a. The proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan by
providing a variety of housing units that are compatible with the surrounding area; and
b. The proposed use is in accordance with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located by adhering to all setback, height and
density regulations that govern the area where these homes are being constructed; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code in that single-family residences are an approved use within the Low Residential
Zoned District; and
d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in April 9, 2008 in connection
with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map 18032. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in
connectionwith 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.
b. The Planning Commission finds in connection with the Design Review that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project has not occurred
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The review of the architecture and plotting of the homes on the original tract
map (SUBTT18032) were discussed and anticipated at the time of the original approval. Staff
further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed,
and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the
project to a level of less than significant. The review of this project has shown that the homes are
compatible in size and plotting as the other homes in the area, and the previous subdivision
(SUBTT18032) adequately analyzed and addressed the potential environmental impacts for 23
single-family dwelling units.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Design Review DRC2010-00318.
