundary [UGB] beyond which urban development shall not be permitted") as the Project site is within the City's UGB. B. The findings for denial of a tentative map set forth in Government Code § 66474 cannot be made with respect to the proposed tentative map. The proposed tentative map for Tract 8423 is not inconsistent with the General Plan, as set forth in finding 4(A) above, and no Specific Plan applies to it. Moreover, the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not inconsistent with applicable general and specific plans, as set forth in finding 4(A) above. The Project site is not physically unsuitable for the type of development proposed, as analyzed in the Addendum prepared for the Project. The Project site is likewise not physically unsuitable for the proposed density of development (6.3 dwelling units per acre), as the proposed General Plan land use designation allows development of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. As analyzed in the EIR and the subsequent Addendum, the design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Similarly, the design of the subdivision and type of improvements (single-family homes) are not likely to cause serious public health problems. Finally, the design of the proposed subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision, as no such easements are located on the Project site. C. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California regional water quality control board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code.
