f. The application as submitted includes no development of the proposed new
parcel.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed subdivision is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposal
is to subdivide a property with an area of 21,000 square feet into 2 numbered parcels. The
underlying General Plan Land Use Map designation is Suburban Neighborhood Low which is
intended for the development of medium and low-density residential neighborhoods with a
suburban character; and
b. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code for the Medium Residential (M) Zone; and
c, The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposal is for
the subdivision only and does not include any development of the proposed new parcel.
4. The Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment based upon the findings as follows:
a. State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b) (3) states that where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment, the activity is exempt from CEQA, commonly referred to as a "general rule"
exemption. The application is for the subdivision of a previously developed lot and would result in
the creation of a new parcel which is consistent with both the general plan and the development
code and is surrounded on all sides by parcels which have already been developed. No new
development has been proposed as part of the tentative parcel map application. Therefore, staff
finds that the proposed subdivision will not have any significant or direct impact upon the
environment and is thus exempt from CEQA review.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
