residential development. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the intended density and
use for the underlying site; and

Development Code for the Very Low Residential (VL) Zone; and
c. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or

the subdivision only and does not include the development of the proposed new parcels. Future
development of the proposed new parcels shall be subject to separate review.
4. The Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect on the environment based on the findings as follows:

exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's
CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines

residential lot into two residential lots. Both lots will remain in conformance with the General Plan
and zoning, and no variances or exceptions are required.
