conventional in design and will mirror the 2-lot subdivision to the west; and
e. The project site is within the Equestrian Overlay District and will include the
equestrian trail improvements required by the Trail Implementation Plan and Development Code.
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 finds and concludes as follows:
a. The tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans. The project complies with all General Plan and Development
Code requirements for the Very Low General Plan Land Use District and the Etiwanda Specific Plan
Zoning District.
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The project site is being
subdivided for residential purposes and will be of similar size and density to the single-family
residential development in the surrounding area.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project is
designed to conform to all of the related development requirements of the Estate Residential (ER)
District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project site is surrounded by similar residential
development to the north, east and west and is accessed by an adjacent public street and will
connect to existing utility services.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The General Plan does not
designate the project site as sensitive habitat and the project site is surrounded by residential
development. The project site will be of similar design and layout to the surrounding residential
development and is not expected to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury
to humans and wildlife or their habitat.
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems.The
project site is being subdivided for residential purposes and will not include the use of hazardous
materials that would cause public health problems;
f. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. The subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or use
of the project site.
4. Planning Department staff has 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 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15315,which covers land divisions into 4 or fewer parcels which do not require zoning amendments
