3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby makes the following finds and concludes as follows:
a. The previously approved entitlement is consistent with the general plan. The
underlying general plan designation is Suburban Neighborhood Very Low. This designation is
intended to promote low -density residential development, which is suburban in nature, including
large lot sizes, yards, and allowing for a maximum residential density of up to six dwelling units
per acre. The previously approved entitlement provides parcels exceeding 20,000 sq ft in size,
and a residential density of 1.3 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the intent of the General
Plan.
b. The previously improved entitlement is in accord with the objectives of the
development code and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The project site is
located within the Very Low Residential (VL) zone, which is intended for semi -rural residential
uses with a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq ft and a maximum residential density of two dwelling
units per acre. The previously improved entitlement provides nine new parcels, all of which
exceed 20,000 sq ft, with a residential density of 1.3 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the
purpose of the VL zone.
c. The previously approved entitlement complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code. The proposed new parcels comply with all lot dimension
standards as detailed in section 17.36.010. Future development of the newly created parcels shall
likewise be required to adhere to all development standards applicable to the VL zone. While the
previously approved entitlement includes the creation of a cul-de-sac, the entitlement was granted
prior to the implementation of the City's street connectivity standards as detailed in Development
Code Section. Thus, the proposed cul-de-sac is consistent with the provisions for nonconforming
lots as detailed in Development Code Section 17.62.070.

d. The previously approved entitlement, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity. The previously approved tract map is within the
maximum density allowed by both the project site's underlying zone and general plan land use
designation. Conditions of approval, including those pertaining to site development, traffic, and
historical/cultural resources, were applied to the original entitlement and shall apply to any future
development of the site.
4. Planning department staff have determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 1 categorical exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301 — Existing Facilities, which includes the permitting and leasing of
existing private A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for SUBTT18012-1 and accepted
by the planning commission on September 8, 2021, which included the implementation of a
mitigation monitoring program. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is
required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i)
substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the
environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project
was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new
important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously
considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different
mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
The project scope is for a time extension on the existing entitlement only and does not
include the physical development of the project site. Any future development of the proposed new
parcels shall require compliance with the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation
Monitoring Program, and all conditions which were applied to the original approval of the project.
Thus, staff concludes that the proposed time extension is exempt from further review under
CEQA.
5. 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, 2,
3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every
condition set forth in the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference.
